Snow Kingdom (The Super Mario Bros. Movie)

The Snow Kingdom is a location in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The kingdom is an icy island with snowy mountains and a small citadel made of ice, which is inhabited by penguins and the kingdom's ruler, the Penguin King. Prior to Bowser's arrival, the citadel guarded a ? Block which contained a Super Star.

The Snow Kingdom appears at the beginning of the film, where it is invaded by Bowser. When Bowser's Castle and his ship arrive, Bowser demands to the penguins to "open the gates or die". When the city's gates open, the penguins attempt to fight the Koopa Troop by throwing snowballs at them, but they fail. The penguins are then defeated using Kamek's magic, and Bowser uses his Fire Breath to destroy the citadel and reveal the ? Block, which he hits to obtain the Super Star. The kingdom's inhabitants are then imprisoned in cages inside a volcano.

Early concept art for the film shows that the kingdom's citadel was planned to be bigger than in the final film, with a skatepark and houses being among the city's locations.
