Ice Bros. appear in [[World 3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3]] of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They are the enemies in the [[Enemy Course]]. As aforementioned, they use Ice Balls as weapons to harm and freeze a playable character into an ice cube (even freezing other enemies, including others of their species). Like most of their related species, they usually attack in a group of their members. If a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] catches one of their Ice Balls, the Yoshi can spit it out in the form of a blue fireball that freezes anything in its path.

Ice Bros. are a rare species of Hammer Bro that debuted in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Ice Bros. resemble ordinary Hammer Bros., but with light blue/pure white shoes, shells and helmets. Instead of throwing hammers, they will throw Ice Balls at their enemies (similar to how Fire Bros. throw Fireballs, except that their ice balls disappear upon hitting the ground).
