'''Ice Cubed''' is the eighteenth level in the bonus [[World-e]] in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. This card was released in Series 2 in Japan. Its official difficulty rating is ★★★★☆. The level was initially released only in [[Japan]], although it became available internationally with the [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console]] release of the game in 2016. The level contains four [[Advance Coin]]s. The key art featured [[Wendy O. Koopa]].

The level is a fortress made entirely of [[Ice Block]]s, much like the name of the level suggests. It begins with Mario in front of four [[Muncher]]s. Directly after this is an area with a [[Lakitu]], but there are also ice platforms above the player which the [[Spiny|Spinies]] can land on, then a pipe.

The two [[? Block]]s upon entering the pipe contain [[Fire Flower]]s (or a [[Super Mushroom]] if the player is not at least [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]). Across the gap is a group of [[Frozen Coin]]s, with Nipper Plants at the bottom left and right corners. Next, there are some Frozen Coins, as well as a [[Brick Block]]; inside the block is a [[P Switch|Switch Block]], which can take the player to the next area up, with several more Frozen Coins surrounding the next Switch Block. By using this, the player can access a pipe leading to the next section. However, if the player messes up the coin puzzle, they can take an alternate route.

In the upper area, there are several Switch Blocks, as well as [[Buzzy Beetle]]s and [[Turnip]]s. Impeding the path to the next area are several Munchers. By heading up the area the player can go, they find a Switch Block and a Buzzy Beetle. By pressing the switch, the Munchers turn to coins, which the player can use the beetle to collect. By heading out one of the two Warp Pipes available in the area, the player is taken to the aforementioned alternate route.

The lower area contains several Frozen Coins and Munchers, as well as a [[Thwomp]] near the beginning and [[Dry Bones]]. At the very end of it is a pipe leading to a fight with two [[Boom Boom]]s.

#The Advance Coin is at the bottom center of the Frozen Coins.

*Wendy O. Koopa is the Koopaling featured on the card's key art; coincidentally, in the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' episode "[[Fire Sale]]", Wendy, or rather, Kootie Pie, played a prominent role, and the episode featured an ice fortress like in Ice Cubed.
