Icicles first appear during Phase 16 (17 in Japan) of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' as obstacles that drop from under the top platforms and pipes, where they would constantly regenerate. They kill the player if they fall upon them; however, icicles can also be deadly if touched while they are still attached to the ceiling. Touching an icicle while it is still a liquid droplet or using the [[POW Block]] will prevent it from being formed, though this will not award any points. However, the POW Block will also cause fully formed icicles to drop prematurely.

Most ports do not include icicles. The few that do are the Japan-only PC-8001 port, the Japan-only ''[[Kaettekita Mario Bros.]]'' on the [[Family Computer Disk System|Famicom Disk System]], the Atari 8-bit port, and the Europe-only "Classic Series" port for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]. They also appear for the [[Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance minigame remake]] found in the [[Super Mario Advance (series)|''Super Mario Advance'' series]] and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.

In ''[[Mario Clash]]'', icicles, known as '''Ices''',<ref>''Mario Clash'' English instruction booklet. Pages 18 and 22.</ref> behave similarly to the original ''Mario Bros.'' game but the upper platforms too high for Mario to touch their droplets. Icicles can be defeated with a [[Green Shell|Turtle Shell]].

In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', [[falling spike]]s take the role of icicles, acting very similarly except they are faster. They appear in [[Slippery Summit]] in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]].

In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', icicles appear in [[BLIZZARD!!!]] and [[The Very Loooooong Cave]] as obstacles. Throwing an egg at them would cause them to fall down from the ceiling.

Icicles are also encountered in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'' in the level [[Slip-Slide Isle]]. They behave like they do in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', in that every icicle that falls becomes a new platform for Yoshi to walk on.

Icicles appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', where they function in the same way as they do in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. In the editor, they can be placed on ceilings. They can be set to remain stationary, or to drop down when approached by the player, damaging them if they are hit by it. Their stationary form is a darker blue. They can be destroyed if they fall on a player with a [[Spiny Shell (red)|Spiny Shell]] on their head or if the player is sliding. They can also be used as platforms, though falling Icicles fall when stood on.

Line 98: Line 92:
Icicles can be encountered in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' in the level [[Icicle Arsenal]]. They are remarkably sharp and long, slightly varying in size. They hang from ceilings and drop down when the [[Kong]]s walk underneath them. Moments before falling, they signal the player with a slight shake. The Kongs lose one heart from their health meter if they get hit by an icicle; similarly, enemies that are hit by icicles are defeated. After coming down and breaking, icicles yield a single [[banana]].
