In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and [[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3|its remake]], ice blocks appear commonly throughout [[Ice Land]], where they mostly make up the level structure in its airborne levels. Like in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', they act as slippery platforms; these ice blocks can be normal (the size of a [[Brick Block|brick]]) or giant-sized (two times bigger, like [[Mega Block|Big Block]]s).

A third type of Ice Block, also referred to as a [[White Block]], also appears throughout Ice Land. Unlike the other types, these resemble white or light blue bricks, aren't slippery, and can be picked up and thrown.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', there are five types of Ice Blocks: Ice Blocks that consist of enemies frozen by an [[Ice Flower]] or other ice projectile, Ice Blocks that can be picked up and thrown at enemies in [[World 3-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3-4]], [[World 3-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3-5]], [[World 6-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-1]], [[World 9-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-5]], and {{world-link|coin|5|World Coin-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}} similarly to [[Grab Block]]s (they cannot hurt players, unlike [[barrel]]s), frozen-over [[Snake Block]]s called [[Ice Snake Block]]s that only appear in {{world-link|3|castle|World 3-Castle (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)}}, giant Ice Blocks (in the same level mentioned) that can only be destroyed using [[Bob-omb]]s, and Ice Blocks that only appear in [[World 9-7 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 9-7]], which, as in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', can contain coins and Munchers and can be melted with fireballs from a [[Fire Flower]] or enemy.
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', there are six types of Ice Blocks: standard Ice Blocks that act as slippery platforms and cannot be picked up or destroyed, Ice Blocks that consist of enemies frozen by an [[Ice Flower]] or other ice projectile, Ice Blocks that can be picked up and thrown at enemies in [[World 3-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3-4]], [[World 3-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 3-5]], [[World 6-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-1]], [[World 9-5 (New Super Mario Bros.

In ''[[Donkey Kong (Game Boy)|Donkey Kong]]'' for [[Game Boy]], Ice Blocks are present in several [[Iceberg]] stages. They appear as small blocks of ice that are often used as a puzzle element involving [[Faiachū]], which melt them as they walk over them.

In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', they serve as slippery obstacles that cannot be picked up, but can be melted by Yoshi's fire breath after eating a [[fire watermelon|red watermelon]], [[Lava Bubble]], or [[Pyro Guy]]. Some Ice Blocks hide items. In this game, the blocks simply look like a block of ice.

===''Wario Land II''===
Ice Blocks return in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|its remake]], appearing in the levels [[Fluffy Snow, Here We Go!]] and [[Frozen Solid and Chilled]]. Like in previous games, they will melt from the effects of fire from a [[fire watermelon]]. [[Flooff]]s can also melt Ice Blocks.
[[File:WL2 GlassBlock.png|thumb|Wario, preparing to throw an ice block at a D.D.]]
Ice blocks are rare objects that can be found in ''[[Wario Land II]]''. They appear as small translucent blocks, and are very fragile. Ice blocks can be picked up and used as a throwing weapon to defeat or stun enemies or to break [[Enemy Block]]s. If the ice block falls to the ground or is attacked, it shatters. However, the ice block will respawn if the player walks away from it and then returns.
 
They are first encountered in a level called [[Defeat Four Ducks!]]. It is deployed in various rooms throughout [[Syrup Castle]] and can be used to progress through the fortress. The player needs to use the ice blocks to knock down one of the four [[D.D.]]s from an unreachable location, and to smash through a staple of Enemy Blocks.
 
Objects with similar properties, small [[barrel]]s, can be found in ''[[Wario Land 3]]''.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' (Nintendo Switch)===
In the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[reissue|remake]] of ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', Ice Blocks first appear in [[Slippery Summit]]. Like most appearances, they affect Mario's traction, although they also affect [[Shy Guy]]s. They are differentiated from semisolid iced floors.
