While in this form, any water or [[lava]] Mario touches freezes solid in the form of a hexagonal platform (which melts after a period of time if left unoccupied). This allows Mario to walk or [[skate]] across vast distances of water or lava with ease and safety. Ice Mario can also reach higher places by freezing water spouts and also waterfalls while sticking on to them but after sticking to a waterfall, the players starts sliding downwards after a few seconds. This form also makes its user immune to fire attacks, as seen when a [[Magikoopa]] fires a fireball at Ice Mario; it also prevents damage from torches when the player jumps on it. Ice Mario can also safely defeat [[ice bat]]s by spinning and stomping, though this is only possible to see with hacking.<ref>Mayro (July 30, 2017).

A downside of this power-up is that Ice Mario's midair spin is diminished. Ice Mario's midair spin gains almost no height, unlike Mario's regular form. Therefore, Ice Mario cannot jump as high.

Template:Form-infobox Ice Mario is a form that Mario can take upon touching an Ice Flower in Super Mario Galaxy. In this form, Mario's body turns into solid ice with cold air flowing out and gains the ability to skate on water. A vastly different form of the same name appears in New Super Mario Bros. Wii and onwards.

History

While in this form, any water or lava Mario touches freezes solid in the form of a hexagonal platform (which melts after a period of time if left unoccupied). This allows Mario to walk or skate across vast distances of water or lava with ease and safety. Ice Mario can also reach higher places by freezing water spouts and Wall Jumping off of waterfalls. This form also makes its user immune to fire attacks, as seen when a Magikoopa fires a fireball at Ice Mario; it also prevents damage from torches when the player jumps on it. Ice Mario can also safely defeat ice bats by spinning and stomping, though this is only possible to see with hacking.[1] Like Fire Mario, this power-up has a time limit.

A downside of this power-up is that Ice Mario's midair spin is diminished. Ice Mario's midair spin gains almost no height, unlike Mario's regular form. Therefore, Ice Mario cannot jump as high.

This power-up is introduced in the Freezeflame Galaxy, but can also be found in the Beach Bowl Galaxy and the Deep Dark Galaxy. Ice Mario is one of two power-ups in the game that was not carried over to its sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, the other being Flying Mario.

Mario Kart Tour

Ice Mario appears as a High-End driver in Mario Kart Tour, introduced as part of the Ice Tour. His special item is the Ice Flower. Ice Mario appears as a variant to Metal Mario due to sharing the same animations as him and lacking irises (although they still can be seen in his artwork, which is reused from Super Mario Galaxy), but has the same voice clips as regular Mario's (albeit with a harsher reverb). Starting with the Hammer Bro Tour, Ice Mario also has his own self-named cup.

  • Trading card description: A CHILLY kind of flower power, Ice Mario is a form that Mario can take when he grabs an Ice Flower. When he powers up to this transformation, he can walk on any body of water or lava by freezing the liquid in hexagonal platforms and simply walking across.

  • Mario Kart Tour Twitter: "Ice Mario is almost as shiny as he is slippery. Just watch out for his Ice Flower! It's a special item that can send opponents sliding forward by freezing their controls for a short time."[2]

Trivia

Mario on the Hot and Cold Planet in the Shiverburn Galaxy.
Ice platforms based on Ice Mario/Luigi's in Super Mario Galaxy 2
  • The music played during the duration of this power up in Super Mario Galaxy closely resembles the music played for Fire Mario, but is played in A minor.
  • Although the form does not appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2, an updated version of its theme is present on the disc. There is code that can spawn the Ice Flower though a model for it does not appear in the game. Attempting to collect said Ice Flower results in the game crashing. The ice platforms Ice Mario/Luigi creates are still used in the Shiverburn Galaxy.[3]
  • In Mario Golf: World Tour, when using the Ice Flower in item shots, the ball creates ice platforms each time it bounces on the water or terrain, similar to Ice Mario/Luigi's.
