Freezie: Difference between revisions

A '''Freezie''' (alternatively spelled '''Freezy'''),<ref>{{cite|author=Stratton, Bryan|title=''Super Mario Advance'' Prima's Official Strategy Guide|page=91|date=June 7, 2001|isbn=0-7615-3633-7|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' instruction booklet|page=39|date=2003|publisher=Nintendo of America|author=Nintendo|language=en-us}}</ref> originally known as a '''Slipice''' and also known as an '''icicle'''<ref name=MB_NPA>{{cite|title=''[[nwiki:Nintendo Power Advance|Nintendo Power Advance]]'' Volume 1|page=40|date=Spring 2001|language=en-us|publisher=[[Nintendo Power]]}}</ref> or '''ice''',<ref>English instruction manual for the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, and ZX Spectrum ports of ''Mario Bros.''</ref>{{page needed}} is an enemy made entirely of ice that first appeared in the arcade game ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' Freezies (alternatively pluralized '''Freezys''')<ref>{{cite|author=Arnold, J.

Occasionally, Freezies are used as items to freeze enemies.

In the original ''Mario Bros.'', Freezies emerge from pipes and travel along the [[floor (Mario Bros.)|floor]]s, just like other enemies. They first appear in Phase 9 (Phase 10 in Japan). When a Freezie reaches the center of a platform, it coats the entire platform with ice, destroying itself in the process. A frozen platform is very slippery, meaning that [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] should eliminate these enemies quickly. It can freeze the central floating platform and the two lower platforms above the bottom pipes. If all three platforms are frozen, no more Freezies appear for that phase. Hitting a Freezie from below destroys it and awards the player five hundred points. Freezies do not count as regular enemies, meaning Mario and Luigi do not have to clear them from the stage to complete the level. If Mario or Luigi touch a Freezie, they lose a life; unlike most enemies, Freezies only reverse direction if they bump into another enemy, which is the only way they can reach and freeze the upper platforms.

In ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', large, stationary Freezies (also referred to as '''Icelings''')<ref>{{cite|author=Hodgson, David S.|title=''Mario Kart: Double Dash'' PRIMA's Official Strategy Guide|page=31|date=November 25, 2003|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=0-7615-4424-0}}</ref> are located on the ice lake at the end of the racetrack [[Sherbet Land (GCN)|Sherbet Land]]. If a character drives into a Freezie, their kart becomes frozen in a block of ice for a few seconds. After being hit (by kart or item), a Freezie slides along the ground until it hits a wall and shatters. However, a sliding Freezie can still freeze any karts that it runs into. In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Freezies retain their role as hazards in the [[classic course]] {{classic|GCN|Sherbet Land}}, where they no longer freeze drivers when driven into and break upon being hit. Additionally, they seem to retain their original appearance from ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]''

Freezies return in ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]'' as obstacles, where they freeze racers upon contact like in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''.<ref>{{cite|author=Nintendo|date=September 3, 2020|url=youtu.be/f2mCqUSDCJE|title=Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=September 3, 2020}}</ref>
