Frosted Glacier: Difference between revisions

'''Frosted Glacier''' is the snowy fourth world of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', lying northeast of [[Layer-Cake Desert]], [[Sparkling Waters]], and [[Acorn Plains]], north of [[Soda Jungle]], northwest of [[Rock-Candy Mines]] and [[Meringue Clouds]], and west of [[Peach's Castle (world)|Peach's Castle]]. The world's name is a pun on {{wp|Icing (food)|frosting}}, which covers baked goods, and {{wp|Frost|frost}}, which covers icy surfaces. Frosted Glacier is a cold and snowy world with pine trees and indigo mountains. This makes the world similar to [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''; however, Frosted Glacier takes place during a constellation-filled night, and the ''{{wp|Aurora|aurora borealis}}'' can be seen in the background of the overworld and some stages. Like in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', the music for the snow overworld levels is a winter-themed arrangement of the regular overworld theme in the game. Frosted Glacier is one of two worlds that the player can choose from after beating Morton in [[Morton's Compactor Castle]] ([[Morton's Lava-Block Castle]] in ''New Super Luigi U''), with the other being [[Sparkling Waters]]. Because of this, it is possible to play through the game without ever reaching Frosted Glacier. There are nine levels in this world; five of them are the regular levels, two are the [[Tower]] and [[Castle]] levels, one is a [[Ghost House]], and one is a secret level. The Tower boss is [[Boom Boom]] with a [[jump]]ing ability and the Castle boss of this world is [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]]. The [[Bubble Baby Yoshi]] makes their appearance on the map, and there are [[Cooligan]] [[Enemy Course]]s present.
