Ice Flower

File:Ice Flower.png

The Ice Flower is a different form of a Fire Flower. When obtained in Super Mario Galaxy, Mario can turn into Ice Mario and can skate on water by creating ice pads. To create one, just simply totch the water. If there is a little water fountain, then hop on it to create a platform which you can use to get up ledges. This item does not comeback in Super Mario Galaxy 2. In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, it is used similarly to the Fire Flower but shoots ice balls instead of fireballs. Unlike the fireballs, the ice balls can bounce only once. When the ice balls hit an enemy, they turn it into an icy platform which you can hop on. But after a while, the block of ice will break and the enemy will be freed. You can also pick up the ice block and throw it to defeat enemies. The ice flower does not freeze bosses.
