Ice blocks first appear in [[World 4-1 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 4-1]] of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They act as slippery platforms. In this game, they are also [[Semisolid Platform|semisolid]], which is a feature that did not appear in later games.

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).

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.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' (Nintendo Switch)===
In the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] of ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', Ice Blocks first appear in [[Slippery Summit]]. Like most appearance, they affect Mario's traction, although they also affect [[Shy Guy]]s. They are differentiated from semisolid iced floors.
[[File:MarioVsDKSwitch6-1_1.jpg|thumb|right|Various Ice Blocks in the first level of [[Slippery Summit]]]]
In the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Reissue|remake]] of ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'', Ice Blocks appear alongside semisolid variants as part of various terrain in [[Slippery Summit]] and its corresponding [[Slippery Summit Plus|plus world]]. A slippery traction is applied to players and [[Mini-Mario]]s as they walk over ice blocks, and [[Shy Guy]]s appear to walk with slippery traction on top of them. Thrown objects can continuously slide across ice blocks before hitting a wall and stopping.
 
If a player jumps while on an Ice Block, they will perform a spinning animation similar to when jumping off icy terrain in 3D games like ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. The player can also duck while sliding across Ice Blocks, allowing them to slide underneath small gaps. Slippery traction can be cancelled by performing a [[Handstand]], but the player will still gain slippery traction if performing a Handstand Walk.
