In the original ''Mario Bros.'', Freezies emerge from pipes and travel along the stages' platforms (just like other enemies). They first appear in Stage Nine. When a Freezie reaches the center of a platform, it will coat the entire platform with ice, destroying itself in the process. A frozen platform is very slippery, and it may occasionally drop harmful [[icicle]]s. Thus, it is in Mario and [[Luigi]]'s best interest to eliminate these enemies quickly, before they can freeze a platform. Hitting a Freezie from below destroys it and awards the player five hundred points. Freezies don't count as regular enemies, meaning Mario and Luigi don't have to clear them from the stage to complete the level. If Mario or Luigi touch a Freezie, they will lose a life, but the Freezie will only reverse direction. | In the original ''Mario Bros.'', Freezies emerge from pipes and travel along the stages' platforms (just like other enemies).

A frozen platform is very slippery, and it may occasionally drop harmful [[icicle]]s. Thus, it is in Mario and [[Luigi]]'s best interest to eliminate these enemies quickly, before they can freeze a platform. 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 will appear for that phase. Hitting a Freezie from below destroys it and awards the player five hundred points.

Freezie is the only recurring enemy from ''Mario Bros.'' that has kept its [[NES]] name rather than its original Arcade name. | Freezie is the only recurring enemy from ''Mario Bros.'' that has kept its [[NES]] name rather than its original Arcade name. | ||
