'''Iced Land''' (known as '''Ice Land''' in the original NES version) is the sixth world in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It is the largest world in the game, with ten levels, three [[Hammer Bro.|Hammer Bros.]], three Fortresses and two [[Toad's House]]s. As the name implies, it is a frozen wasteland covered with slippery floors and frozen lakes. [[Lemmy Koopa]] takes over this icy kingdom, by stealing the [[Mushroom Kings|king]]'s magic wand, and turning him into a seal (a [[Monty Mole]] in the game's remakes).

This stage can give the [[player]] trouble with traction, since it's floor is covered in ice. This level introduces [[Ptooie|Ptooies]], both in pipes and walking in the floor. There is a secret area in the first part of the level, that Mario can only access if he's [[Raccoon Mario]] or [[Tanooki Mario]]; It can be found during the encounter with the first walking Ptooie. In order to reach the secret area, the player must race back and forth on the stretch of land, eventually being able to fly up to a platform of wooden blocks; There is a door in these blocks. Inside, they must duck and slide under the large ice blocks to get to a [[P-Switch]]. When the P-Switch is activated, the player must quickly duck and slide out to grab the huge set of blocks-turned-coins below.


If Mario enters the level with the invincibility granted by a [[Starman]], he can hit two blocks during the level, that contains two more stars; Otherwise they'll simply be coin blocks when hit.

In the first part of the level, the player must leap on moving clouds to stay balanced. A [[Question Block|? Block]] withholding a power-up can soon be found. The player must then, with the help of some clouds, jump over a few block towers. Soon, a huge tower of wooden blocks will be in sight. The player must leap on the clouds quickly to avoid being squashed. Afterward, two [[Ice Block]]s lie stacked under a 10-Coin block. Two screens later, a [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] will take the player to the exit.
In ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Ice Land, though never referred to as such, only appeared in the episode "[[Life's Ruff]]" (which is the only episode where this world is shown as the title card), where it had a different ruler named [[King Windbag]]. He bullied his servants and never said "please", but when [[Lemmy Koopa|Hip]] and [[Iggy Koopa|Hop]] came, they stole his wand and turned him and Luigi into dogs and harassed them for a bit, but were eventually defeated and returned to [[Dark Land]]. The castle is depicted with igloos around it.

An icy tundra, referred to as "Ice Land", appears in the first episode of the ''[[Super Mario World (television series)|Super Mario World]]'' television series, "[[Fire Sale]]". Here, it is under the control of [[Wendy O. Koopa|Kootie Pie]], who had stolen [[Mama Fireplant]] to make it warmer. However, Ice Land began to melt because of the heat, and [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], and [[Yoshi]] arrived to save both Mama Fireplant and Ice Land.
The player will once again be in the sky. They can hit the ? Block with a Koopa Shell in the first part of the level. Tiny pits and pillars of ice repeat monotonously like a checkerboard, but the player can run over all gaps without falling. The third [[Koopa Troopa]] in this level is the key to a secret: The player must stomp it, take the shell, and throw it at the nearest block. If done right, the block will expose a [[Beanstalk]], which leads to a secret pipe. Inside, in a [[Giant ? Block]], is a [[Tanooki Suit]] Mario can use to fly up the left side of the room and break all the blocks, leading to a cache of coins. The block all by itself holds ten coins, and the next block holds a 1-Up.

On the moving platform, the player will go up to a room filled hovering with [[Podoboo]]s, and will later go down a corridor full of [[Roto-Disc]]s and a [[Hot Foot]]. The player must go from the left block to the right block to avoid the Roto-Discs, and the Hot Foot that will fall down as soon as the player turns their back on it. The second room has a many Roto-Discs, along with two ? Blocks with power-ups, and when two rows of ? Blocks are spotted, guarded by two Roto-Discs, the one to the farthest left has a [[Starman]]. The player will then encounter [[Boom Boom]].

In this sky level, the first block seen conceals a [[1-Up Mushroom]]. The player must then ride a platform past a ? Block containing a power-up. They then ride it back and jump just to the right of the ice to reveal a red [[Jump Block|♩ Block]] leading to a [[Coin Heaven]]. If the player does not take the Coin Heaven route, they must leap onto tightly winding wooden planks until a P-Switch is stomped. The P-Switch will allow the player to maneuver about the twirling platforms a bit easier, and collect a few more coins. The player needs to watch out for [[Fire Chomp]]s about midway through.

An arrangement of Ice Land's map theme, "Slowly, Slowly", plays in ''[[Mario Party]]'' during the [[Pedal Power]] and [[Ghost Guess]] minigames. A more faithful arrangement plays whenever Mario receives anonymous e-mails in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. The map theme's melody is incorporated in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' into the "Fortress Boss - Super Mario Bros. 3" arrangement alongside the map theme for [[Dark Land]] and the titular Fortress Boss theme.

In this stage, every pipe (except for the [[Venus Fire Trap]]-occupied one) leads to the same place &ndash; a small room with a power-up. If the player repeats continuously, unlimited power-ups are offered. This is necessary to clear the level, as only Raccoon Mario can pass the objectives (and snag a couple secrets into the bargain). The main level is a stretch of land with [[Buster Beetle]]s and Koopas roaming about, with quite a few Ice Blocks and gaps in the ceiling, in which the exit and some bonuses are located. By flying up the second gap in the ceiling, the player accesses a room that has coins blocked off with blocks, which they can break with their tail. The third leads to a small alcove with two rows of blocks. In the higher, leftmost resides a 1-Up. To exit, Raccoon Mario must grab a Koopa and fly up the second gap from the right, then, at the top, let the shell go to defeat the [[Nipper Plant]]s and break away a path to the exit pipe. 400 seconds are given for this level.

As the underground part of this level begins, Mario can take the upper route to find a ? Block with a power-up, and a dead end. The player must backtrack to find the right way, take a Starman from the wooden block, and avoid the enemies until Mario comes across a large pool of water. Once again, the player can take the upper route to find a pocket of air, and an invisible block with a 1-Up one block's width from the right wall. In the upper part, embedded in wooden blocks, two ? Blocks, one with a coin and another with a power-up, are stationed. Mario must then continue on, past [[Cheep-Cheep]]s, Piranha Plants, and [[Spike (enemy)|Spike]] to the exit pipe.

==Trivia==
[[Image:6-7SMAS.png|thumb|left]]
*This is the only world of the game that is possible to go backwards from using a [[Recorder|Magic Whistle]], as using it in the sixth world will allow one to return to the fifth. However, in Worlds 5 and 8, using it can cause one to return to the current world.
If the player collects all 78 coins in this level (a task only [[Fire Mario]] can fulfill) he or she will be rewarded with an [[Anchor]]. The first ? Block has a power-up, and the player must continue on, past a [[Fire Chomp]] and several [[Donut Lift]]s, hitting every ? Block, brick, and gathering all coins along the way, until they reach the exit pipe, which they must fall on a lift to reach. Afterward there lies a huge formation of frozen coins only Fire Mario can thaw. The player must start to throw fireballs at the coins, unfreezing each one. If the player gets all the coins before hitting the Goal Panel, they'll find a White Toad House on the map, containing an Anchor.
*In ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'', the path to the second Toad House is altered so that it is accessible at the fork after World 6-4 instead of only accessible through World 6-5.

This Fortress is made of blocks of ice forcing The player to duck and slide on occasion, as the side-sliding Thwomps skid back and forth. Other enemies in this fortress are [[Boos]] and [[Roto-Disc]]s. All the ? Blocks in the fortress contain power-ups, and there are no secret rooms. The door at the end leads to Boom Boom.

This level has more spring-like weather. There are, however, many Ice Blocks that come in handy to the player; however, they are also handy for the Buster Beetles who use them weapons. When the player comes to a formation shaped like an H, he or she can stand on the right side of the formation and jump to hit a concealed block with a 1-Up. Immediately after a [[Nipper Plant]] encounter, a P-Switch can be discovered under a block that's currently blocked by ice, but the player can pick up the frozen brick and fling it away, then duck and slide under to expose it. Then, Raccoon Mario can fly up to a large mass of coins that used to be blocks. To the right is the Goal Panel.

To quickly complete this level, the player can use a [[P-Wing]] to fly right over the huge pile of ice blocks, on top of which is a 1-Up. If Mario does not have the P-Wing, he must dive deep into the murky depths. Taking the top route after the [[Blooper Nanny]], the player can find a ♩ Block with a power up. After the [[Big Bertha]], the player can take the lower route, leading to a pipe; this pipe takes the player to a room with a block containing three 1-Ups! After coming out, the player must take the top route to get to an area with a lot of Munchers. By a pipe is a block with a P-Switch in it, the player must expose an invisible block on the wall beside it to reach it, though. When stomped, it will turn all the [[Muncher]]s into coins, allowing for safe passage. The pipe above a Venus Fire Trap leads to the exit, and out of the freezing water.
 
==={{world|6|10}}===
[[Image:6-10SMAS.png|thumb|left]]
At the huge tower of bricks, the player must remove the two Ice Blocks under the two standalone bricks, then hit the right brick to grow a Beanstalk. After climbing up, hitting the block to the far left on the ice platform yields a P-Switch. If the player stomps it, several coins are instantly produced and the Munchers will also become coins. If the player has fire power, they can turn the frozen Munchers into more coins and enter a pipe for a [[Hammer Suit]]. Afterward, there are some frozen Munchers and Coins that Fire Mario can access. There are several frozen coins, so Mario can earn quite a few 1-Ups.

This short, but brutal castle has [[Boo]]s and [[Stretch]]es patrolling the icy corridors, and the conveyor belts prove to be strong obstacles as well. In the second part, the player must ward off the Boos until the door comes low enough for them to enter. Once again, the player must battle Boom Boom.

“Be careful in the ice world. The creatures trapped in the ice will come to life if warmed.”
Princess Toadstool, Super Mario Bros. 3

Ice Land[1][2] (alternatively Iced Land,[3] Winter Wonderland,[4] the Ice World,[5] or Ice Country[6]) is the sixth world in Super Mario Bros. 3. It is the largest world in the game, with ten levels, three Hammer Brothers, three fortresses, three Spade Panels, two Toad Houses, and a castle that has been taken over by an airship. As the world's name implies, it is a frozen wasteland covered with slippery floors and frozen lakes, with many structures and platforms made of Ice Blocks in various sizes. Lemmy Koopa takes over this icy kingdom by stealing the royal magic wand and turning the king of Ice Land into a seal (a Monty Mole in the game's remakes). The map in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 shows that Ice Land is north of Dark Land and east of Pipe Land.

If the player meets the requirements for the Treasure Ship, a Hammer Brother will be replaced with that ship.

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Ice Land
Ice Land as it appears in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3.

In The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, Ice Land, though never referred to as such, only appeared in the episode "Life's Ruff" (which is the only episode where this world is shown as the title card), where it had a different ruler named King Windbag. He bullied his servants and never said "please", but when Hip and Hop came, they stole his wand and turned him and Luigi into dogs and harassed them for a bit, but were eventually defeated and returned to Dark Land. The castle is depicted with igloos around it.

Super Mario World television series[edit]

An icy tundra, referred to as "Ice Land", appears in the first episode of the Super Mario World television series, "Fire Sale". Here, it is under the control of Kootie Pie, who had stolen Mama Fireplant to make it warmer. However, Ice Land began to melt because of the heat, and Mario, Luigi, Princess Toadstool, and Yoshi arrived to save both Mama Fireplant and Ice Land.

Trivia[edit]

  • This is the only world of the game that is possible to go backwards from using a Magic Whistle, as using it in the sixth world will allow one to return to the fifth. However, in Worlds 5 and 8, using it can cause one to return to the current world.
  • In Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, the path to the second Toad House is altered so that it is accessible at the fork after World 6-4 instead of only accessible through World 6-5.
