History[edit ]

Super Mario Bros. 3[edit ]

Ice Land is accessed after completing Sky Land. It is the largest world in the game, with ten levels, three Hammer Brothers, three fortresses, three Spade Panels, two Toad's 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). Ice Land is also the only world 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.

The map in the Game Boy Advance version shows that World 6 is north of World 8 and east of World 7. Additionally, said version alters the path to the second Toad's House so that it can be accessed at the fork after World 6-4 instead of through World 6-5 only.

Ice Land has the following levels:

The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3[edit ]

In The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 , Ice Land, though never referred to as such, only appears in the episode "Life's Ruff" (which is the only episode where this world is shown as the title card), where it has a different ruler named King Windbag. He bullies his servants and never says "please", but when Hip and Hop arrive, they steal his wand and turn him and Luigi into dogs and harass them for a short time, but are eventually defeated and returned to Dark Land. The castle is depicted with igloos around it.
