Ice Levels: The Good, the Bad, the Slippery.

[Princess Niki]

So I was just playing Sonic Lost Worlds and it was the ice levels they were fun but annoying at the same time. Like his spin dash wouldn't work so it would make me move slower was annoying, but the level where he gets turned into a giant snowball rolling around was fun except when he got pushed off the edge by an enemy.

So what are some of your favorite and least favorite experiences with ice levels?

World 6 of Super Mario Bros. 3 is pretty fun once you get the hang of it.

I really can't think of a single instance where I like ice levels or their implementation in relation to a game as a whole. Maybe Mario Odyssey if only because the controls are so good in that game. More often than not though, ice is a pain to deal with, if you ask me.

Best ice experience: ...to be announced? I do kinda like ice block puzzles tbh.

Worst ice experience: the Animal Crossing course in MK8 during winter. The snowmen are so much worse than leaf piles.

EDIT: maybe if we get salty enough over ice levels, the ice will thaw.

Ice block puzzles that aren't top down are objectively evil tbh.

Black Ice Battle in Donkey Kong Country 2 comes to mind here. It is one of my favourite levels in the entire game.
Also I really like the ice cavern in Ocarina of Time. Part of me wishes it was expanded to a full length dungeon.

I do not like ice in most driving games. Zero traction and zero fun.

I'll throw in Icicle Caverns from New Super Mario Bros. U. It's very fun with all the ice sliding and the falling giant icicles.
