Enemies in this world include rabbits who toss snowballs, piranhas, penguins, and polar bears. The game's FinalBoss is the Abominable Snowman.

* ''VideoGame/{{Bug}}'' has the Burr-ubs. An icy stage, there are surprisingly few slippery areas. Made up for by the annoying snow fleas, and platforming sections over a {{Bottomless Pit|s}}. The boss was an [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti abominable snowbug]].

** Blizzard Peaks in ''[[VideoGame/SonicRushSeries Sonic Rush Adventure]]''.

** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' has two ice levels. The first, Freezeflame Galaxy, is combined with a lava level as a textbook HailfirePeaks, and in its freeze sections, the water is so cold that Mario takes damage when swimming on it. The second, Snow Cap Galaxy, is a mini-stage which only has snow in it. The "Frozen Dessert Area" of Toy Time Galaxy counts as well as Mario has to skate on ice and pole jump on ice cream sticks.

* In ''VideoGame/RugratsCastleCapers'', "Snow Problem" takes place in icy mountains. The boss of this is Angelica, who has taken on the form of a snow queen.

* ''VideoGame/FireAndIce'': The Slippy Slidey Ice World is the very first level in the game. Reason being, the main character defeats his enemies by freezing them and this is easier if the ambient temperature is low. Needless to say, later levels consist of deserts and lava.

* ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxterThePrecursorLegacy'' has Snowy Mountain, which is located at the top of the Volcanic Crater and is accessed via a cableway that travels upward. It features ungodly amounts of snow and ice that make moving rather difficult. A part of it can be seen across a thick ice floor, and because that layer is unbreakable the area in question has to be accessed from an underground tunnel.

* ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxterThePrecursorLegacy'' has Snowy Mountain, which is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, complete with ungodly amounts of snow and ice that make moving rather difficult.

** The fangame ''VideoGame/SonicRoboBlast2'' has the bonus level Frozen Hillside which includes slippy ice pools, easily breakable ice walls and areas with huge quantities of snow where the only exit is a well-placed spring. [[spoiler:It is also the level where you unlock Amy who's waiting for Sonic UnderTheMistletoe.]]

** ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' has ''two'' snow and ice levels. The first, Cool Cool Mountain, insists on the "Slippy-Slidey" part, as you start on the top and where many missions include sliding to the bottom to help inhabitants, and where after jumping into a chimney, at the top, you have a lengthy slope that makes Mario slide to the bottom which also hosts a sliding race against a penguin. The second, Snowman's Land, is the lair of a giant snowman whose blow makes for a huge blizzard, where a tiny igloo [[BiggerOnTheInside hides a giant maze]], and there's also cold water that is harmful upon contact, including a tiny pool where it is as dangerous as '''lava'''. In the DS remake there's also [[AlliterativeName Chief Chilly's Challenge]], the level where Wario is imprisoned: it is a mini-snow land complete with high arctic winds and where the boss progressively destroys his arena like if it was thin ice.

** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'' has the underground tunnel of Sand Kingdom (from which the unusual cold comes from, though Mario manages to revert this), and all of Snow Kingdom (which is also home to a village where the residents love racing). Goombas have sure footing even on the ice which carries over if Mario captures them.

** ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'' has ''two'' -- Cool, Cool Mountain and Snowman's Land. The former includes a lengthy slope that makes Mario slide to the bottom, and also hosts a sliding race against a penguin; the latter's main attraction is a giant snowman whose blow makes for a huge blizzard, and there's also cold water that is harmful upon contact. In the DS remake there's also a mini-snow land complete with high arctic winds. This level's name is [[AlliterativeName Chief Chilly's Challenge]], and it's where Wario is imprisoned.

** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'' has two ice levels - one combined with a lava level as a textbook HailfirePeaks, and the other is a mini-stage which only has snow in it. In the former, the water is so cold that Mario takes damage when swimming on it.
** ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2'' has the Freezy Flake Galaxy, which is the only full 'snow level' in the ''Galaxy'' duology (though a brief part also has lava). There's also Shiverburn Galaxy, which once again mixes the ice setting with LethalLavaLand.

* There's tons in the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' franchise. It's a recurring theme for Sonic to be snowboarding in ice levels, like anyone with 90's 'tude.

* ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'':

** ''Videogame/CrashTeamRacing'' has Blizzard Bluff and Polar Pass. The ''[[VideoGame/CrashTeamRacingNitroFueled Nitro-Fueled]]'' remake also has the Christmas-themed track Gingerbread Joyride (with some LevelAte elements).
** ''Videogame/CrashBandicootTheWrathOfCortex'' has Arctic Antics, featuring narwhals and ski riders as obstacles.

** ''Jazz Jackrabbit 2'' also has an ice level. It's literally a cold day in Hell. Similar to the "Obligatory Water Level," this is lampshaded with a secret sign that says "All Hail The Ice Level."

%%** Slipshod Slopes and Freezing Fields from ''VideoGame/WarioLandShakeIt''.

* In the third game of the ''VideoGame/{{Valis}}'' series, there is a NintendoHard ice level which, at one point, requires you to accurately jump onto a platform, duck to avoid the low ceiling that will push you into a BottomlessPit, and then use a special slide maneuver to get over ''yet another'' BottomlessPit.

* ''VideoGame/{{Bug}}'' has the Burr-ubs. An icy stage, there are surprisingly few slippery areas. Made up for by the annoying snow fleas, and platforming sections over a BottomlessPit. The boss was an [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti abominable snowbug]].

* ''VideoGame/TyTheTasmanianTiger:
** There are two snow levels in the first game: Snow Worries and Beyond the Black Stump. Though the last one has some fire in it, making it more like HailfirePeaks.
