A Freezie (フリーザー, furīzā) is an Item in both Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Origin

A Freezie as it originally appeared in Mario Bros.

The Freezie is an enemy in the Mario Bros. arcade game and all of its subsequent remakes. It appears in later levels to complicate the terrain. It moves along the platforms and then eventually covers one of them in ice, destroying itself in the process. This makes the platform extremely slippery for players. If Mario makes contact with a Freezie, he loses a life. The only way to destroy it is to jump into the platform below it. In Melee and Brawl, freezies do not make surfaces icy, but can be thrown at opponents to make them frozen.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

When a Freezie appears in SSBM, it slides across the stage on its own, speeding up if it encounters a slope. When picked up and thrown, any character hit by the Freezie will be frozen and knocked upwards. Freezies can break if attacked before being picked up. Freezies could easily KO a character at respectable percentages, as well as keeping characters trapped long enough to take a lot of damage.

SSBM trophy description

Freezies slip and slide along smooth surfaces and will happily slide off the edge of a stage if left alone. In Mario Bros., they would stop and freeze portions of the ground; in Super Smash Bros. Melee, they can be picked up and hurled as weapons. Hit a foe with a Freezie, and he or she will be temporarily encased in a huge block of ice.

• Game: Mario Bros. (Arcade 1983)

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

The Freezie item in SSBB retains the same design and method of use from its Melee counterpart. However, their knockback and freeze time have been considerably reduced, and frozen characters fall much slower, making it harder to KO with.

SSBB trophy description

An item that freezes people. If you're frozen, you can't lift a finger to defend yourself. You can break out of ice by shaking the Control Stick back and forth. Hit someone with a Freezie, and you'll hear delightful sound declaring your success, but frozen enemies don't fly very far. Freezies tend to break easily when carried.

• Super Mario Advance (2001)

Trivia

• When attacked in SSBM, the Freezie would break immediately, while in Brawl, it takes several hits. When broken with a direct hit in Brawl, such as a punch or kick, it will deal a small amount of damage to the character breaking it.
