Master the Frosty Cosmic Mario Race in Freezeflame Galaxy! Learn expert tips for skating, boosting, and beating Cosmic Mario to the Power Star in Super Mario 3D All-Stars.

Alright, so you've made it to Freezeflame Galaxy and it's time for a race! This is the Frosty Cosmic Mario Race, and it's all about speed and precision on those slippery ice platforms.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    As soon as you step onto the ice, Cosmic Mario will appear and challenge you to a race. Your goal is to reach the Power Star at the end of the icy pathway before he does.
  2. 2
    Remember the Hot and Cold Collide level? These ice platforms are in the same spots, and gravity will flip as you reach the end of each section. Keep this in mind as you navigate.
  3. 3
    When you race Cosmic Mario, you're pretty much on equal footing in terms of speed and agility. This means you've got to be smart about how you move. The key here is to skip tiles when you can and maintain momentum.
  4. 4
    The fastest way to travel on ice is by skating. To start skating, use your spin attack (usually by pressing 'Y' or 'X' depending on your controller setup).
  5. 5
    To get little bursts of speed while skating, press the Y button again. This is super important because you can't afford to lose any time in this race. Make sure you use this technique, especially during the long stretches of platforms.
  6. 6
    Warning: While skating and boosting gives you speed, Mario can become a little harder to control. Be extra careful not to fall off the edge, especially on those longer sections.
  7. 7
    By the time you're on the third path of platforms, you should be ahead of Cosmic Mario. Just focus on not falling off as you skate towards the finish.
  8. 8
    You'll see the Power Star waiting at the end. All you need to do is touch it before Cosmic Mario does! Don't be afraid to make a leap of faith if it looks like you can cut a corner or reach it faster. Sometimes a risky jump is exactly what you need.
Tips
  • Master the spin attack and the boost! It's the only way to consistently beat Cosmic Mario.
  • Pay close attention to the platform layout and where gravity flips.
  • Don't get too cocky even if you're ahead – one wrong move and you'll lose a life.
  • If you happen to jump on Cosmic Mario during the race, you'll get some Star Bits! A small consolation if you mess up, but a nice bonus if you're doing well.
