Peach Ice Garden
Peach Ice Garden is a baseball field in Mario Super Sluggers. This stadium is an ice rink with Freezies, which act as stage hazards. The players do not slip or slide on the ice. It is located in the Baseball Kingdom and belongs to Princess Peach.
This locale is the home stadium for the Peach Monarchs team.
Peach Ice Garden also appears in the intro. A Red Toad is seen running to catch the flying ball, but he sees that he is about to run into a Freezie. He bumps into it and turns frozen solid. Blue Toad slides the ice and bumps into the Freezie and Red Toad at the same time, thawing him.
Description[edit]
The Peach Ice Garden is located on the left side of the Baseball Kingdom, an island in the middle of tropical waters. It is connected to the island by a bridge. The tune that plays for the stadium is an arrangement of Inside the Castle Walls from Super Mario 64.
On both sides of the rink are two huge Mushroom towers. Star-shaped decorations adorn the stadium, a garland is strung atop the walls, and blue tapestry is mounted on the walls. In addition, there are stained-glass windows similar to the fresco at Princess Peach's Castle. Towards the back of the field is a huge golden stage with a massive blue screen showing a depiction of Peach’s Castle. Behind home plate are two flights of stairs covered with red carpeting. The two stairwells meet at a huge golden statue of Princess Peach and a window overlooking the garden outside. The spectators are all Toads who watch from elevated seating sections.
At nighttime the stadium appears dark blue and is illuminated by bright neon lights, and shining Gold snowflakes shaped like stars are spread across it. The chandeliers and the statue of Peach appear silver during the nighttime, too.
The stadium's mini-game is called Wall Ball. The concept of the game is very similar to Mario Superstar Baseball's version, with a few changes to fit the new game.
The Garden[edit]
Elegant shrubs, wooden arches covered with roses, and many types of flowers are located on grounds outside the rink. Cobblestone paths cut through the garden; and the garden is enclosed by white pillars and heart-shaped fences. Toadsworth runs the shop on the west side of the garden. In front of the entrance is a huge statue of Peach.
Hazards[edit]
Touching one of the Freezies will freeze players for a short time, however they can be smashed to pieces with enough force. At nighttime, if the ball touches one of the star-shaped snowflakes hanging from the ceiling, the stadium will turn pitch black and the spotlights will only shine on the players. Shortly after, a spotlight will shine on the ball and after a short period of time, the room will be back to normal.
