Ice for the most part, forces you to change the way you play the game by decreasing acceleration/deceleration and turning. This makes you have to think ahead and attempt to keep your momentum.

Because of this, I think its a really good mechanic when done right (like in mario games). I haven't played all the games in the OP but I have never played an ice level thinking "gee, this ice really makes this level worse"...

just my opinion on the matter.

I personally think the worst gameplay mechanic is automatically regenerating health. Okay, thats a bit of a lie...Regenerating health can be good in a certain type of game, the problem is that most FPS games just seem to follow the trend instead of thinking "does this actually make my game better or would another system be superior?".
