The Mahogany Gym cannot be challenged the first time the player arrives in Mahogany Town, as a man is blocking the Gym's door. He will only leave once Team Rocket has been defeated at their headquarters and the red Gyarados at the nearby Lake of Rage has been calmed.

In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the maze has been completely changed with several rooms where the player must slide into correct cubes of ice from correct directions in order to navigate across the rooms. After defeating Pryce, he will award the player with the Glacier Badge and TM07 (Hail).
Trainers with a telephone symbol by their names will give their Pokégear number to the player, and may call or be called for a rematch with higher-level Pokémon.

The Mahogany Gym has appeared in one episode of the anime.
Ash battled Pryce for the Glacier Badge in Nice Pryce, Baby!. Using his Pikachu and Cyndaquil, Ash was determined to bring down Pryce and earn his seventh Badge. After successfully defeating Pryce's Dewgong, Ash then had to face off against his Piloswine. It wasn't easy, mostly due to Piloswine's ability to use Rest. Just when things looked bad for Ash, Pryce conceded, saying that he didn't want his Piloswine, who he had only reunited with the previous day, to be injured. Although Ash won by default, he was still happy to get his Badge.
Pryce's battlefield is entirely made of ice, except for a small pool of water in the center of it. He used this to his advantage when battling with his Dewgong. Outside, all of Pryce's other Pokémon rest when he's not using them in battle. In fact, when Team Rocket tried to steal them, they all attacked using various Ice moves.
