Ice Climber is a vertical scrolling Platform Game originally released by Nintendo in 1985 for the Famicom in Japan, and was later converted into an arcade title in the "Vs." series (as with many early Famicom/NES titles). It was released in North America a year later as a launch title for the NES. Vs. Ice Climber was ported to the Famicom Disk System in 1988.Players control characters dressed in stereotypical eskimo gear: player one is the blue-clad Popo, while player two is the pink-clad Nana. The general goal of each level is to climb up several layers of ice to reach the top of a mountain. Each player carries a wooden mallet which they use to hit enemies, club openings in the levels, and collect power-ups. Like eggplants... Just roll with it.Enemies include sunglasses-wearing Polar Bears, Topis (depicted as seals in Japan and yetis anywhere where seal clubbing isn't considered politically correct), the bird-like Nitpickers, falling icicles, and the condor at the top of each mountain.The game would likely be largely forgotten without the huge boost of publicity generated when Nana and Popo were unexpected inclusions in Super Smash Bros. series, starting with the second game.Other media to reference Ice Climber includes the WarioWare series (where it is the basis of several micro-games) and later iterations of the Kirby series (where Kirby's ice power-up gives him a parka exactly the same as Popo's). They also tend to appear in fan-works related to Smash such as There Will Be Brawl.Oh, and to be clear, while the game's title is the singular "Ice Climber", the characters are referred to as the plural "Ice Climbers", commonly mistaken for the actual title of the game, even by Nintendo press releases. | |

Jump Physics | |
| Ice Climber (Video Game) / int_44f79734 | comment |
Jump Physics: Besides the Hitbox Dissonance, the Ice Climber can't control their direction of jumping so well once they're in the air. It's tricky, but you can also harm Nitpickers this way by having their mallets hit them as they jump. | |
