Ice Climber

Ice Climber is a 1985 platform video game developed and published by Nintendo. It was released for both the arcade VS. System and the Famicom/Nintendo Entertainment System console. The main protagonists, Popo and Nana, collectively known as the Ice Climbers, scale 32 vertically scrolling, ice-covered mountains to recover stolen vegetables from a giant condor. In some European countries, Ice Climber was bundled with the Nintendo Entertainment System. The arcade expansion, VS. Ice Climber, features exclusive content from the traditional NES release; including an animated title screen, a stage select menu at the start of the game and between levels, 16 more mountains, occasional blizzard and wind effects, more enemies and vegetables, and bonus multiplier items. Popo and Nana are playable characters in the Super Smash Bros. series, starting with the 2001 game, Super Smash Bros. Melee for the GameCube. Nintendo released the NES variation for the Game Boy Advance through the Nintendo e-Reader in 2002.
