This works even should there be only one Ice Climber in battle. Instead of belaying each other, the Ice Climbers use a bungee chord to tether to a ledge should they be close enough. The leading Ice Climber jumps off the follower's head, propelling them further upwards but more than likely KOing their partner. The lead Ice Climber throws the other Ice Climber upwards, who then pulls the other Ice Climber forwards. The hammers deal massive damage and knockback, however. The hammers are swung extremely slowly, and the Ice Climbers do not move forwards when used.
The Ice Climbers travel forwards slightly less. The hammers deal less damage, but it freezes opponents and the hammers are swung slightly faster. The Ice Climbers travel forwards slightly more. The hammers do not deal any damage, but instead push away those near the Ice Climbers. The Ice Climbers spin around each other with their hammers outstretched, travelling a short distance forwards. The shot does not travel as far, and explodes on contact. The shot is smaller and travels much faster, but it deals very little damage but some knockback. The shot is larger and travels slower, but can travel through multiple opponents. Ice Climber.īoth of the Ice Climbers fire small stalagmite of ice that travels a short distance across the ground. series, the Ice Climbers only appeared in Ice Climber, its re-releases and the multiplayer-based Vs. The game relied on co-operation between the two Ice Climbers, as the goal of a level was to reach the summit of the mountain, avoiding the various creatures that aim to hinder their progress. Popo was controlled by player one, while Nana by player two. Popo (in blue) and Nana (in pink) are the two playable characters from Ice Climber.
However, during Melee's development, it was said that Sakurai wanted them to be lovers.Īlso in the melee intro you can clearly see the climbers gazing into each other's eyes and a heart is formed as a visual manifestation of their live for each other.The lead Ice Climber's running speed is increased when the other Ice Climber is defeated. Relationship-wise, several fans believed them to be siblings, or even spouses, despite their young appearance, but according to Nintendo, the nature of their relationship is up to the player's imagination. I understand that it can be hard to just overlook that you are essntially calling Nana "Popo" and for all those out there who want to remain technical I challenge you by bringing up the relationship between the Ice Climbers. Additionally, "Popo" and "Nana" are easier to use and flow better in articles than "leader climber", "partner climber", and the like. While technically some palette swaps have Nana as the leader and Popo as the partner, Popo/Nana is the default leader/partner configuration, and in the competitive community the leader climber is referred to as Popo with the partner being called Nana regardless of costume. When referring to the individual Ice Climbers, use Popo to refer to the leader Climber, and use Nana to refer to the partner Climber.Even just describing situations, referring to the lead climber as a single name makes things much simpler. When people are commentating matches, it can be misleading to viewers when the lead climber is referred to as both "Popo" and "Nana".
