Changes: Ice Climbers

Revision as of 11:02, 19 November 2019

The Ice Climbers are a pair of mountain climbers consisting of Popo (Blue) and Nana (Pink). They make their debut appearance in Ice Climber as the protagonists. They, later on, appear as playable characters in the Super Smash Bros. Series. Popo also makes an appearance in one of the microgames in WarioWare Inc: Mega Microgame$!.

They are unique for being the only character that consists of two people in the Super Smash Bros. franchise. In the Super Smash Bros. games, the leader of the two will always be Popo, but if the right costume is changed, Nana will appear to be leading as Popo will be in the back wearing light blue or white, and Nana will be in front wearing orange or red. This matters because if the leader is defeated first, then the follower will automatically lose. Though if the follower is defeated first, then the leader may continue to fight by his or herself, albeit with a distinct disadvantage. Also, with Nana by your side, your specials will do twice the damage. Without her, the Belay Move won't be effective. If Nana is KO'd, Popo will remain alive, but if Popo is KO'd, Nana will be auto KO'd.

The nationality of the Ice Climbers is unknown, however, they are seen wearing parkas and live in a cold country with large icebergs, which leads to the assumption that the Ice Climbers are of the Inuit race of Greenland, Alaska, and Canada.

Popo

Popo is the male Ice Climber who wears a blue parka. He is always Player 1 and has made a few stand-alone appearances. He has a pale face with pink cheeks and long black eyes with bright white pupils. He has brown hair and gloves & usually wields a wooden mallet. Lastly, he wears brown spiked-sole sandals with blue straps. He is also seen wearing white socks.

Nana

Nana is the female Ice Climber. She is usually Player 2 and is nearly identical in terms of appearance to Popo except for the fact that she wears a pink Parka and pink sandal straps. She hasn't made as many appearances as Popo, however, she is seen with him most of the time. Her relationship with Popo is unknown.

Trivia

They are the only Super Smash Bros. character to appear in more than one game, and then get removed from the next game. This is because they weren't present in Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS or Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U due to hardware limitations on the 3DS. Instead, they appeared as trophies
Popo makes appearances without Nana in WarioWare Inc.: Mega Microgame$, WarioWare: Twisted, and WarioWare: Touched.
The Ice Climbers are one of the first simultaneous co-op characters in Nintendo history.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Ice Climbers were 2nd place in the tier list. Being beaten by only Meta Knight.
