This process repeats until no more openings on their layer of ice exist. To do this, a Topi scouts out an opening in the floor, runs back to its cave, and reemerges pushing an icicle to fill in two blocks. Topis have the ability to fill in holes in the floor with ice. Topis come in two varieties: the blue seal featured in the Japanese Famicom Ice Climber release, and the short yeti seen in Western versions and VS. At the top of the peak, the Condor flies overhead.Įnemies encountered on the way up the mountains include the Topi, Nitpicker, and White Bear. Collecting just one piece of corn from the fifth bonus stage is the only way to gain an extra life. The peak is also the only place to recover stolen vegetables, most notably eggplants. Within a 40 second time limit and no enemies, the Ice Climbers often face trickier jumps and multiple moving platforms. Finally, many mountains include unbreakable moving platforms resembling clouds. Hatched ice acts as a conveyor belt sliding the Eskimo either left or right. Square ice blocks with higher detail are indestructible, forcing the player to take another path. Standard, dull ice blocks pose no threat other than an easily disposed of barrier and platform. Each mountain level consists of eight layers of colorful ice and a bonus stage. The only tool they carry is a wooden mallet to carve openings in the ice above and to club enemies. The first player controls Popo, a boy wearing a blue Eskimo parka, while the second player controls Nana, a girl wearing a pink Eskimo parka. In some European countries, the NES console was sold bundled with the game, increasing Ice Climber's familiarity outside Japan. ![]() In Ice Climber, the characters Popo and Nana, collectively known as the Ice Climbers, venture up 32 ice-covered mountains to recover stolen vegetables from a giant condor.
