| The '''Ice Climbers''', named '''Ice Climber'''<!--not a typo, as there are no singular/plural differences in Japanese--> in Japan, are a pair consisting of a little boy named '''Popo''' and a little girl named '''Nana''', who originate from a [[NES]] game called ''[[nwiki:Ice Climber|Ice Climber]]''. Though they've only had one single game of their own, aside from ''[[Wikipedia:Nintendo VS. System|VS. Ice Climber]]'', they've made frequent crossover appearances in other [[Nintendo]] games, including ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', ''[[Tetris DS]]'', a mention in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'', and another appearance in ''[[NES Remix]]''. Both Ice Climbers are playable fighters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''.

| {{main|SmashWiki:Ice Climbers (SSBM)}}
| |
| The Ice Climbers appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', as one of the new characters. On top of being new, they were also default. The two are unique, as they fight as a team, but act as two separate characters. Thus, they act as a literal 2-in-1 player. For instance, if the player chooses to play as them, the player will get to control Popo, while Nana is controlled by the computer.
| |
|
| |
|
| They can be very hard to avoid, as they are a team, but if Nana is defeated first, the other is easier to fight. If Popo is defeated first, it will count as a defeat for both, even if Nana wasn't actually defeated. Their attacks are not incredibly powerful, but they can use two attacks at once, as well as use two items at once, and hold and throw two people at once. However, their reach is very short, making their grab game difficult to master.
| |
|
| |
| Both Popo and Nana are voiced by Sanae Kobayashi.

| |
| The Ice Climbers return to the series in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', with an updated appearance, retaining their moveset and gameplay mechanics from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. Their appearance now adds detailed fur to their parkas. Their Hammers also have a more detailed appearance, actually showing the wood rings on their hammers. The Ice Climber stage in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' is called [[Summit]], which matches the Ice Climber style completely. The fish from ''Balloon Fight'' can be found on this stage. Their battle entrance features them holding on to a Condor, with them jumping off to land on the stage. Their Final Smash is Iceberg, in which they create a large iceberg in the middle of the stage.

| =====The Subspace Emissary=====
| |
| [[File:SubspaceIntro-IceClimbers.png|thumb|right|The Ice Climbers' snapshot in The Subspace Emissary.]]
| |
| The Ice Climbers were first seen climbing up [[the Glacial Peak]], completely oblivious to the shootout between the [[Great Fox]] and the [[Halberd|Battleship Halberd]]. However, they do see [[Meta Knight]] climbing past them, trying to get to the Halberd. The Ice Climbers see this as a challenge, and race him to the top, managing to reach it first. However, they discover the Aura [[Pokémon]] [[Lucario]] up there, who challenges Meta Knight. Popo and Nana could only watch. Just after the battle, the Halberd rams the Great Fox into the mountain. While Meta Knight and Lucario take this chance to get inside the Halberd, the Ice Climbers fall into [[the Canyon]], where they find themselves with [[Marth]], [[Lucas]], the [[Pokémon Trainer]], and [[Ike]]. The [[Subspace Army]] attacks them all, but they are saved by [[Mario]], [[Link]], [[Yoshi]], [[Kirby]], and [[Pit]]. The Ice Climbers eventually go to [[Subspace (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|Subspace]] with all of the heroes, where they all get turned into trophies by [[Tabuu]]. Fortunately, Kirby is then revived by a badge created by [[King Dedede]], so he saves Popo and Nana along with some other characters. The entire team then goes after Tabuu.
| |
|
| |
| ====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''====
| |
| The Ice Climbers do not return as playable characters in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', making them the only playable characters in the entire series that have been playable in more than one game to be cut. The director of the games, [[Masahiro Sakurai]], has stated this is because they were unable to run smoothly on the 3DS version of the game. Instead, they appear as a trophy in both versions of the game; the trophy is a random unlockable in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS''; to unlock the trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', the player has to KO his/her rival four times in a single Rival Smash match.
| |
|
| |
| Despite Sakurai mentioning that the Ice Climbers were running perfectly in the Wii U version, they were not kept in since Sakurai has stated he wanted both versions to share a consistent roster. Icicle Mountain's theme from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and Ice Climbers's theme from ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' returns in the Wii U version as alternate themes for the ''Wrecking Crew'' stage, despite the characters removed.
| |
|
| |
| On a side note, the Polar Bears from their series appear as enemies in the 3DS-exclusive game mode, [[Smash Run]].

Back in their glory days, they chased eggplants, cucumbers, and other vegetables that inexplicably fell from frosty summits when a [[condor]] reigned supreme. They're rarely seen apart.''

The Ice Shot fires mini-glaciers out of their hammers, while Squall Hammer is at its strongest when Nana and Popo combine their strength.''

Belay allows them to cover great distances, but doesn't give foes the chance to target their landing. Blizzard is best used in close quarters; in the fray, Nana and Popo will sometimes freeze opponents.''

| |
| *'''[[Solid Snake|Snake]]''': So those two are the Ice Climbers, huh?
| |
| *'''[[Radio conversation characters#Mei Ling|Mei Ling]]''': Snake, have you ever heard of a "blood bond"?
| |
| *'''Snake''': Sure.
| |
| *'''Mei Ling''': It refers to a bond between two people that's so strong they'd die for each other. The Ice Climbers have conquered frozen glaciers and dangerous mountaintops together. I think they've formed a bond that we can't even fathom.
| |
| *'''Snake''': I dunno. Seems to me they'd get in each other's way fighting to see who gets to the top first.
| |
| *'''Mei Ling''': Snake, in China they say, "Though brothers may quarrel at home, outside they defend each other from slight."
| |
| *'''Snake''': Is that really a Chinese proverb?
| |
| *'''Mei Ling''': Even though they may get in each other's way occasionally, they'll pull together in times of need. They're an inseparable team, Snake. Don't underestimate them!

When you get to the top, you can collect veg and grab on to the condor to get bonus points! Nice!''

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the Ice Climbers, being that they wear cleats, have regular traction on ice; unlike other characters, they do not slip and can travel across frosty landscapes with ease.
| |
| *In the German version, Popo has been renamed "Pepe", because in German "''Popo''" means "buttocks".
| |
| **Although in Spanish "Popo" (accented on the second O) means "poop", Popo still has his name.
| |
| *The Ice Climbers' Chinese name literally translates to "Snowman Brothers", despite the fact that Nana is female.
