Nitpickers are featured as minor impediments in the episode "The Lost City of Kongoland" of ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'', where they resemble vultures. They are depicted with long tubular beaks, tapering heads, and bulging eyes, as well as straight and focused looks. In the show, Nitpickers are summoned after [[Simon Belmont]] blows into a flute from [[Dr. Light|Dr. Wright]] while he and the rest of the N Team are cruising down a river in Kongoland. Their beaks are said to be poisonous, and Kevin warns his crew to take cover. The birds immediately show and try to raid the team's vessel, but as they swoop down, Princess Lana draws a bazooka and counter-attacks them with large cork projectiles. | Nitpickers are featured as minor impediments in the episode "The Lost City of Kongoland" of ''[[Captain N: The Game Master]]'', where they resemble vultures.

In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', one Nitpicker has to be avoided by Donkey Kong Jr. as he climbs two ropes in the second difficulty of the [[Donkey Kong Jr. (microgame)|Donkey Kong Jr.]] microgame. It flies on a straight line from left to right, across the ropes. | In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', one Nitpicker has to be avoided by Donkey Kong Jr. as he climbs two ropes in the second difficulty of the [[Donkey Kong Jr. (microgame)|Donkey Kong Jr.]] microgame.

In ''{{wp|Ice Climber}}'', Nitpickers<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/clv/manuals/en/pdf/CLV-P-NAAUE.pdf ''Ice Climber'' instruction booklet], page 5.</ref> are red and one of the main enemies in the game. They can fly between levels on each mountain, unlike other enemies that are locked to one level. A single hammer hit defeats them. In ''VS. Ice Climber'', they reappear along with similar-acting (but more aggressive) spear-wielding bee enemies. | |||
This depiction of Nitpicker is absent from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', unlike other ''Ice Climber'' enemies. However, make some appearances in ''Ice Climber''-themed microgames in the ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' series. | |||
