Ice Climber is a 1985 NES platformer developed and published by Nintendo. Players control Popo and Nana, two mountaineers armed with mallets, as they ascend a series of icy mountain peaks. The goal is to break through layers of ice, avoid enemies like polar bears and birds, and reach the summit of each level. The game features cooperative two-player gameplay, where both players must work together to climb while dealing with moving platforms and hazards. Ice Climber is known for its unique vertical-scrolling gameplay and precise jumping mechanics, which can be challenging to master. Though it had a mixed reception upon release, the game remains a classic NES title and helped establish Popo and Nana as recurring Nintendo characters.
