1 | * DifficultySpike: When you put aside having to get the hang of the stiff jumping mechanics, the first few mountains aren't so bad. However, around mountain 8 or so, they get increasingly puzzle-like with walls blocking off certain areas, and the clouds, conveyor belts and Nitpickers pick up speed. |
2 | * EnsembleDarkhorse: The polar bear enemies are the most memorable, thanks to their casual wear (pink shorts and black shades). |
3 | * IAmNotShazam: The game is "Ice Climber", the ''characters'' are the "Ice Climbers", and even then they have their own names (Popo and Nana). |
4 | * IconicCharacterForgottenTitle: The Ice Climbers are definitely more famous and notable for their appearances as playable fighters in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series rather than their own game, to the point that the latter's title is often misremembered as ''Ice Climbers''. |
5 | * ScrappyMechanic: Many fans feel that the jumping mechanics were the main reason why this game never spun out into a franchise like many of Nintendo's other NES-era titles, and was largely forgotten about until ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' came along. |
6 | * SoOkayItsAverage: One of the more forgettable NES games, but nowhere near bad. |
