The polar bear has some swag, but other than that, why were these bozos playable in Smash?

Beat every level for my Smash mains. Was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it.

Black Box era games are really important but god are most of them painful to go back to

Pretty fun!! Jumping can be tough, but if you take your time, you're gonna be just fine. It's a game of coordination and it's even better with a second player.

Imagine paying like $40 for this back in the day


Do you like repeatedly breaking blocks that just slow you down and don't add anything? No? Well maybe you'll like the clunky physics and awful ledge detection. Why are the Ice Climbers in Smash Bros? What does Sakurai see in this game?

Probably would have been better in the controls were not so bad. I get it was one of the first games ever, but still. Maybe a remake.

This Might Actually Be In My Top 3 NES Games

The Ice Climber word of the day is "clunk"

This game is super frustrating to play. Jump physics/controls is ass, the music is really soft, and your hammer has very poor range. How the heck did this series get represented in Super Smash Bros again?

I cannot tell you the utter dread I felt finishing level 10 only to look up how many levels there are and realize I was not even halfway. The levels are tedious and repetitive, controls and collision are barely functional, and it just drags on and on.

that polar bear is so cool...

played through Brawl masterpieces, mid

I do not recommend Ice Climber.

It's definitely hella aged but it's actually quite fun still

How did the creators of Mario screw up jumping?

This game might be hold responsible for having invented slippery physics. Enough said

Can be a fun time in short bursts if you’re in the mood for a very simple arcade style platformer. Holy hell though the jumping and the way you ricochet off walls is infuriating. Really makes you appreciate how well Super Mario Bros. or even just Mario Bros. controls. The really awkward movement in this game can make for interesting albeit probably frustrating challenge if you’re in to that sort of thing I guess. Doubt I’ll ever pick this one up again.

Its like the ice stage in mario but thats it. Some Mountains repeat themselfs with little change. Can get boring and the controlls are a little more on the difficult side but you can get your 10mins from this once you get the hang of it.

This game has one music track that plays during all levels and it sounds like complete ass


not picking this up again until I get my NES but its surprisingly fun

I honestly don't get why these bitches are in smash.
Even back in the day I'm sure this shit sucked.

God, the controls aged horribly

The concept of this game is really enjoyable. However, the controls is in the way of this game. The jump momentum is really inconsistent that it can be infuriating. The treadmill are hard to identify between the one that goes to the left and the one to the right (the orientation is only shown by the stripes). The two players mode helps, but can be annoying if one players goes too high

Game # 15 of my challenge
