There’ll be more OILD fun tomorrow! But what game will be featured? Will it be an old classic, or some new blood? Check back tomorrow and see for yourself! Ice Climber Obligatory Ice Level Day OILD Smash Bros. And let me just say that the Ice Climber sections of NES Remix were nothing to sneeze at!Īnd now, music! Here’s the original theme to Ice Climber! And here’s the theme to Icicle Mountain, the Ice Climbers’ Melee stage! And the theme to The Summit, the Brawl stage!Īnd for a remix? Why not try out Snow Cone Heaven, an Ice Climber remix by Mazedude! They even had their own stages, and their Brawl stage, The Summit, was featured in the very first OILD collection I posted onto TSG! Snippets of this game were also featured in NES Remix, where you were expected to perform various feats within a time limit. Melee, as representatives of “old school” gaming. On February 6-7, 2015, he won the second to last World Cup climbing stage in Champagny-en-Vanoise (French Alps). In Ice Climber, the player controls one of two children in Eskimo parkas and wielding huge mallets (the game can be played solo with the blue Ice Climber, Popo, seen only onscreen, or cooperatively, where the other, pink Ice Climber, Nana, is controlled by the second player simultaneously), and the challenge is to scale vertical stages, titled mountains, to recover the Ice Climbers' stolen vegetables from a giant condor that flies around at the top of each mountain. Speaking of food, there were also a ton of fruits strewn about this oddly multi-colored glacier, which you could grab for points! The duo were later introduced as fighters in Smash Bros. A truly versatile climber, Hee Yong Park is a new member of Team Petzl.

The biggest obstacles were the dangerous polar bears, the ice-shuffling Topis, and Popo and Nana’s inability to properly jump horizontally. That makes sense, right? The object of the game was to guide either of the two climbers (Popo was a guy in blue, Nana was a girl in pink) to the top of the mountain and grab onto an albatross flying above the stage. Yes, even those green and orange blocks are ice. So for those of you who don’t know, this game really is just one giant ice level. That’s why today we honor those missing heroes with today’s level: ICE CLIMBER!Īh, Ice Climber. But sadly, an old character–or should I say a pair of characters–from Melee and Brawl couldn’t return in this installment.

We were recently blessed with the release of Smash Bros. Other obstacles include falling icicles and of course the hover cloud, which will help you on up the stage with good timing skills. Hello again! It’s Day 2 of Obligatory Ice Level Day! You might say to yourself “wait… Day 2 of… the day… what?” And the answer to that is, “who cares?! It’s fun!” If I say a day can last over a week, then it shall be done! Anyway, today’s ice level is a whole game.
