A solo Ice Climber can still grab a ledge though if they are close enough to it.īlizzard: Facing away from each other both Ice Climbers will blow out a fiercely cold icy wind from their mouths dealing repeated damage to opponents standing too close to them and potentially even freezing them. If there is only one Ice Climber around then that Ice Climber will still make that initial throw motion and hop a short distance in the air but the rest of the attack will fail. Both Ice Climbers become helpless in the air after this move has been used. If there is a ledge nearby the Ice Climbers will home in on the ledge and attach to it. The thrown Ice Climber will quickly tug on the rope once they've reached their max distance and pull the leader Ice Climber up above them slightly. This move is a tad slower and goes a shorter distance if only one Ice Climber is present.īelay: The lead Ice Climber (Popo by default) will throw their partner forwards above them with a rope tied between them. Also great as a recovery move in the air as the Ice Climbers can gain some real distance and even propel themselves upwards a tad. The player can control the Ice Climbers with the control stick to move them left and right as this attack is being used. Squall Hammer: Popo and Nana will spin around each other as they hold their hammers out to hit opponents unfortunate enough to be in their way. If one Ice Climber has been KO'd then the remaining Ice Climber will only fire one ice block. If used in the air the Ice Climbers will gain a slight boost in the air but they can only use the move once before they have to return to the ground. The ice slide across the stage and can bounce off walls before hitting an opponent or melting away on their own. Ice Shot: Swinging their hammers along the ground, Popo and Nana will each create a small block of ice that they'll propel forwards with their hammer. When Popo goes left, Nana will go right making it look like she is just popping out from him. Nana will stand behind Popo and together the two of them will each tilt their heads and bodies left or right but going in the opposite direction of each other.Standing next to each other, the Ice Climbers will jump up and down five times in celebration of their victory.Standing next to each other, the Ice Climbers will each nod to the other and give themselves a high five.Side Taunt: Both pointing their hammers diagonally forwards, the Ice Climbers will both shout, “Yup!” as wind blows behind them. Up Taunt: The Ice Climbers will set their hammers down onto the ground and start jumping up and down in celebration as if they already won the match.ĭown Taunt: Hammers in hand, the Ice Climbers will dance together in a circle. Kirby will wear Popo's blue parka around his body. The Condor will fly in and carry the two Ice Climbers down onto the stage. All we know is that Popo wears blue, Nana wears pink, and that together they scale Icicle Mountain to retrieve their stolen vegetables! Are they siblings? Lovers? Cousins? Nobody really knows for sure. An ice climbing duo, the nature of Popo and Nana's relationship has remained unclear to this day.
