Ice Climber (アイスクライマー, Aisu Kuraimā^?) is an platform game originally released for the Family Computer in Japan on January 30, 1985, and for the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America on October 18, 1985 and in Europe on September 1, 1986. An arcade version of the game, VS. Ice Climber, was released earlier in North America in October 1984 which was later released in Japan for the Family Computer Disk System on November 18, 1988.

The first player controls Popo, while the second player controls Nana. The goal is to reach the top of the level by breaking through layers of ice while avoiding various enemies, which can be defeated or stunned with their mallets. After eight layers, each level has a bonus stage where Popo or Nana can collect eggplants for points. At the top of each level is a condor, which Popo or Nana must jump into to complete the level.

Enemies include Topis, Nitpickers, and White Bears. Topis are yeti-like creatures (seals in the Japanese version) that can fill holes with ice, requiring Popo or Nana to break them again. Nitpickers are birds that can fly between layers. The White Bear only appears if Popo or Nana take too long to move up they mountain; the bear pounds the ice to force to screen to scroll up.

Although Ice Climber would be the only game in its series, the Ice Climbers themselves, Popo and Nana, were added as fighters in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and have made reappearances in every sequel, although they were reduced to a trophy role in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U.
