Stage 7 - One has to make the jump over the pillar in order to make it to the cloud first cycle. Stage 6 - Lucky to get a single ice layer on the right side. Grabbing the corn gives you the game's only 1-up. Bad timing jumping onto the level 5 cloud caused me to wait for it one more cycle. Stage 5 - Good start with only one layer of ice. Did cost me a couple of seconds but I didn't feel like resetting. You also must always position yourself before chipping off blocks in order to make it up through a narrow hole. Stage 1 - You always want every level to consist of only one layer of ice throughout the game. Haven't really come across more than one or two speedrunners that run it. In Sweden, Ice Climber was one of the games that came bundled with your console and I guess that it probably got more attention in Sweden than in the Us. It reminded me of how hard I thought the game was when I first got my NEs back in -88. I choose to play this game having seen Badbrakes played it.

The Nitpicker bird shares the name with the birds that plague Donkey Kong Jr. They work in tandem, acting as one character. The Ice Climbers make an appearance in the Super Smash Bros.
At the top there will be a bonus stage which, if failed, will simply lose the chance to earn points rather than dying as is the case with the rest of the mountain.
Players are Eskimos wielding mallets who try to ascend the mountain to the top, getting past obstacles on the way. Ice Climber is an early NES title that can be played with 1 or 2 players, and 2 players can be competitive or somewhat cooperative.
