After gamers clear all of the mountains, the game goes back to the beginning, restarting the adventure on a new, higher difficulty. The ice climbers advance to a new mountain with more dangerous enemies after climbing each peak. The bonus stages also have time limits, rewarding the gamer for performing the complex jumps and timing his or her ice smashing perfectly. This makes the jumps more challenging and requires players to carefully navigate each level or risk falling to lower levels. If one gamer runs out of lives, the other may continue on his or her own, similar to the solo campaign.Because all the floors are made of ice, Nana and Popo slide around due to their momentum. In games with two gamers, each gamer receives his or her own score for defeating opponents and recovering vegetables. Bonus stages in 'Ice Climber' consist entirely of recovering vegetables. Gamers must also search for stolen vegetables, which provide bonus points and, ultimately, extra lives. The ice climbers must smash through the ice blocks on each platform to move their climber up the mountain. Gamers work on the same screen using the hammers wielded by Nana and Popo to attack enemies and clear ice blocks so that they can climb upward. Each player controls one of the two ice climbers with his or her own NES controller. It was the first game on the NES to enable cooperative play between the characters. Successfully getting to the summit results in a bonus stage where gamers earn points to gain extra lives.'Ice Climber' was a revolutionary Nintendo game when it came out. Players must smash their way through the ice on each level while also recovering stolen vegetables found at the peak. Each level consists of eight layers with a summit. Each enemy has its own pattern and attacks the player in unique ways. Help them attempt to conquer the 32 levels while fighting off enemies such as the yeti, the nitpicker, the polar bear, and the condor. One of the original launch title 'Black Box' games, 'Ice Climber' is a classic video game that features two ice climbers, Popo and Nana.

'Ice Climber' was developed for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985.
