The leading Ice Climber throws the following Ice Climber upwards. There is plenty of knockback in the last smack, especially if both Ice Climbers are present and together on the move. The Ice Climber(s) spin around each other, moving left of right depending on the directional input. There are two glaciers shot only if both Climbers are present, and only one if one of them are present. These glaciers are pulled down by gravity, making them better options for hitting opponents below rather than in the air. The Ice Climber(s) creates a mini-glacier and smacks it away as a projectile with their hammers. She doesn't have as many cameos as Popo, however, she is seen with him most of the time. She is always Player 2 and is nearly identical in terms of appearance to Popo except for the fact that she wears a pink Parka and pink boot straps, and has longer hair in the her appearances in the Super Smash Bros. Lastly, he wears white boots with spiked wooden soles attached by a blue boot strap. He has brown hair and gloves & usually wields a wooden mallet. He has a pale face with pink cheeks and long black eyes that are almost always depicted with a white shine.

He is always Player 1 and has made a few stand-alone appearances (mainly as cameos and in single-player gameplay of Ice Climber). Popo is the male Ice Climber who wears a blue parka. Assuming that their race is present in the real world, however, they are seen wearing parkas and live in a cold country with large icebergs, which can leads to the assumption that the Ice Climbers are of the Inuit race of Greenland, Alaska, and Canada. The nationality of the Ice Climbers is unknown and may not be one present in the real world. Without her, the Belay Move won't be effective, and a properly executed Squall Hammer will be the only recovery option after a double-jump. Also, with both characters, specials will do twice the damage. Though if the follower is defeated first, then the leader may continue to fight by his or herself, albeit with a distinct disadvantage. If the front character is defeated, then the follower will automatically lose. Melee, the leader of the two will always be Popo, but by changing costumes, Nana will appear to be leading as Popo will be in the back. franchise (in other words, the only tandem fighter). They are unique for being the first character that consists of two people in the Super Smash Bros. Popo also has cameos in some microgames in the WarioWare series. They, later on, appear as playable characters in the Super Smash Bros. They make their debut appearance in Ice Climber as the protagonists. The Ice Climbers are a pair of mountain climbers consisting of Popo (Blue) and Nana (Pink).
