VS. Ice Climber
Moby ID: 8544
NES version
Popo and Nana's debut game isn't a very good one
The Good
Interesting premise with climbing up mountains.
The Bad
The jumping controls suck! It doesn't remotely feel like jumping in Super Mario Bros. You can easily fall through the blocks that you want to land on top of which makes the game much more unforgiving. Music during stages is repetitive.
The Bottom Line
I think there's a good reason why the Ice Climbers will be stuck in Super Smash Bros. games as playable characters and not star in their own games anymore.
