Super Smash Bros Brawl Ice Climbers

Ice Climbers are one of the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii. Ice Climber was a 1985 platform game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the Ice Climbers are an average duo, as they can deliver powerful hits. However, their defense is very weak. Much like in Super Smash Bros. Melee, the player only controls Popo. Knockouts to the Ice Climbers are recorded every time Popo is knocked out. If Nana is knocked out and Popo isn't, Nana does not return until Popo is knocked out, and no KO is recorded.
