6 SUPER MARIO MAKER - EVENT: POPO & NANA'S CLIMBING CHALLENGE

Dear Readers,

Today, for the first time I'll talk about an Event Course. This one's about Ice Climber. In the list, this entry has some nice retro artwork where Nana is about to club a seal, while the polar bear looks on in horror. I wonder if CensordGaming on YouTube knows about this!

Anyway, I like the idea of the Ice Climbers being in Super Mario Maker because they're platforming characters and they have a similar jumping sound effect. Their game was even released before Super Mario Bros. was.

So yeah, this level starts with a little introduction to the Ice Climber costume. The jumping sound effect is there and it makes it clear that the Ice Climbers are all about breaking the blocks above. It just makes me go "Yup! This is what they're all about alright!". Lots of blocks to break and coin blocks to punch too.

It's kind of strange but I do feel a bit like I'm playing Ice Climber, only not with such a vertical jump. The next couple of sections have those mountain block breaking designs that you'd find in Ice Climber. It's a nice tribute! It plays the condor grab music when you finish too, so that's pretty nice!
