User blog:The Boy From Nowhere/Ice Climbers Calculation

So, I've been wondering what level the Ice Climbers might be. As we know, in their first game, the Ice Climbers fight many enemies. However, there is one enemy in particular I want to look at. The polar bear is one of the most infamous enemies fro  this game, and for good reason. If the player takes too long, the polar bear will come out of the sides of the stage, and stomp, causing the mountain the Ice Climbers are climbers to fall straight down. Considering the Ice Climbers can one-shot this polar bear, would this make them mountain? Well, not quite.

So, I have some screenshots of the full first level of Ice Climber. This level is by far the heaviest, and has the most ice inside. It's kinda tough to calc the height of the Ice Climbers. We could use Smash Brothers, but heights and weights are not canon in the game (as shown by Mewtwo weighing virtually nothing, and Olimar being tiny, but being much bigger in order to fit). Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut...I have literally no other way of calcing their height, so we'll just have to use it...When compared to Ness, the Ice Climbers are about the same height. So compared to the mountain, the Ice Climbers take up about 1/2 of every section of the mountain (the parts counting from 1-8). The bonus stage would be bit harder to do, where I literally have to stack Popo's on top of each other in order to tell. So, calcing in the height of an average 13 year old,  when compared to the mountain...

'Annnnnnnnd that's where I'm gonna have to cut it for now. I just have to finish calcing in the bonus stage, and also finish calcing the mountain.'
