[UNDER HEAVY REVISION] Super Smash Bros Ultimate Headcanons

Fighter #15 - Ice Climbers

- These two are Ski Ball champions. Their secret? Instead of using their hands to throw the ball, they whack it with their hammers. It's strange, but somehow it works.

- To help save on air conditioning, these two will use their icy moves to keep the mansion cool during the summer.

- These two are the reason that there is now a playground on Smash Mansion grounds.

- Nana and Popo always help each other reach high places. Who needs a ladder or step stool when they've got each other?

- When winter arrives, these two could not be more excited. They absolutely love sledding, eagerly building small snow hills outside to slide down. They've even gone indoor sledding numerous times, going down stairwells instead of hills. It's honestly a miracle that neither of them have suffered serious injuries.

- If it's snowing outside, they'll hold snowflake-catching competitions, in which whoever catches the most snowflakes on their tongue within three minutes wins. The current champion is Yoshi, whose record is 32 snowflakes.

- Nana has a small crush on Ike, which causes Popo to become protective of her whenever he's nearby.

- As soon as December 1st comes around, these two immediately start decking the halls of the mansion with Christmas decorations. They have a whole checklist of Christmas-related things that they do each day to keep holiday cheer flowing throughout the month.

- Back in Smash 4, they were kicked out for illegal teaming. Master Hand declared that it was unfair for the two of them to be fighting as a pair, as it technically gave them an advantage. He gave them the option to fight separately and keep their spots on the roster, but the siblings refused to be apart. When Ultimate came around, the fighters felt it wasn't the same without them and begged Master Hand to bring them back.

- Sometimes, Nana and Popo will switch parkas just to mess with the other fighters. Most of the veteran fighters (from 64 to Brawl) can tell who's who at this point, but folks from Smash 4 onwards can't figure it out.

- Pit (and, by extension, Dark Pit) is the only Brawl fighter who can't differentiate between the two. Pit just can't spot any differences between the Ice Climbers and is beginning to think that there are none. Dark Pit, meanwhile, knows deep down that there is a difference between them, but because Pit can't figure it out, he can't either. This makes him extremely frustrated.

- They are the only kids that will willingly eat their vegetables.

- They fight better together. One can't focus on the battle without the other by their side. By themselves, they're anxious and frantic, and matches are significantly tougher. Together, they feel more comfortable against their opponent. Master Hand recognized this and, after doing some thinking, figured that allowing them to fight together would make it fairer on their end. This is what ultimately brought the Ice Climbers back to Smash.

- They're siblings with curious tendencies; of course they've tried the classic "two kids in a trenchcoat" trick to get into places. Popo's usually on top, while Nana gets stuck carrying him. Their disguise is good, but unfortunately for them, they're not very good at acting like adults.

- The cold never bothers them. Nor does the heat, apparently. With Samus' help, they've installed temperature regulators within their parkas. Their parkas make them feel safe and snug, which is why they rarely ever take them off.

- Nana has a little doll that she always keeps with her, tucked safe in her parka pocket.

- Nana has a lot of crayons and markers, which Popo usually ends up stealing. One time, her box of markers went missing, and she caught Popo trying to lick them. When asked why, he said he wanted to taste colors.

- Because their heads are usually covered by their parka hoods, it's easy for them to lose track of how long their hair is getting. Every so often, Bayonetta will give them haircuts.

- Link got Nana and Popo sand seal plushies for their birthday, and they're both in love with them. Nana's sand seal is best friends with her little doll.

- Nana has a big appetite, often ordering meals twice as big as she is.

- These two are twins, but Popo is five minutes older than Nana. Despite this, Nana is slightly more mature (emphasis on slightly).

- They love ice cream and, like Kirby, are immune to brain-freeze.

- Nana likes making rock pets for those she really cares about. Remember Donkey Kong's pet rock Dwayne? That was a gift from Nana. She's currently working on one for Ike, which is taking her a while because she wants it to be perfect.

- These two are best friends with Ness and Lucas. Whenever they're all together, wacky shenanigans are bound to ensue. Throw Kirby into the mix and it gets even more chaotic.

- The Ice Climbers are terrible at high-fiving. They can never get it before the third try. Either they miss completely, or they're slightly off-center and it makes them annoyed.

- Some of the assist trophies really scare them. If they get folks like Mother Brain, Metroid, or Andross, they'll freak out and hug each other.

- These two have run Arcade Bunny's claw machines dry. For whatever reason, Popo is incredibly good at them and has won nearly all of the plushies there. This has become incredibly handy for gift-giving on special occasions.

- Although they love working together, they also have an intense sibling rivalry. Popo's usually the one who starts it, saying things to rile up his sister and make her take up the challenge. No matter where they are or what they're doing, they'll always find a way to make a competition out of something.

- When it comes to cooking, they love helping out! Just tell them what you need them to do, and they'll do it as best as they can!

- The Ice Climbers know a ton of recipes, including one for an amazing vegetable soup.

- When Popo originally met Falco, he thought he was a blue condor and tried to hitch a ride on him.

- Their favorite song from the Smash soundtrack is Ice Climbers (Brawl). They love that there are multiple stages to the song, which they feel reflects their similarities and differences as siblings.
