In games with two gamers, each gamer receives his or her own score for defeating opponents and recovering vegetables. Bonus stages in "Ice Climber" consist entirely of recovering vegetables. Gamers must also search for stolen vegetables, which provide bonus points and, ultimately, extra lives. The ice climbers must smash through the ice blocks on each platform to move their climber up the mountain. Gamers work on the same screen using the hammers wielded by Nana and Popo to attack enemies and clear ice blocks so that they can climb upward. Each player controls one of the two ice climbers with his or her own NES controller. It was the first game on the NES to enable cooperative play between the characters. Successfully getting to the summit results in a bonus stage where gamers earn points to gain extra lives."Ice Climber" was a revolutionary Nintendo game when it came out.

The darker ice with diagonal lines act as a conveyor belt sliding the Eskimo either to the left or right. Ice blocks that appear more square and detailed are indestructible forcing the player to take another path. Standard, dull ice blocks pose no threat other than an easily disposed of barrier.

Their challenge is to venture up an ice-covered mountain and recover their stolen vegetables from a giant condor.
