'''Icicle Mountain''' ({{ja|アイシクルマウンテン|Aishikuru Maunten}}, ''Icicle Mountain'') is a [[stage]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.  

In [[Adventure Mode]], the mountain path is dominated by [[Freezie]]-pushing [[Topi]]s and [[Polar Bear]]s that force the stage to "jump" upward when they hop. Players can jump along the top of the stage to force their way higher to quickly face-off against the Ice Climber team, or climb still higher to reach the two-platform summit.

In [[All-Star]] mode, this stage is played on when the player faces the Ice Climbers and any of their teammates.

==Stage overview==
Unveiled at [[E3]] 2001, Icicle Mountain is a stage that constantly moves up or down (mostly up), therefore making it a sidescroller. It moves infinitely up/down, although the speed varies. It has platforms that are flat as well as diagonal. There are ice blocks that can be destroyed with one hit, both large and small ones. Many sections of platforms are [[slippery]] as they are made of ice. There are also platforms that drop if one stands on them for too long. If playing as {{SSBM|Pikachu}} or {{SSBM|Pichu}}, one should be aware that {{b|Thunder|Pokémon}} is completely useless, due to the fact that floors are constantly generated, permanently blocking the move.

==Origin==
[[File:IceClimberNES.png|thumb|left|170px|The fourth level in ''Ice Climber'' featuring two icicles.]]
This stage is loosely based on the NES game ''{{b|Ice Climber|game}}'', in which the goal is to try to get to the top of the level by jumping through blocks while dodging obstacles, such as falling icicles, and enemies. If the Ice Climbers get hit by an enemy or a falling icicle, they lose a life. If the Ice Climbers take too long to complete a level, a [[Polar Bear]] appears and jumps to make the screen scroll up, causing them to lose a life if forced offscreen. In this stage, destructible blocks and icicles appear; however, the icicles do not fall nor damage fighters. The stage scrolling up the mountain is also similar to Polar Bears causing the screen to scroll up. {{clr}}

==Tournament legality==
Icicle Mountain is universally banned at tournaments, primarily because its focus for players is to survive rather than actually fight. Additionally, it heavily favours characters with superior jumping prowess. The upper and horizontal [[blast line]]s are close to the stage, allowing for some very early [[KO]]s, and there are impassable platforms throughout the stage that can block a potential KO. The frequent blocking of the lower blast line also undermines [[spike]]s and [[meteor smash]]es, as well as minimizing [[edge guard]]ing skills.

==Trivia==
*Any [[Artificial Intelligence|AI]] character tends to [[SD]] easily when the stage starts scrolling quickly upwards. This is because the AI will ascend only one platform at a time, frequently leading to them not moving quickly enough to escape the lower blast line.
*Icicle Mountain, along with {{SSBM|Mushroom Kingdom}}, {{SSBM|Mute City}}, and [[Poké Floats]], are the only stages not to reappear outside of ''Melee'', with [[Flat Zone]] being represented by [[Flat Zone X]].
