'''Icicle Mountain''' is a [[stage]] in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. Announced at [[E3]] 2001, It is a stage that constantly moves up or down (mostly up), therefore making it a sidescroller. It moves infinitely up/down. 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 too long. It is the home level of Popo and Nana, the [[Ice Climbers]]. Due to its random and battle-unfriendly nature, Icicle Mountain is disliked by most players and rarely used in tournaments.
'''Icicle Mountain''' is the default [[Ice Climbers]] [[Stages|stage]] that first appeared in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]. This stage is unique in the way is doesn't stop moving. As it's name suggests the infinite glacier continuously scrolls upwards at varying paces. The stage either moves up or down in ranging speeds. The stage can change direction and speeds at random. The platforms range from moving pieces of wood to slippery pieces of ice. This stage has a clear blue background with random evergreens in the background.


In [[All-Star]] mode, this stage is played on when the player faces the Ice Climbers and any of their teammates.
==Origins==
The design of Icicle Mountain was heavily influenced by the original Ice Climber game. The game itself was based on the idea of making one's way up the mountain by breaking tiles, riding moving "escalator-like" platforms, and catching clouds as they zipped by while attempting to collect vegetables on the way to the top. These infamous details were removed from Icicle Mountain stage. The only aspects that remain in the level are the moving stage and the bottomless pit.
==The Adventure mode version==
The adventure mode version involves topis and polar bears protruding the area. You would start at the bottom and it would only go up up to the ice climbers beating topis (slide across ice, 18 damage on very hard, normal knockback) and polar bears (jump to make the ice go up, 40 damage on very hard, VERY high knockback). At the top you face a pair of ice climbers. You can play this stage with others using AR but when you get up to the ice climbers, the game freezes. There is another version of this stage in the debug menu called [[Ice Top]] which originally froze the game but now it works. It is the same as the original without music.
