Hack description

Pipe Plumber

This is a hack of Ice Climber for the NES. The original 4 player hack was made by Mishra with the Mario graphics added by Nesdraug.

_______________________________________________________________________________________

Play as Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi to rid the sewers of Brooklyn of pests.

Players 1 and 3 (Mario and Luigi) are collecting points for team ML.
Players 2 and 4 (Wario and Waluigi) are collecting points for team WW.

Each player has his own life. The logic of making lives has been changed: now life is given not for corn at level 5, but for every 50,000 points, and if a team mate is dead, life is given to him.

Sprites blink because of hardware limitations. It works on real hardware with both the adapter for Famicom and the four-score. Intro with a bird skipped.

You can choose number of lives on the title screen (left/right arrows).

Jumps are now controllable.

Mix MB graphics and Ice Climber gameplay? Miyamoto is probably foaming at the mouth right now, wondering why it didn't occur to him before. And now seriously, pretty well done job bro. Everything fits correctly, and although we don't talk about a "AAA" hack (in terms of complexity), it brings freshness and an opportunity to players, old and new, to try this great classic.
