Hopping between ice-covered platforms allows Nana and Popo to ascend a mountain while dodging various enemies and obstacles. This Famicom Disk System port follows the arcade version's logic, requiring players to reach the top before the timer expires to reclaim stolen vegetables. A two-player mode enables cooperative climbing through the ascending stages.
