Hi,

I have never formally ran a game before but I would like to try this one. It's been my profile picture for a while because of Smash Bros, and I thought speedrunning would be a fun approach to the original. I cannot find an autosplitter for Ice Climber so if anyone knows where I can find that, it would be greatly appreciated. Additionally, is an Xbox controller okay? It's my understanding that the D-pad is of lower quality but otherwise it seems to work fine for this game. I do own a couple original NES controllers but I haven't gotten to ordering a USB adapter yet, so my Xbox controller seems like my best bet for now.

Thanks.

Hello existant!

Welcome to the world of speedrunning :) Ice Climber is a fun run, but takes a little getting used to. Tishero has a tutorial for all mountains that is very helpful. As far as splitting, I can't find an autosplitter for Ice climber out there. I would suggest just splitting at the beginning and end of a run to start. You can just set a key on your keyboard to split with or on your controller I believe. Xbox controller is okay. Good luck and have fun!
