'''Topi''' ({{ja|トッピー|Toppī}}, ''Toppi'') is a common enemy from the {{uv|Ice Climber}} universe.


'''Topi''' is a common enemy from the [[Ice Climber (universe)|Ice Climber]] universe that appear in Stage 10 of [[Adventure Mode]]. They also can come out of [[container item]]s in other modes.
==Origin==
Topis appeared as enemies in ''{{b|Ice Climber|game}}.'' They would appear from either side of the stage and will try to prevent the Ice Climbers from scaling the mountain by pushing blocks of ice into the holes the duo created on the stage; furthermore, they could send the Ice Climbers falling down the stage if they ran into them. They could be defeated, but would respawn after some time.


==History==
Topis had different appearances between the Japanese release of ''Ice Climber'' and the international release. In the international releases, Topis are small bipedal creatures that resemble small {{s|wikipedia|yeti}}s and their whole body is covered in white fur. They have small legs and small arms that help them move around, with their mouths somewhat resembling beaks. In Japan, Topis instead appeared as blue seals; the change in appearance is assumed to be due to the controversy surrounding [[wikipedia:Seal_hunting|seal clubbing]] in the Western world. However, this yeti-like appearance has been carried over to Japan with ''VS. Ice Climber'', an altered version released for arcades, and its Japan-only {{s|mariowiki|Family Computer Disk System}} port.
Topis are small bipedal creatures that are about the size of [[Jigglypuff]]. They resemble small yetis and their whole body contains white fur. They have small legs and small arms that help them move around. The mouth of the Topis resembles a beak. Topis appeared as enemies originally in the game ''[[Ice Climber (game)|Ice Climber]].'' They would appear from either side of the stage and will try to prevent the Ice Climbers from scaling the mountain. The Topis in ''Ice Climber'' could be stunned but they would appear later unharmed. The Topis sometimes will push around a block of ice on the surface to repair the broken blocks that the Ice Climbers destroyed.


==Topi in the ''Super Smash Brothers'' games==
The blocks of ice Topis pushed in ''Ice Climber'' are used for the [[Ice Climbers]]' [[Ice Shot]].
Topi make their debut in ''Super Smash Brothers Melee''. Topis act as enemies and obstacles on the stages. Topis walk back and forth on the arena. Any character who makes contact with Topi will take damage. The damage the Topis cause varies on the difficulty the characters are using. On higher difficulties the Topis will cause more damage. The Topis have two different kind of movements. Most of the time Topis will walk normally on a stage. The Topis also have the ability to glide on a stage. Topis move at a faster pace when they glide. Characters will have a harder time to dodge Topis that are gliding. Topis sometimes can be seen with [[Freezie]]s in stage 10 of Adventure Mode. They will also contain trophies when they are KO at rare times.  


They can be picked up by using the [[Z button]] and  can be thrown at other characters to cause damage. The character who is hit by a Topi will take about 30% damage and has the possibily of dying at low percentages. Topis will also disappear permanantly once they are thrown. Another strategy is to throw a character at a wandering Topi. Characters that are thrown at Topis will take the same amount of damage as if they made contact with a Topi normally. Topis can also be used as traps when they enter an enclosed area.

Characters will be awarded '''200 points''' for every Topi they KO.
==Overview==
In ''Melee'', they can come out of [[container item]]s.


==Version difference==
Like ''Ice Climber'' itself, Topis have differing appearances between the Japanese release of ''Melee'' and its later, international releases. In the original Japanese release, they resemble the blue seals of the Japanese version of ''Ice Climber'', but they are instead the white, yeti-like creatures in international versions. The two versions function identically, and uniquely, the blue seals do not appear in the North American version even when the language is set to Japanese. The change was presumably due to controversy over seal hunting, though it is also possible that the change was merely to preserve the continuity of the Topis' appearances between regions.
The original version of [[Melee]] contained a seal form of Topi. The first trailers of Melee displayed the seal version of Topi. Since the American version of the game ''Ice Climber'' used the yeti version of Topi, then that version was included into the American version of Melee. The seal version Topi does not appear in the American version of Melee at all; nor does the seal trophy of [[Topi (trophy)|Topi]] appear in Melee.

Topi (トッピー, Toppi) is a common enemy from the Ice Climber universe.

Origin[edit]

Topis appeared as enemies in Ice Climber. They would appear from either side of the stage and will try to prevent the Ice Climbers from scaling the mountain by pushing blocks of ice into the holes the duo created on the stage; furthermore, they could send the Ice Climbers falling down the stage if they ran into them. They could be defeated, but would respawn after some time.

Topis had different appearances between the Japanese release of Ice Climber and the international release. In the international releases, Topis are small bipedal creatures that resemble small yetis and their whole body is covered in white fur. They have small legs and small arms that help them move around, with their mouths somewhat resembling beaks. In Japan, Topis instead appeared as blue seals; the change in appearance is assumed to be due to the controversy surrounding seal clubbing in the Western world. However, this yeti-like appearance has been carried over to Japan with VS. Ice Climber, an altered version released for arcades, and its Japan-only Family Computer Disk System port.

The blocks of ice Topis pushed in Ice Climber are used for the Ice Climbers' Ice Shot.

Overview[edit]

In Melee, they can come out of container items.

Like Ice Climber itself, Topis have differing appearances between the Japanese release of Melee and its later, international releases. In the original Japanese release, they resemble the blue seals of the Japanese version of Ice Climber, but they are instead the white, yeti-like creatures in international versions. The two versions function identically, and uniquely, the blue seals do not appear in the North American version even when the language is set to Japanese. The change was presumably due to controversy over seal hunting, though it is also possible that the change was merely to preserve the continuity of the Topis' appearances between regions.

As an enemy[edit]

A Topi in Melee.

Topi made their debut in Super Smash Bros. Melee, acting as enemies in Stage 10: Icicle Mountain in the game's Adventure Mode. Any character who makes contact with them will take damage and knockback. Topis also have the ability to slide across platforms, making them move at a faster pace. On Icicle Mountain, they are often spotted with Freezies, despite the item not coming from the Ice Climber universe. Characters are awarded 200 points for every Topi they KO.
