Ice Climbers Not In Super Smash Bros. For 3DS/Wii U

The Ice Climbers were removed from Super Smash Bros. on 3DS and Wii U due to the development team being unable to get the duo to run properly on 3DS. According to lead developer Masahiro Sakurai, the team had the Ice Climbers running on the Wii U version of the game, but were unable to find the same results on the 3DS, due to the handheld's hardware limitations.
