Topi

Topis are short creatures that normally inhabit arctic climates. They first appear in VS. Ice Climber as enemies of the Ice Climbers. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, they are enemies of the Icicle Mountain stage in Adventure.

In the Japanese version of Super Smash Bros. Melee, Topis are blue seals rather than the round yetis with white fur coats. The reason for this change is based on the original enemy's appearance in home conversions of Ice Climber; while VS. Ice Climber and its Disk System port use the yeti design, the Famicom, PC-88 and Sharp X1 versions use the seal design. However, the NES version uses the yeti design from VS. Ice Climber. As a result, the design change is generally treated as a regional difference.
