Popo and Nana are iconic Nintendo characters perfect for couples or best friends.
Their cozy parkas and giant mallets make for a warm, recognizable look.
This guide covers everything you need for both the blue and pink climbers.
Whether you choose Popo or Nana, the assembly process is largely the same.
Complete Costume Breakdown
Clothing & Core Pieces
The core of the look is undoubtedly the oversized parka.
Choose a blue parka for Popo or a pink one for Nana.
If you cannot find a parka, a heavy hooded sweater works great too.
The key is getting that puffy, insulated silhouette right.
Pair the top with matching colored leggings or pants.
Comfort is key here since you will be bundled up heavily.
Ensure your pants are flexible enough for climbing poses.
Accessories & Details
Essential to the look is the white fur trim on the hood.
Use faux fur and fabric glue to attach a thick rim to your hood.
This detail instantly sells the arctic explorer vibe.
Don’t forget the matching snow boots in blue or pink.
The most important prop is the giant wooden mallet.
You can buy a toy mallet or craft one from foam and wood.
Make sure the mallet is lightweight enough to carry all day.
Cosplay Tips
This costume can get very warm, very fast.
Wear light layers underneath if attending a crowded convention.
Coordinate with a partner to complete the iconic duo.
Practice your synchronized jumps for photos.
Use safety pins for the fur if you don’t want to glue it permanently.
Check your boot treads if you plan on walking outside in winter.
Character Vibe & Styling Notes
Keep your energy high, cheerful, and cooperative.
Popo and Nana are always working together and helping each other up.
Poses should be dynamic, like swinging hammers or high-fiving.
A little bit of blush on the cheeks adds a cute frostbitten effect.
Carry a fake vegetable prop for a deep-cut reference.
Final Thoughts
This is a fantastic beginner-friendly build that involves minimal sewing.
It is visually striking and instantly recognizable to Smash Bros fans.
Have a blast climbing to the top of the leaderboards!
