Make it either a roguelike or a Metroidvania. I feel like either of those two genres would work well for it.

I guess KI:U wasn't actually a reboot though, but a sequel. Guess I should have said they should revive the series like they did with Kid Icarus.

They should put them back into the new smash to see whether there's interest or not first.

Metroidvania

Backtracking wouldn't really make sense for the Ice Climbers. It needs to be linear with few branches, like picking between shorter but harder paths to strike a balance between casual friendliness and challenge for speedrunners

Sonic style would be neat. Itd be like Knuckles Chaotics

Yeah you're right. So roguelike perhaps? The goal would be getting to the top of the mountain still, but the path there would be different each time.

Ice Climber wasn't a good game even back when it came out. It would've remained forever obscure if they didn't add them to Melee.

Uprising was incredible because of Sakurai, not because the IP itself had a massive lore or established battle mechanics to work off of.

ice climbers isn't particularly a good game.

but if I were going to reboot it, I'd make it this kind of co-op split joycons game where you have to cooperate with your partner to climb various mountains with different difficulties and time trials and gimmicky boss fights.

Ice Climber should be the subject of a gritty Hollywood movie adaptation.

Yeah that's probably the Ice Climbers game Nintendo would be more likely to make.
