ThePolar Bear (ホワイトベア,White Bear) is anenemy from theIce Climber universe.
Origin[edit]
Polar Bears originally made an appearance in theIce Climber game for theNintendo Entertainment System. Polar Bears would appear as an enemy on the mountain that the Ice Climbers were scaling. If an Ice Climber was taking too long to climb up a level of a mountain, one would appear and will stomp on the ice to move up one level, making an Ice Climber lose a life if one was at the lowest possible level.
InSuper Smash Bros. Melee[edit]
Polar Bears serve as anenemy in the game'sAdventure Mode. In Stage 10: Icicle Mountain, Polar Bears can sometimes be seen in the first part of the stage. They walk back and forth on the various platforms, and sometimes jump in order to force the screen to scroll up. They despawn when theIce Climbers appear.
It is possible to pick up the enemy with a grab, then throw them at opponents; because of the Polar Bear's high weight, it can effectivelyone-hit KO opponents when smash thrown.
By KOing a Polar Bear in either regular matches or the Adventure Mode, the player is awarded the Polar Bear KObonus, which is worth 800 points, the most for an enemy. The bonus also stacks if the player defeats more than one.
Trophy[edit]
Polar Bear's trophy can be obtained randomly after playing 200 VS matches.
- Polar Bear
- This bizarre beast appears whenever the Ice Climbers take five during their ascents. Each leap the upright bear makes causes an earthquake and makes the mountain scroll upward. If the climbers fall off the bottom of the screen, they'll drop into a bottomless chasm. For reasons unknown, it sports pink shorts and sunglasses.

InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
A Polar Bear appears as a background character on the stageSummit. When the stage has slid down the mountain and into the water, a Polar Bear will drop down from the sky and send the stage lower into the water. From there, it will begin walking in the background, akin to its appearance fromIce Climber, and sometimes stopping to jump and send the stage even lower into the water.
The Polar Bear stays in the background when the stage regrows. However, it will be blown off the stage when it breaks off again, though it will still respawn when the stage ends up in the water again.
InSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS[edit]
InSmash Run[edit]
The Polar Bear appears as an uncommon enemy. Like inMelee, it regularly walks forward on the platforms, and it sometimes stops to jump in place, dealing significant damage when it lands. It has high HP and a resistance to grabs, but it is weak toflame attacks which even make it flinch. Owing to its above average strength it drops more power-ups than regular enemies.
One Polar Bear appears in one of the hard variants of theSurvive! challenge alongside other enemies. It is also a possible target enemy during aWanted! event and will drop three to four 200 stat powerups if defeated.
Trophy[edit]
- Polar Bear
This free-spirited polar bear usually just wanders around aimlessly, but sometimes he likes to shake things up a bit. Literally! He'll jump in the air and then land hard, causing a huge earthquake that makes the whole screen shake and does damage to anyone on the ground. He's not keen on heat, though, so hit him with fire attacks!
