The '''Polar Bear''' ({{ja|ホワイトベア|Howaitobea}}, ''White Bear'') is an [[enemy]] from the {{uv|Ice Climber}} universe.


'''Polar Bears''' are [[enemies]] that appear on [[Adventure mode]] stage 10, [[Icicle Mountain]].  
==Origin==
[[File:Polar Bear Ice Climber.png|left|thumb|A Polar Bear as it appears in ''Ice Climber''.]]
Polar Bears originally made an appearance in the ''{{b|Ice Climber|game}}'' game for the {{s|NWiki|Nintendo Entertainment System}}.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.

==Description==
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
Polar Bears are tall in size and sports a pair of glasses plus pink shorts. The reason they wear pink shorts and sun glasses are unknown as indicated by the [[Polar Bear (trophy)|Polar Bear]] trophy.  
[[File:PolarBearMelee.png|thumb|A Polar Bear on [[Icicle Mountain]] in ''Melee''.]]
Polar Bears serve as an [[enemy]] in the game's [[Adventure 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 the {{SSBM|Ice Climbers}} appear.


==Function==
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 effectively [[one-hit KO]] opponents when smash thrown.
Polar Bears serve both an an [[enemy]] and an obstacle. Polar Bears walk back and forth on the arena. Anyone who comes in contact with one will take a good amount of damage. The amount of damage a character will recieve from a Polar Bear varies on the difficulty that is being used, Polar Bears movement on the stage is similar to the movement of [[Topi]]s. They will take a few steps then halt for a few seconds and take a few more steps. The tall figure of the Poalr Bears makes it hard to avoid on main platforms. It takes about 4 or 5 hits to [[KO]] a Polar Bear. Poalr Bears can be picked up by using the [[Z button]]. They can be thrown at other characters for heavy damage and an instant KO of the Polar Bear.


For every KO'd Polar Bear, '''800 [[bonus points]]''' will be rewarded.
By KOing a Polar Bear in either regular matches or the Adventure Mode, the player is awarded the Polar Bear KO [[List of bonuses|bonus]], which is worth 800 points, the most for an enemy. The bonus also stacks if the player defeats more than one.

|desc=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.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
[[File:Summit4.jpg|thumb|A Polar Bear standing on the top of [[Summit]].]]
A Polar Bear appears as a background character on the stage [[Summit]]. 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 from ''Ice 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.

===In [[Smash Run]]===
[[File:Polar Bear removed POTD.jpg|thumb|A Polar Bear attacking {{SSB4|Zelda}}.]]
The Polar Bear appears as an uncommon enemy. Like in ''Melee'', 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 to [[flame]] attacks which even make it flinch. Owing to its above average strength it drops more power-ups than regular enemies.
 
===Trophy===

|desc-ntsc=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!

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
[[File:Kazuya Polar Bear SSBU.jpg|thumb|A Polar Bear with {{SSBU|Kazuya}} on [[Summit]].]]
A Polar Bear can be seen teetering precariously on the icy mountain in [[Iceberg]]. Additionally, the Polar Bear also reappears on the returning [[Summit]] stage.
 
===Spirit===
The Polar Bear also appears as an Ace-class [[support spirit]]. It can be [[summon]]ed using the cores of [[Bewear]] and [[Freezie]].
 
In [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]], the Polar Bear is presumably one of the countless spirits captured by [[Galeem]] during his takeover of the universe. The Polar Bear's spirit is located in the icy mountain section of [[The Light Realm]].
 
The Polar Bear's Spirit Battle uses a {{SSBU|Donkey Kong}} puppet fighter and is fought on the [[Summit]] stage's [[Battlefield form]]. During the battle, Donkey Kong is equipped with slow super armor, referencing how the Polar Bear is a slow but powerful enemy in ''Ice Climber''. Also, the Freezie item appears, and periodic earthquakes will shake the stage while Donkey Kong can deal damage by falling, referencing the Polar Bear's ability to perform a powerful stomp.
