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


==Origin==
'''Polar Bears''' are [[enemies]] from the [[Ice Climber (universe)|Ice Climber]] universe that appear on [[Adventure mode]] stage 10, [[Icicle Mountain]], in ''[[Melee]]'', as well as on [[The Summit]] in ''[[Brawl]]''.  
[[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Polar Bears originally made an appearance in the ''{{b|Ice Climber|game}}'' game for the {{s|NWiki|Nintendo Entertainment System}}.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.

Polar Bears are tall, bipedal, arctic bears that wear shorts and a pair of sunglasses. It is unknown why they wear pink shorts and sunglasses, and the [[Polar Bear (trophy)|Polar Bear]] trophy does not clarify this. Polar Bears originally made an appearance in the ''[[Ice Climber (universe)|Ice Climber]]'' game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Polar Bears would appear as an enemy on the mountain that the Ice Climbers were scaling. The Polar Bears were hectic to the Ice Climbers and were hard to destroy.
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.


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.
==Role in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
===Super Smash Bros. Melee===
Polar Bears serve both an an [[enemy]] and an obstacle. They also appear as a collectible trophy. Polar Bears walk back and forth on the arena, similar to a [[Topi]]. In [[Adventure Mode]], they can also force the screen to scroll up. Polar Bears deal quite a bit of damage, and can easily KO a player. Like other enemies, they can be [[Grab|grabbed]] and thrown for an instant [[KO]] - otherwise, they have about 40 HP. By KO-ing a Polar Bear, the player is awarded the "Polar Bear KO" bonus, which is worth [[Bonus points|800 points]].


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.

"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."

[[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.

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.

|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!

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.
