'''Polar Bears''' are [[enemy|enemies]] from the ''{{uv|Ice Climber}}'' universe. They appear in stage 10 of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''{{'}}s [[Adventure Mode]], which takes place on [[Icicle Mountain]], on the [[Summit]] stage of ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and in [[Smash Run]] of ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''.

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 does not clarify this. Polar Bears originally made an appearance in the {{b|Ice Climber|game}} game for the {{s|NWiki|Nintendo Entertainment System}}.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 a 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 serve both as an [[enemy]] and an obstacle. They also appear as a collectable 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]]bed 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" [[List of bonuses|bonus]], which is worth 800 points.

;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.''

A Polar Bear appears as a hazard on the stage [[Summit]]. The polar bear pushes the iceberg deeper into the water while standing on the summit of the iceberg. When the Summit falls down again with the Polar Bear, he will fly off, but will come back when the Summit is in the water again.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==

Polar Bears act as enemies in [[Smash Run]], a new mode exclusive to the 3DS version of the game. In it, the Polar Bear drops power-ups when it is defeated, just like the other enemies found in this game mode. It attacks players with a ground pound attack. It is a powerful enemy, with high HP and and a resistance to grabs. However, it is very weak to [[Flame]] attacks.
