Polar is a recurring character in the Crash Bandicoot franchise.

Characteristics[edit]

Polar is a polar bear cub and a pet owned by Crash Bandicoot, who often rides on him while traversing through ice levels. Polar shares some traits with puppies, such as having a tendency to bark.

History[edit]

Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back[edit]

Polar appears in some of the arctic levels, where Crash would ride him in the same manner he did on the boar in Crash Bandicoot. He was also used in a certain level where Crash had to escape from an exceptionally large polar bear. In the second world of Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back, Polar's first appearance, he is in the warp room and can be jumped on to earn extra lives.

Crash Bandicoot: Warped[edit]

Polar appears in Crash Bandicoot: Warped in the opening cinematic, where it is revealed that he now lives with Crash.

Crash Team Racing/Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled[edit]

Polar is a playable character in Crash Team Racing. His kart is light blue, and is in the beginners category of karts, which are low in speed, average in acceleration, and great in turning prowess.

Crash Nitro Kart[edit]

Polar is also a playable character in Crash Nitro Kart. He was brainwashed alongside Pura and Dingodile by N. Trance, and joined Team Trance, whose karts were green in color. He was also seen in the ending cinematic for [[Team Bandicoot (group)|Team Bandicoot, where he, Coco, Crash and Crunch are at the beach.

Crash Twinsanity[edit]

Polar appears again in Crash Twinsanity at Crash's "birthday party", where he wears an angry expression and wields a baseball bat. According to Crash Twinsanity concept art, Polar has apparently joined the villains for unexplained reasons.

Crash Boom Bang![edit]

Polar appeared in Crash Boom Bang!, where he stood upright and wore jeans, a la Pura in the same game.
