Characteristics[edit]

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]

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]
