Polar

Polar is a polar bear from the Crash Bandicoot series, who debuted in Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back.

How to Abuse a bear
He first appears in the eighth level (Bear It) of Cortex Strikes Back then later in Level 13 (Bear Down), the last part of level 15 (Unbearable) and the hidden level 26 (Totally Bear). In these levels, Crash will ride him. He is also present in the second Warp Room, near the entrance to Level 8. If the player jumps on him several times, he/she will obtain many extra lives. It is likely Crash took him home.

Polar is on the good side in the Crash Universe, except in Crash Twinsanity, when he is pictured as being one of Crash's enemies, and appeared alongside some of Crash's primary enemies upon being introduced by Dr. Neo Cortex. (possibly to get revenge on Crash for what had happened in his debut title) In the rest of the game series, he is kind and loving. He is one of Crash Bandicoot's buddies and his animal guardian. He also starred in Menchi series, a show that stars characters from Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon and The legend of Zelda. Polar bear first appeared in the Me and Menchi series from Youtube. It's an early version of the series. Instead he is a plush Wowee pet. Polar is directly known as a minor character of the series featuring only in a few episodes.

Cameo
He is also seen in the intro of warped next to Crash.

On Your MArks!
In Crash Team Racing, when Nitros Oxide attacked Earth, threatening to turn it into a parking lot, Polar stopped his dream of being a literature genius (which he was not accomplishing by reading his books upside-down), and decided to race against the villainous. Polar is a playable character in his cart. His home track is Polar Pass. His cart handled tight corners, much like Pura.

OTher
he is shown in Crash huge adventure, ntranced, and purple.

Hypnotism
Later, in Crash Nitro Kart, Polar was brainwashed by N. Trance. He was on the alien racing team. However, in the ending, he hangs with Crash again. He drives a green kart in this game.

Evil?
In Crash Twinsanity, He seems to be mad at Crash for some reason. He is at Cortex's gathering holding a baseball bat to hit him with. This could be either because crash jumped on him in Crash 2, Left him at home in 3, or to spy on the bad guys and later tell Coco, or this could be a different Polar bear.

Two feet
Polar might be able to stand on 2 legs now, since he does in CrashBoom Bang.

Polar is also known to be the ice cream tester.
