CTR
polar in Crash Team Racing was a racer in the championship to beat Nitros Oxide. Polar is seen in the ctr intro in one of the snow tracks reading a book upside down how to drive. Polar's kart handles better then other karts just like Pura's. polar can really navigate around tricky corridors and cruise through big hair-pin turns.
