==History==
===''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!''===
In the episode "[[The Bird! The Bird!]]", [[Luigi]] tries to bail from climbing the dangerous snowy mountain, so [[Mario]] tells him he can rest there and he will deal with the polar bears. Hearing that, Luigi follows his brother and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] in fear.
 
In the episode "[[Koopa Klaus]]", after [[Bowser|King Koopa]] is beaten and left on a floating iceberg, he laments on how can it get any worse, only to discover a polar bear on the iceberg, prompting him to run in circles.
 
===''Super Mario'' (Kodansha manga)===
In ''[[Super Mario Land 3 (manga)|Super Mario Land 3]]'', seven Polar Bears aids [[King Tetris]] on the icy [[Tetris Shima]]. They first help King Tetris in tossing {{wp|Tetromino|Tetriminos}} at Mario, Luigi, and Peach. After [[Chanchako]] help them to clear the blocks, King Tetris retreats inside the island, while two polar bears use their ice skates to separate the section where Mario and his friends are standing off the island. Chanchako tries to stop King Tetris from escaping by jumping at him, but two polar bears kick him off.
 
During the Ice Hockey Tetris meatch, King Tetris asks three polar bears to help him on the rink, leaving the remaining four on the reserve bench. Seeing as they are about to lose, King Tetris orders his polar bears to use their clone technique, but Peach quickly notices that the four reserves have disappeared: they simply came to the rink. Mario and his team accuse King Tetris of cheating and he, laughing at the idea that this will stop him, cockily reveals that his polar bears minions are just [[Tetris Ningen]] in disguise, to which the Mario team uses them as Tetriminos to finish the match and win.
 
===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', three of the [[Brothers Bear]] are Polar Bears: the twins [[Benny]] and [[Björn]], and the mountain climber [[Blizzard (character)|Blizzard]].
 
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', one of the generals of the [[Snowmads]] and the second to last boss is a Polar Bear named [[Bashmaster]].
 
===''Minecraft''===
In the ''[[Minecraft]]'' Super Mario Mash-up pack, Polar Bears are one of the few mobs to not have a ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' counterpart, with the only difference from the main game being a differently textured fur.
