Polastraits is the third place that Mario and Sonic visit in Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games for Nintendo DS. Located in a seaside location, it is Pola's home. In this place, Mario can meet the teams Silver the Hedgehog & Blaze the Cat and Wario & Waluigi for the first time, but both duos run away afterwards as a result of their defeat. They are later encountered in Cubyrinth and Icepeak, respectively. Also, Mario and Sonic have to save a Shy Guy and a Chao from falling into the water, as requested by a Penguin. Upon doing so, the Penguin gives them a Blitz Skeleton. There is an unknown area with a large wall of ice that is only accessible when everyone falls down from Cubyrinth after Knuckles pulls a lever. Cuby is held hostage by Eggman Nega here.
