Polar Extreme Appears in Mario Party 9 Type Free-for-all mini-game Music Don't Freeze Polar Extreme is a Free-for-All minigame in Mario Party 9. It is a pun on the children's book, The Polar Express. The name may also be based on the terminology "polar extreme", which represents radical viewpoints. Introduction The Polar Extreme minigame. The camera focuses on the ship at the end. Then, it switches to the players. Gameplay As the screen auto-scrolls to the right, the competitors must reach the ship first or survive longest by jumping on breakable ice chunks which shift under their weight. If the player falls in the water, they are temporarily frozen before returning to the ice chunk, but can leap out of the water by pressing rapidly. The player can fall into the water only three times in a row. The player loses if they fall behind the scrolling screen. Some Penguins are found on some chunks as obstacles, stunning any player that touches them. Occasionally, jumping on a chunk of ice results in it shattering into smaller pieces. In-game text Rules – "Make your way across the drifting ice chunks. Be the first to board the ship at the end to win!" Controls – "Hold the Wii Remote sideways. Press to move and to jump. If you fall into the water, rapidly press to climb back onto the ice."
