|status=Active}}'''Polar Plunge''' is an [[Arcade]] [[game]] in [[Webkinz World]] that came out in [[2007]] with [[Cash Cow 2]] and replaced [[Skater Kat]]. Originally the game had only one course, but in early [[2008]] it was changed to four. They were Kewl Runnings (easy), Ice Cream Float (medium), Polar Plummet (medium), and Black Diamond (hard). [[Inukshuk]] is featured in this game.▼

The objective is for Inukshuk to get to the bottom of the slope while jumping over obstacles. There are three slopes to choose from: Easy, Medium, and Hard. The harder the slope, the more obstacles and rocky terrain there will be.▼

▲The objective is for [[Inukshuk]] to get to the bottom of the slope while jumping over obstacles The hills are very dangerous and you must leap over a variety of objects to make it safely down. There are three slopes to choose from: Easy, Medium, and Hard. The harder the slope, the more obstacles and rocky terrain there will be.
==Controls==
Use the arrow keys to control Inukshuk. The right arrow key is used to speed up, the left arrow key is to slow down, and the up arrow key is used to jump.
==Obstacles==
Snowmen, snowpigs, trees, and tree trunks are obstacles to avoid while sliding down the slope. Snowpigs will slow you down, and will have either a green, yellow, or red scarf. Green scarves reduce speed by about a quarter, yellow scarves by about a third, and red scarves by a little over half, if going full speed.
Snowmen, trees, and tree trunks will end the game if hit at all.

Snowflakes can be gained to earn extra points, each one rewarding 50 points. Ramps are littered throughout the slope to jump from.

▲Previously, the original trophy, which has been discontinued, was given out at random when crossing any of the former four slopes' finish lines. The message would be either "Congratulations! You are a Plunging Pro!" or "You are a Plunging Pro! A surprise has been placed in your dock!", the latter indicating that the trophy had indeed been won. The odds of winning the trophy were about 1 in 4 on the easy course, about 1 in 3 on the medium courses and unknown on the hard course.
*Ice Cream Float: 3 in 10 chance (once the course is finished)
*Polar Plummet: 3 in 10 chance (once the course is finished)
*Black Diamond: 4 in 10 chance (once the course is finished)
