==Gameplay==
===Objective===
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.
===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.

Template:GamePolar 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.
In July 2017, the game had another update and was given new artwork and slopes. Each slope, "Easy", "Medium", and "Hard" no longer have names.[1]
Gameplay
Objective
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.

Trophy
When a slope is beaten for the first time, a Polar Plunge Trophy will be rewarded; Completing Polar Plunge on Easy rewards a bronze trophy, Medium a silver trophy, and Hard a gold trophy.
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.
