While moving around, different challenges can be played, marked by Bear Markers.
Performing well has the bear advance to a new stage of life and lets him discover new lands.
Each challenge can be played three times in more difficult stages (Bronze, Silver, Gold).
On the main screen, the HUD consists of hearts (life), silver paws (pick-ups) and golden paws (pick-ups).
Collecting silver paws makes new playable animals available, such as the Arctic fox (10 paws), adult bear (20 paws), orca (30 paws) and walrus (40 paws).
The different challenges (mini-games) include:* Ice slide: race down an ice track collecting silver paw prints.
Scavenge: collect leftover meals from adult polar bears without waking them.
Shuffle: slide to the center of a ring to score.
Food fight: timed button-mashing for food Ice flow rodeo: steer a piece of broken ice through currents.
Catch-a-seal: pounce patiently on seals when they appear.
Orca race: underwater race through tunnels and caverns.
Ice sheet: find a safe way across frozen water without breaking the ice.
Clam scavenge: catch clams in underwater caverns before time runs out.
Walrus chase: underwater chase for a walrus Walrus hunt: underwater exploration to catch walruses.
Making sweet music: have the walrus dance by performing gestures in a timely fashion.
Four games can be played in multiplayer: Catch-a-seal, Making sweet music, Food fight, and balance fight.
About Game Boy Advance
Nintendo's Game Boy Advance (2001) offered near-SNES-level graphics in a handheld and became a home for excellent ports as well as original titles across nearly every genre. GBA cartridges are generally durable and plentiful, making it an approachable platform for new collectors, though a few late-release RPGs and limited exclusives have become genuine chase items.
Gamevaro tracks Arctic Tale for Game Boy Advance with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Arctic Tale to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBA release dates back to 2007.

Rarity & condition

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
