Mario can jump or throw a fireball to defeat this enemy and control its ball. Mario can use the ball to safely cross spiked floors and get to previously unreachable areas in the Mario Zone. Bears resemble teddy bears and are exclusive to the second level of the Mario Zone.

A Bear also appears on the "Printing" screen of the Game Boy Camera.[2]
