Editing Bear (Donkey Kong Land III)

[[Image:Bear.PNG|thumb|80px|'''Bear'''.]]
'''Bear''' is a friendly bear from the [[Game Boy]] game ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. He is the only member of the [[Brothers Bear]] not to have appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', and the only one to appear in this game. Bear wears a sleeveless, white T-shirt, just like his brother [[Bazaar]]; since they are very similar, Bear and Bazaar may actually be twins.

Bear owns and runs the [[Sheepy Shop]]s, that can be found in all worlds of the game, including the [[Lost World]]. When [[Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] enter his store, Bear will offer them the chance to play a memory game (provided they have a certain number of Bonus Coins at that point in the game), the goal of which is to match 10 pairs of cards (somewhat like [[Forget Me Not]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''). However, the [[Kong]]s have a limited amount of time in which to match all the cards. Depending on how many and which cards they've uncovered, Bear will reward them various items such as [[Banana|Banana Bunch]]es, [[Extra Life Balloon]]s, [[DK Coin]]s, [[Bear Coin]]s, and [[Stop Watch]]es.  (See the [[Sheepy Shop]] entry for more detailed information on the game.)

For two coins, Bear can also provide the Kongs with hints, and for five coins, he can teleport them from one world to another. He replaces [[Funky Kong]], who does not appear in ''Donkey Kong Land III''.

-The '''Bears''' are identical characters in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' who act as a stand-in for the [[Brothers Bear]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and bear a strong resemblance to [[Bazaar]]. However, other sources refer to the Bears as "the Brothers Bear."<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Land III'' instruction booklet|date=1997|location={{wp|Redmond, Washington|Redmond, WA}}|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=American English|page=7 and 16}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 102|date=November 1997|page=84 and 89}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 103|date=December 1997|page=84 and 85}}</ref>
-Bears operate a cabin called the [[Sheepy Shop]] in every world, including the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]]. When [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] enter one's location, he provides them with a few options: the first one is to play the [[cards]] game, the second is a level hint, and lastly to teleport the Kongs to the main world map. He substitutes the typical role of [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] and [[Funky Kong]] for the second and third options respectively. If the Kongs win at cards, the Bear gives them various items, such as [[Banana Bunch]]es, [[Red Balloon|Extra Life Balloon]]s, [[DK Coin]]s, and [[bear coin]]s, and if the Kongs win a first time, they will receive a [[Watch (Donkey Kong Land III)|Watch]].
