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]].
'''Bear''' is the lone [[Brothers Bear|Brother Bear]] representative of ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. He strongly resembles [[Bazaar]], and is the only Brothers Bear absent from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. However, the game's instruction manual and [[Nintendo Power]] articles on ''Donkey Kong Land III'' refers to Bear as "the Brothers Bear". This implies that Bear is not a separate character, but a generic stand-in for the Brothers Bear.

Bear operates his own cabin, the [[Sheepy Shop]], in every world, even the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]]. When [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] enter his location, he provides them with a few options: the first one is to play the card game [[Memory]], 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 Memory, Bear rewards them various items such as [[Banana|Banana Bunch]]es, [[Extra Life Balloon]]s, [[DK Coin]]s, [[Bear Coin]]s. If they first win, the Kongs receive a [[Stop Watch]].
 
Bear is fully animated in the original Game Boy version, but was reduced to a single sprite in the Japanese [[Game Boy Color]] port.
