| | '''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. |

| 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 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 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.) |
