Every Brother Bear's name starts with the letter "B". All of them reside in similar types of cabins, which only differ by color scheme and small cosmetics. Every Brothers Bear location was redesigned in the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], giving each of them a unique interior. The remake also adds another Brothers Bear, [[Bachelor]], adding him to [[Lake Orangatanga]] and relocating Barnacle to [[Pacifica]]. | |

| |
| *Hedge shear and bookshelf from [[Baffle's Code Room]]
| |
| *Calendar and telescope from [[Blue's Beach Hut]]
| |
| *Book (on the counter) from [[Blunder's Booth]] | |
| *Fan from [[Boomer's Bomb Shelter]]
| |
| *Board from [[Brash's Cabin]]
| |
| *A vase similar to the one from [[Bramble's Bungalow]], but not the same
