'''Bristles''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. These orange hedgehogs have spiky quills that injure [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] on contact. Bristles are encountered in waterfall levels and jungle levels mainly. A Bristles can be defeated from being rolled into from the front, because their quills harm the [[Kong]]s, much like [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Spinies]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Unlike Spinies, Bristles are unaffected by a [[team up]] throw, also damaging the Kong in the process. Alternatively, a Bristles can be defeated either from a [[barrel]] or a [[Steel Keg]] being thrown at it, or from [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] spitting a coconut at it. A unique type of Bristles appears in [[Konveyor Rope Klash]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''; they curl up before tossing themselves at Dixie and Kiddy and can be defeated only from a barrel in this state. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Bristles is categorized as part of the [[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]].


A '''Bristles''' is an enemy in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' and it's pseudo-sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. These small hedgehogs replace [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spinies]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They are mostly found in waterfall levels (such as [[Tracker Barrel Trek]]) and jungle levels (such as [[Konveyor Rope Klash]]). Since they are hedgehogs, their quills are harmful, and they cannot be jumped on. According to the game's credits, Bristles belong to the "[[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]]" enemy class.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', curled up Bristles have a role in the [[Cranky's Dojo]] minigame, where the goal is for [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] to deflect thirty of them as they bounce at him.


To defeat one, [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] must make an attack on the front of the hedgehog while the baddie is walking forward, as the rear and top are very prickly.  Also, unlike the Spinies, Bristles are actually immune to the Kongs' team up attacks, since throwing Dixie or Kiddy at one would just get him or her injured.

Some Bristles can also roll up and hurtle toward a [[Kong]], which makes them virtually invincible and even more dangerous. Fortunately, they only use that attack method in "Konveyor Rope Klash".

Bristles are enemies in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III. These orange hedgehogs have spiky quills that injure Dixie and Kiddy Kong on contact. Bristles are encountered in waterfall levels and jungle levels mainly. A Bristles can be defeated from being rolled into from the front, because their quills harm the Kongs, much like Spinies in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Unlike Spinies, Bristles are unaffected by a team up throw, also damaging the Kong in the process. Alternatively, a Bristles can be defeated either from a barrel or a Steel Keg being thrown at it, or from Squawks spitting a coconut at it. A unique type of Bristles appears in Konveyor Rope Klash of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!; they curl up before tossing themselves at Dixie and Kiddy and can be defeated only from a barrel in this state. In Dixie Kong's Photo Album, a Bristles is categorized as part of the Terrorfirma Tuff Guys.

In the remake of Donkey Kong Country 3, curled up Bristles have a role in the Cranky's Dojo minigame, where the goal is for Cranky to deflect thirty of them as they bounce at him.
