- —Bazaar, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
The Brothers Bear are a family of bear brothers[1] who live in the Northern Kremisphere in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! Each of them have their own establishment, a unique personality and role. Most of the Brothers Bear have a Banana Bird, which Dixie and Kiddy Kong can usually obtain by providing them with a unique item. 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 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.
In Donkey Kong Land III, the Brothers Bear are referred to as Bears in-game (while also being named the Brothers Bear by multiple sources),[2][3][4] however, they all resemble Bazaar. The Bears operate a cabin called the Sheepy Shop in every world, including the 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 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 Bunches, Extra Life Balloons, DK Coins, and bear coins, and if the Kongs win a first time, they will receive a Watch.
There are 14 Brothers Bear in total:

Notes[edit]
The artwork for Brothers Bear's cabin, while at first may look like Blue's Beach Hut because of the calendar, it is actually a generic cabin that contains object from various cabins:
- "Closed" plaque from Bazaar's General Store
- 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
