'''Boomer''' is a [[Brothers Bear|Brother Bear]] who specializes in explosives in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. He is located in [[Boomer's Bomb Shelter|his own bomb shelter]] in the lost world, [[Krematoa]]. Boomer wears an orange vest and a yellow construction hat. His official artwork also shows him wearing a pair of black shoes. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake]], Boomer now wears a white undershirt similar to [[Brash]]'s and a red construction hat.


Before the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'', Boomer was seemingly exiled to [[Krematoa]] by the rest of the Brothers Bear, who found Boomer's love of explosives annoying and dangerous to them and everyone else. Once he arrived in Krematoa, Boomer, taking his explosives with him, created a home for himself in his own [[Boomer's Bomb Shelter|bomb shelter]] which is called Boomer's Bomb Shelter.
According to Boomer, he explains that the other residents of [[Northern Kremisphere]] banished him to Krematoa, deeming him "too dangerous" (given his love for explosives). Unlike some other Brothers Bear, who provide their service in exchange for [[bear coin]]s, Boomer only accepts [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]]s for currency. Every [[level]] in Krematoa has a pair of rocks blocking the path, and Boomer charges 15 Bonus Coins to detonate each one, except the final level, [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]], which he charges 25 Bonus Coins for. After the [[Kong]]s pay Boomer, he uses munitions to blow up of the level's rocks, allowing the Kongs to access it. When [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] complete a level, they obtain a [[Cog (Donkey Kong Country 3)|cog]]. By returning to Boomer's Bomb Shelter with the cogs, Boomer places them on a machine. After the rocks blocking the path to Rocket Rush are detonated, Boomer has no more explosives that he can use. If the Kongs have enough Bonus Coins for two or more levels, then Boomer forces them to pay for as many of his "specials" that they can afford at once before blowing up the same number of rocks. If the Kongs try to pay Boomer fewer Bonus Coins than he requires, he reprimands them and claims someone tried it before, whom he implies was sent up into space. When all five cogs are placed on Boomer's machine, the dormant volcano in Krematoa reactivates, and the [[Knautilus]] rises in the central lake. Following this, if the Kongs revisit Boomer, a fan appears on his countertop, blowing on his face, due to the temperature increase caused by the volcano's reactivation. Boomer claims to have bought the fan from [[Bazaar's General Store]].


If [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] manage to raise Krematoa from the sea, they can visit Boomer and, for a price of fifteen [[Bonus Coin]]s, have him use some munitions to blow up the rocks blocking their path to the levels of Krematoa. Dixie and Kiddy can also give Boomer the various [[Cog]]s they receive at the end of Krematoa's levels; once Boomer receives a Cog, he can put it into a machine that he claims to have found after moving to Krematoa.
In the event that the [[cheat code]] "WATER" is entered to automatically obtain every Bonus Coin and then visit Boomer, he will be surprised that the Kongs already have all the Bonus Coins.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/YyCToiLPwRo?t=1m13s|timestamp=01:13|title=''Cool Bits - Donkey Kong Country 3's Christmas Secret & Hidden Codes''|author=GameXplain|date=December 20, 2014|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=May 15, 2024}}</ref>


To access the first four levels of Krematoa, the [[Kong]]s have to pay Boomer fifteen Bonus Coins for each level. However, they have to pay twenty-five Bonus Coins to gain access to the final level, [[Rocket Rush]].
In [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]], Boomer charges 18 Bonus Coins to clear the path to a level, except Rocket Rush's, which costs 26 Bonus Coins, and only a single level can have its path cleared at a time. Boomer's fan and his dialogue saying that he got it from Bazaar's General Store were also removed.
 
Once all five levels of Krematoa are beaten and all five Cogs in Krematoa are given to Boomer, he  puts them all in his machine, which reactivates the dormant volcano in Krematoa and raises [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein's]] [[Knautilus]] submarine.  If the Kongs see him again, Boomer has a fan in his possession due to the sudden temperature increase caused by the volcano's reactivation.

*In the Super Nintendo version of the game, Boomer will always force the Kongs to buy as many specials that they can currently afford should they agree to pay for his services. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, he'll only offer to open up the next level once the current one is cleared.
** On that note, if the player attempts to get him to unlock the next level while not having the necessary amount of bonus coins, he will tell Dixie and Kiddy off, and claim that someone tried it before, to which he implies that he sent that someone into space.
*In the SNES version, if the player enters the cheat code "WATER" to automatically collect every Bonus Coin in the game and goes to Boomer, he will be surprised that the Kongs already have all the Bonus Coins.<ref>[http://youtu.be/YyCToiLPwRo?t=1m13s Cool Bits - Donkey Kong Country 3's Christmas Secret & Hidden Codes].

*After completing Rocket Rush and raising the Knautilus, if the player re-enters Boomer's Bomb Shelter, they will find him standing behind a fan, which he claims to have puchased from Bazaar.

—Boomer, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

Boomer is a Brother Bear who specializes in explosives in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. He is located in his own bomb shelter in the lost world, Krematoa. Boomer wears an orange vest and a yellow construction hat. His official artwork also shows him wearing a pair of black shoes. In the Game Boy Advance remake, Boomer now wears a white undershirt similar to Brash's and a red construction hat.

According to Boomer, he explains that the other residents of Northern Kremisphere banished him to Krematoa, deeming him "too dangerous" (given his love for explosives). Unlike some other Brothers Bear, who provide their service in exchange for bear coins, Boomer only accepts Bonus Coins for currency. Every level in Krematoa has a pair of rocks blocking the path, and Boomer charges 15 Bonus Coins to detonate each one, except the final level, Rocket Rush, which he charges 25 Bonus Coins for. After the Kongs pay Boomer, he uses munitions to blow up of the level's rocks, allowing the Kongs to access it. When Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong complete a level, they obtain a cog. By returning to Boomer's Bomb Shelter with the cogs, Boomer places them on a machine. After the rocks blocking the path to Rocket Rush are detonated, Boomer has no more explosives that he can use. If the Kongs have enough Bonus Coins for two or more levels, then Boomer forces them to pay for as many of his "specials" that they can afford at once before blowing up the same number of rocks. If the Kongs try to pay Boomer fewer Bonus Coins than he requires, he reprimands them and claims someone tried it before, whom he implies was sent up into space. When all five cogs are placed on Boomer's machine, the dormant volcano in Krematoa reactivates, and the Knautilus rises in the central lake. Following this, if the Kongs revisit Boomer, a fan appears on his countertop, blowing on his face, due to the temperature increase caused by the volcano's reactivation. Boomer claims to have bought the fan from Bazaar's General Store.

In the event that the cheat code "WATER" is entered to automatically obtain every Bonus Coin and then visit Boomer, he will be surprised that the Kongs already have all the Bonus Coins.[1]

In the Game Boy Advance version, Boomer charges 18 Bonus Coins to clear the path to a level, except Rocket Rush's, which costs 26 Bonus Coins, and only a single level can have its path cleared at a time. Boomer's fan and his dialogue saying that he got it from Bazaar's General Store were also removed.
