The Brothers Bear all reside in the same type of cabin, which only differs by color scheme and small cosmetics. In the Game Boy Advance port, each of their cabins are completely redesigned and look entirely different from each other.
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),<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> however, they all resemble [[Bazaar]].

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]].


In the [[Game Boy Advance]] port of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]'', a new bear is added to the Brothers Bear, named [[Bachelor]]. He appears in [[Lake Orangatanga]], as Barnacle was moved to the port-exclusive world, [[Pacifica]].
There are 14 Brothers Bear in total:


In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', they are replaced with [[Bear (Donkey Kong Land III)|Bear]]s resembling [[Bazaar]]. Bears operate the [[Sheepy Shop]] around the Northern Kremisphere, where the [[Kong]]s can play [[cards]], pay two [[bear coin]]s to hear a hint, or pay five bear coins to teleport to another area in the world map.

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:
