* All of the Brothers Bear's names start with the letter "B" for '''B'''ear.


* Although they are all related, the exact relationship between all the bears is unclear, due to the fact that their ages and coloring vary. However, [[Benny]] and [[Björn]] are confirmed to be twins. They also happen to be the names of the two male members of the Swedish pop group ABBA; in the game, Benny says ''"My chair-lift is the safest route up the cliffs. So go on, Dixie, take a chance on me"''. "Take A Chance on Me" is an ABBA song!

—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 replaced with Bears resembling Bazaar. Bears operate the Sheepy Shop around the Northern Kremisphere, where the Kongs can play cards, pay two bear coins to hear a hint, or pay five bear coins to teleport to another area in the world map.

There are 14 Brothers Bear in total:
