'''Bristles''' are orange hedgehog enemies encountered mainly in waterfall levels and jungle levels in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They have spiky quills that injure [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] when touched. To defeat a Bristles, Dixie or Kiddy must roll into it from the front, otherwise the [[Kong]]s will be hurt from the Bristles' spiky quills, much like with [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spinies]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Unlike Spinies, Bristles are immune to a [[team up]] throw, which even damages the Kong thrown. 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.

They have spiky quills that injure [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] when touched. As such, they are considered equivalent to [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spinies]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. According to [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], Bristles are categorized under the "[[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]]" enemy class.
A unique type of Bristles appears in [[Konveyor Rope Klash]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', and they curl up before tossing themselves at Dixie and Kiddy. While curled up, a Bristles can be defeated only from a barrel. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], this type is also in the [[Cranky's Dojo]] minigame, where [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] has to deflect thirty of them successfully as they bounce his way.

To directly defeat a Bristles, Dixie or Kiddy must roll into it from the front, otherwise the [[Kong]]s will get hurt from touching it. And unlike Spinies, Bristles are immune to [[team up]] throws, as performing the move injures the Kong thrown. Other ways to defeat a Bristles include throwing either a [[barrel]] or [[Steel Keg]] at it, or by having [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] spit a coconut at it.

Bristles mostly appear in waterfall levels and jungle levels, and they appear in more levels in ''Donkey Kong Land III'' than in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''.

**[[Springin' Spiders]]
In the level [[Konveyor Rope Klash]], some Bristles curl up and hurtle themselves toward the Kongs. They are more hazardous, as the Kongs cannot defeat them by themselves. They can either defeat these Bristles with a [[Barrel]] or attack them when they assume their usual form. The rolling Bristles do not appear in ''Donkey Kong Land III''. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, the rolling Bristles are featured in the [[Cranky's Dojo]] minigame, where [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] must deflect 30 rolling Bristles as they appear from the left and right sides of the screen and bounce toward him. If Cranky is hit by a Bristles, he loses.

Bristles are orange hedgehog enemies encountered mainly in waterfall levels and jungle levels in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III. They have spiky quills that injure Dixie and Kiddy Kong when touched. To defeat a Bristles, Dixie or Kiddy must roll into it from the front, otherwise the Kongs will be hurt from the Bristles' spiky quills, much like with Spinies from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Unlike Spinies, Bristles are immune to a team up throw, which even damages the Kong thrown. 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!, and they curl up before tossing themselves at Dixie and Kiddy. While curled up, a Bristles can be defeated only from a barrel. In the Game Boy Advance version, this type is also in the Cranky's Dojo minigame, where Cranky has to deflect thirty of them successfully as they bounce his way.
