Blue

Blue is one of the Brothers Bears in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. He lives inside a hut named Blue's Beach Hut, which is located at the entrance to Cotton-Top Cove.

Summary
Blue's name is derived from the word "blue". In his case, this refers to two things: Blue constantly "has the blues", as his main characteristic is feeling discouraged and sad, and his fur color is blue. The former attribute is reflected in the original version from a slowed-down, downtrodden variant of the Brothers Bear theme playing as background music in his location.

His sadness stems from how nobody remembered his birthday. It is later revealed that Blizzard, the Brothers Bear of K3, did remember Blue's birthday and even got him a Present. He cannot deliver it because they live too far away from each other, so he requests Dixie and Kiddy Kong to do it instead.

When the Kongs re-enter Blue's Beach Hut with the Present, Blue cheers up and happily unwraps it (and the background music speeds up and becomes more lively in the original version). The Present contains a Bowling Ball, which Blue claims to have no use for. He gives the item to the Kongs and allows them to keep it.
