Gleamin' Breams, also spelled Gleaming Breams,[1] are enemies in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. These bulky yellow fish are encountered in only one level—the Razor Ridge level Floodlit Fish. Gleamin' Breams are uniquely bioluminescent, so they can produce and emit light, and Enguarde can stab a Gleamin' Bream to startle it and have Gleamin' Bream illuminates the area temporarily. Gleamin' Breams are relatives of Bounty Basses, but do not release any items, unlike them. A photograph of a Gleamin' Bream appears in Dixie Kong's Photo Album, under the Aquatic Attackers class, in the original version only.
Gleamin' Breams appear to be the inspiration for a species of bioluminescent fish in the Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze level, Amiss Abyss. They are small and encountered in schools. Scattering a school of such fish with a corkscrew move makes them produce light for a short time and illuminate the dark area of the stage.

Notes[edit]
- In a preview shown in the United Kingdom's Nintendo Magazine System, the Gleamin' Bream was referred to as "Puffer Fish" and appears to have a slightly unpolished sprite.[2]
