Baffle

Baffle is a member of the Brothers Bear who appears in the game Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. Baffle resides in a code room located in KAOS Kore.

A self-proclaimed code breaker, Baffle has discovered a clue he cannot crack. He will explain this dilemma to Dixie and Kiddy Kong if they pay him a visit. In order to help Baffle solve his code, the Kongs will need the Mirror, which Bazaar sells. Once the Kongs give Baffle the mirror, he will be able to read the secret code, which will direct the Kongs to swim around the two rocks in KAOS Kore's lake in a figure eight fashion. By doing so, they will open up a sealed Banana Bird Cave. When the Kongs visit him after that, he will be talking backwards.

It is possible for the Kongs to open the Banana Bird Cave without ever dealing with Baffle, although only experienced players (and cheaters) would know to do so. However, giving Baffle the Mirror is the only way to learn how to open the Banana Bird Cave without outside help.
