Brothers Bear

The Brothers Bear are a group of male bears whose homes and businesses are scattered around the Northern Kremisphere in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. Dixie and Kiddy Kong need to trade various items, mainly their coins, between the bears for rewards, most often Banana Birds.

In Donkey Kong Land III, there was only one bear in that game and his name was simply Bear according to the credits. Bear owned the Sheepy Shop around the Northern Kremisphere, where the Kongs can play a card game, pay two Bear Coins to hear a hint, or pay five Bear Coins to teleport to any other area in the World Map.

Barnacle Bear makes a reappearance in Donkey Konga 3, a Japan exclusive game.
