-'''Björn''' is a member of the [[Brothers Bear]] who appears during the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Björn operates one of the [[Björn's Chairlifts|chairlift]]s in [[Razor Ridge]], alongside his twin brother, [[Benny]]. "Björn" is a Swedish name meaning "bear". His and Benny's names come from two members of the Swedish pop group [[wikipedia:ABBA|ABBA]], [[wikipedia:Björn Ulvaeus|Björn Ulvaeus]], and [[wikipedia:Benny Andersson|Benny Andersson]].

+'''Björn''' is a member of the [[Brothers Bear]] who appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' He has a twin brother named [[Benny]], and both bears operate one of the [[Björn's Chairlift|chairlift]]s in [[Razor Ridge]].<ref>"''These two identical twins run the ski lifts on the mountains.''" - Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble instruction booklet, page 20</ref>
-While Björn's chairlifts are not a part of the main path in Razor Ridge, they do connect to a cliff in the northwest section of the area, where a [[Banana Bird Cave]] lies. Unfortunately, Björn's chairlifts are broken by a [[Kremling]]<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' Player's Guide, Nintendo, 1996, p. 5</ref>, and he is unable to fix them, for he lost his [[No. 6 Wrench]]. If [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] do some searching, they will learn that the No. 6 Wrench found its way into [[Barter]]'s hands. If the [[Kong]]s manage to haggle the wrench away from Barter, they can give it to Björn, who can then use it to repair his chairlifts, giving the Kongs free access to the Banana Bird Cave.
+When first meeting Björn, he tells [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] that his chairlifts are non-operational and that he cannot repair them because he lent his [[No.6 wrench]] to [[Barter]], who never returned it to him. When the [[Kong]]s recover the wrench, they can provide it to Björn. He then repairs his chairlifts, thus allowing the Kongs to move up to the [[secret cave]], "Clifftop Cache".
+Like Benny, Björn's name was also derived from a member of the Swedish pop group {{wp|ABBA}}, {{wp|Björn Ulvaeus}}. Björn is also a Swedish and Icelandic term for a bear as well as a common male name in both languages.
