== Overview ==
Bears operate a cabin called the [[Sheepy Shop]] in every world, including the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]]. When [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] enter one's location, he provides them with a few options: the first one is to play the [[cards]] game, the second is a level hint, and lastly to teleport the Kongs to the main world map. He substitutes the typical role of [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] and [[Funky Kong]] for the second and third options respectively. If the Kongs win at cards, the Bear gives them various items, such as [[Banana Bunch]]es, [[Red Balloon|Extra Life Balloon]]s, [[DK Coin]]s, and [[bear coin]]s, and if the Kongs win a first time, they will receive a [[Watch (Donkey Kong Land III)|Watch]].

When [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] enter one's location, he provides them with a few options: the first one is to play the card game [[Memory]], the second is a level hint, and lastly to teleport the Kongs to the main world map. He substitutes the typical role of [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] and [[Funky Kong]] for the second and third options respectively.
 
If the Kongs win at Memory, the bear gives them various items, such as [[Banana Bunch]]es, [[Red Balloon|Extra Life Balloon]]s, [[DK Coin]]s, and [[bear coin]]s. If they win for the first time in any location, the Kongs will receive a [[Stop Watch|Watch]].
 
The bears are fully animated in the original Game Boy version, but are reduced to a single frame in the Japanese [[Game Boy Color]] port.
