== History ==
Benny has a minor role, more than the other Brothers Bear, as he does not have a problem requiring [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]]'s help to resolve, or is a key for solving a puzzle. He allows the [[Kong]]s to use his chairlift service at no cost, which the Kongs are required to use to cross over the lake and continue to the next level.
