The '''mirror''' is a [[Brothers Bear]] item in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. It can be bought from [[Bazaar's General Store]] for 50 [[bear coin]]s. According to [[Bazaar]], the mirror was formerly in possession of [[Cranky Kong]]'s [[List of implied characters#Cranky Kong's great grandfather|great grandfather]]. If [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] buy the mirror, they can trade it to [[Barter]] for his [[No.6 wrench]], which they can in turn give to [[Björn]] for him to repair his chairlifts. [[Baffle]] is also in need of the mirror, which he needs to decode a message written by the [[Kremling]]s.<ref> "'''Baffle:''' ''But even I'm having a bit of trouble with this latest Kremling Kode.''" - ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK), Vol. 51, December, 1996, p. 16.</ref> When the [[Kong]]s provide him the mirror, Baffle can decode the message, which reveals the location of [[Kaos Kore]]'s [[secret cave]]. Providing the mirror is optional because the Kongs can still find the cave without talking to him.


==History==
The mirror has a unique mirror-type on each Brother Bear while they are in possession of it. If Barter has the mirror, the layout of his [[Barter's Swap Shop|swap shop]] is inverted, although not in the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]]. If Baffle owns the mirror, he speaks in reverse. Dixie and Kiddy can reacquire the mirror from either Brother Bear by paying ten bear coins to them. The mirror is the only Brother Bear item that the Kongs can keep in their inventory up until they complete their journey.
The mirror is sold at [[Bazaar's General Store]] at a price of 50 [[bear coin]]s. According to the shop owner, [[Bazaar]], the mirror was formerly in possession of [[Cranky Kong]]'s [[List of implied characters#Cranky Kong's great grandfather|great grandfather]]. If [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] purchase the mirror, they can trade it to [[Barter]] for his [[No.6 wrench]], which they can in turn give to [[Björn]] for him to repair his chairlifts.


[[Baffle]] is also in need of the mirror, which he needs to decode a message written by the [[Kremling Kreeps]].<ref> "'''Baffle:''' ''But even I'm having a bit of trouble with this latest Kremling Kode.''" - ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK), Vol. 51, December, 1996, p. 16.</ref> When the [[Kong]]s provide him the mirror, Baffle can decode the message, which reveals the location of [[Kaos Kore]]'s [[secret cave]]. Providing the mirror is optional because the Kongs can still find the cave without talking to him.
If the "COLOR" [[cheat code]] is entered, the mirror turns green.


The mirror has a unique mirror-type on each Brother Bear while they are in possession of it. If Barter has the mirror, the layout of his [[Barter's Swap Shop|swap shop]] is inverted; this gimmick is absent from the [[Game Boy Advance]] port. If Baffle owns the mirror, he speaks in reverse. Dixie and Kiddy can reacquire the mirror from either Brother Bear by paying ten bear coins to them. The mirror is the only Brother Bear item that the Kongs can keep in their inventory up until they complete their journey.
