Bazaar: Difference between revisions

'''Bazaar''' is a member of the [[Brothers Bear]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. He runs a [[Bazaar's General Store|general store]] near [[Funky's Rentals]] from the southern part of the [[Northern Kremisphere]] map, hence his name being taken from "bazaar," another word referring to a marketplace or shopping center. At his store, Bazaar is selling a [[shell (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|shell]] that he found at the bottom of [[Lake Orangatanga]] and a [[mirror (item)|mirror]] that belonged to [[Cranky Kong]]'s [[List of implied characters#Cranky Kong's great grandfather|great grandfather]] for 5 and 50 bear coins respectively. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, he also sells a [[box of chocolates]] for 20 bear coins. Bazaar can be the first Brothers Bear whom [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] visit. He has the most dialogue out of the other Brothers Bear. [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] can buy some information from Bazaar regarding [[secret cave]]s or vague information regarding a [[Kastle Kaos|mysterious castle]]. In the original version only, when purchasing information on the castle, Bazaar also mentions an encounter he had with [[Link]] (and also references the [[zeldawiki:Secret Seashell|Secret Seashell]]s).<ref>{{cite|author=Bazaar|quote=Some cheeky lad called Link was in just last week and he asked about the castle too. He didn't have enough coins, but he seemed such a nice fellow that I agreed to accept 500 rupees instead. After that he left... muttering about my shells being the wrong shape or something. Oh well!|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''|date=1996}}</ref> Even after purchasing the information, Bazaar still charges the [[Kong]]s to hear the information again. Around the time when the [[Knautilus]] is revealed in [[Krematoa]], Bazaar sold a fan to [[Boomer (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Boomer]] for him to cool himself down from the resulting heat. Boomer affirms that Bazaar does not sell products for cheap.<ref>{{cite|date=1996|author=Boomer|quote=Phew, it's roasting in here! I had to pop down to Bazaars and get this fan. He's not cheap, is he?|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''}}</ref>

Bazaar is a brown-furred bear who is only wearing a white apron. His artwork and [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]] photograph also show him with a small, black mustache. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, Bazaar is wearing a yellow sombrero and a black backpack. The [[Bear (Donkey Kong Land III)|Bear]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' would go on to appear similarly to Bazaar.

===Personality===

Bazaar shares a personality with a typical shopkeeper, as he utilizes common sales techniques to arouse interest in his products,<ref>{{cite|quote=Not interested? Never mind, I'm sure some lucky person will snap it up soon.|author=Bazaar|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''|date=1996}}</ref> and he charges high prices for items that he sells.
