Latest appearance	Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance) (2005)

Bazaar is a member of the Brothers Bear in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. He runs a 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 that he found at the bottom of Lake Orangatanga and a mirror that belonged to Cranky Kong's 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 and Kiddy Kong can buy some information from Bazaar regarding secret caves or vague information regarding a 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 Secret Seashells).

General information

Physical appearance

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 Bears 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, and he charges high prices for items that he sells. Even after purchasing the information, Bazaar still charges the Kongs to hear the information again. Around the time when the Knautilus is revealed in Krematoa, Bazaar sold a fan to Boomer for him to cool himself down from the resulting heat. Boomer affirms that Bazaar does not sell products for cheap.
