| '''Boomer''' is a [[Brothers Bear|Brother Bear]] who specializes in explosives in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. He is located in [[Boomer's Bomb Shelter|his own bomb shelter]] in the lost world, [[Krematoa]]. Boomer wears an orange vest and a yellow construction hat. His official artwork also shows him wearing a pair of black shoes. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake]], Boomer now wears a white undershirt similar to [[Brash]]'s and a red construction hat.

| According to Boomer, he explains that the other residents of [[Northern Kremisphere]] banished him to Krematoa, deeming him "too dangerous" (given his love for explosives). Unlike some other Brothers Bear, who provide their service in exchange for [[bear coin]]s, Boomer only accepts [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]]s for currency. Every [[level]] in Krematoa has a pair of rocks blocking the path, and Boomer charges 15 Bonus Coins to detonate each one, except the final level, [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]], which he charges 25 Bonus Coins for. After the [[Kong]]s pay Boomer, he uses munitions to blow up of the level's rocks, allowing the Kongs to access it. When [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] complete a level, they obtain a [[Cog (Donkey Kong Country 3)|cog]]. By returning to Boomer's Bomb Shelter with the cogs, Boomer places them on a machine. After the rocks blocking the path to Rocket Rush are detonated, Boomer has no more explosives that he can use. If the Kongs have enough Bonus Coins for two or more levels, then Boomer forces them to pay for as many of his "specials" that they can afford at once before blowing up the same number of rocks. If the Kongs try to pay Boomer fewer Bonus Coins than he requires, he reprimands them and claims someone tried it before, whom he implies was sent up into space. When all five cogs are placed on Boomer's machine, the dormant volcano in Krematoa reactivates, and the [[Knautilus]] rises in the central lake. Following this, if the Kongs revisit Boomer, a fan appears on his countertop, blowing on his face, due to the temperature increase caused by the volcano's reactivation. Boomer claims to have bought the fan from [[Bazaar's General Store]].
| | '''Boomer''' is a construction hat wearing bear with a love of explosives; he is also a member of the [[Brothers Bear]] family. |

| In the event that the [[cheat code]] "WATER" is entered to automatically obtain every Bonus Coin and then visit Boomer, he will be surprised that the Kongs already have all the Bonus Coins.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/YyCToiLPwRo?t=1m13s|timestamp=01:13|title=''Cool Bits - Donkey Kong Country 3's Christmas Secret & Hidden Codes''|author=GameXplain|date=December 20, 2014|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=May 15, 2024}}</ref>
| | Before the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'', Boomer was seemingly exiled to [[Krematoa]] by the rest of the Brothers Bear, who found Boomer's love of explosives annoying and dangerous to them and everyone else. Once he arrived in Krematoa, Boomer, taking his explosives with him, created a home for himself called [[Boomer's Bomb Shelter]]. |
|

|
| In [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|the Game Boy Advance version]], Boomer charges 18 Bonus Coins to clear the path to a level, except Rocket Rush's, which costs 26 Bonus Coins, and only a single level can have its path cleared at a time. Boomer's fan and his dialogue saying that he got it from Bazaar's General Store were also removed.
| | If [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] manage to raise Krematoa from the sea, they can visit Boomer and, for a price of several [[DK Coin]]s, have him use some munitions to blow up the rocks blocking their path to the levels of Krematoa. Dixie and Kiddy could also give Boomer the various [[Cog]]s they recieved at the end of Krematoa's levels; once Boomer recieved a Cog, he could put it into a machine that he claimed to have found after moving to Krematoa. |

| | Once all five levels of Krematoa are beaten and all five Cogs in Krematoa are given to Boomer, he will put them all in his machine, which will reactivate the dormant volcano in Krematoa and raise [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]]'s [[Knautilus]] submarine. |
