The '''Brothers Bear''' are a family of bear brothers<ref>{{cite|quote=Dixie and Kiddy won't lack for help on this adventure. Besides having the Kong clan in their corner, they'll also meet up with a family of bear brothers–thirteen of them, to be exact–during their travels. Some will sell you items, some will give you advice, and still others will just give you a hard time!|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble'' Player’s Guide|publisher=[[Nintendo Power]]|location={{wp|Redmond, Washington|Redmond}}|language=en-us|date=1996|author=Owsen, Dan, Terry Munson, and Paul Shinoda|page=10}}</ref> who live in the [[Northern Kremisphere]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' Each of them have their own establishment, a unique personality and role. Most of the Brothers Bear have a [[Banana Bird]], which [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] can usually obtain by providing them with a unique item. Every Brother Bear's name starts with the letter "B". All of them reside in similar types of cabins, which only differ by color scheme and small cosmetics. Every Brothers Bear location was redesigned in the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], giving each of them a unique interior. The remake also adds another Brothers Bear, [[Bachelor]], adding him to [[Lake Orangatanga]] and relocating Barnacle to [[Pacifica]].

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', the Brothers Bear are referred to as '''Bears''' in-game (while also being named the Brothers Bear by multiple sources),<ref>{{cite|title=''Donkey Kong Land III'' instruction booklet|date=1997|location={{wp|Redmond, Washington|Redmond, WA}}|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=American English|page=7 and 16}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 102|date=November 1997|page=84 and 89}}</ref><ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 103|date=December 1997|page=84 and 85}}</ref> however, they all resemble [[Bazaar]]. The Bears operate a cabin called the [[Sheepy Shop]] in every world, including the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]]. When Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong enter one's location, he provides them with a few options: the first one is to play the [[cards]] game, the second is a level hint, and lastly to teleport the Kongs to the main world map. The bears substitute the typical role of [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] and [[Funky Kong]] for the second and third options respectively. If the Kongs win at cards, the Bear gives them various items, such as [[Banana Bunch]]es, [[Red Balloon|Extra Life Balloon]]s, [[DK Coin]]s, and [[bear coin]]s, and if the Kongs win a first time, they will receive a [[Watch (Donkey Kong Land III)|Watch]]. In the original version, the Bears have an idle animation, but in the [[Game Boy Color]] re-release, they only have one frame of animation.

There are 14 Brothers Bear in total:
