Template:Character-infobox Bear is the lone Brothers Bear representative of Donkey Kong Land III. He strongly resembles Bazaar, and is the only Brothers Bear absent from Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. However, the game's instruction booklet and Nintendo Power coverage refer to Bear as "the Brothers Bear"[1][2][3]. This implies that Bear is not a separate character, but a generic stand-in for the Brothers Bear.
