'''Bristles''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. These orange hedgehogs have spiky quills that injure [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] on contact. Bristles are encountered in waterfall levels and jungle levels mainly. A Bristles can be defeated from being rolled into from the front, because their quills harm the [[Kong]]s, much like [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Spinies]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Unlike Spinies, Bristles are unaffected by a [[team up]] throw, also damaging the Kong in the process. Alternatively, a Bristles can be defeated either from a [[barrel]] or a [[Steel Keg]] being thrown at it, or from [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] spitting a coconut at it. A unique type of Bristles appears in [[Konveyor Rope Klash]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''; they curl up before tossing themselves at Dixie and Kiddy and can be defeated only from a barrel in this state. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Bristles is categorized as part of the [[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]].


'''Bristles''' are orange hedgehog enemies appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They have spiky quills that injure [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] when touched. As such, they are considered [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spinies]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. According to [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], Bristles are categorized under the "[[Terrorfirma Tuff Guys]]" enemy class.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', curled up Bristles have a role in the [[Cranky's Dojo]] minigame, where the goal is for [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] to deflect thirty of them as they bounce at him.


==Summary==
==Profiles and statistics==
To directly defeat a Bristles, Dixie or Kiddy must roll into it from the front, otherwise the [[Kong]]s will get hurt from touching it. And unlike Spinies, Bristles are immune to [[team up]] throws, as performing the move injures the Kong thrown. Other ways to defeat a Bristles include throwing either a [[barrel]] or [[Steel Keg]] at it, or by having [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]] spit a coconut at it.

In the level [[Konveyor Rope Klash]], some Bristles curl up and hurtle themselves toward the Kongs. They are more hazardous, as the Kongs cannot defeat them by themselves. They can either defeat these Bristles with a [[Barrel]] or attack them when they assume their usual form. The rolling Bristles do not appear in ''Donkey Kong Land III''. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, the rolling Bristles are featured in the [[Cranky's Dojo]] minigame, where [[Cranky Kong|Cranky]] must deflect 30 rolling Bristles as they appear from the left and right sides of the screen and bounce toward him. If Cranky is hit by a Bristles, he loses.

Bristles are enemies in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III. These orange hedgehogs have spiky quills that injure Dixie and Kiddy Kong on contact. Bristles are encountered in waterfall levels and jungle levels mainly. A Bristles can be defeated from being rolled into from the front, because their quills harm the Kongs, much like Spinies in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Unlike Spinies, Bristles are unaffected by a team up throw, also damaging the Kong in the process. Alternatively, a Bristles can be defeated either from a barrel or a Steel Keg being thrown at it, or from Squawks spitting a coconut at it. A unique type of Bristles appears in Konveyor Rope Klash of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!; they curl up before tossing themselves at Dixie and Kiddy and can be defeated only from a barrel in this state. In Dixie Kong's Photo Album, a Bristles is categorized as part of the Terrorfirma Tuff Guys.

In the remake of Donkey Kong Country 3, curled up Bristles have a role in the Cranky's Dojo minigame, where the goal is for Cranky to deflect thirty of them as they bounce at him.
