Bramble, named Bellamy in European manuals,[1][page number needed] is a botanist and a member of the Brothers Bear in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! He lives in his own bungalow in the Northern Kremisphere map, where he studies rare species of flowers. Bramble claims to have once been in Mekanos but moved out from the location when it became overrun by factories and industrial pollution. Bramble, like many other Brothers Bear, is in possession of a Banana Bird, whose abilities he has finished studying and is willing to part with. Dixie or Kiddy Kong can obtain the Banana Bird by trading the Flupperius Petallus Pongus with Bramble. If the Kongs visit Bramble prior to completing Mekanos, he requests them to shut off the machines so that his plants can grow again. By the time that the Kongs complete Razor Ridge, a Flupperius Petallus Pongus grows on a dead-end path adjacent to his bungalow. The Kongs can pick it up and give it Bramble, who then rewards them with a Banana Bird.
Bramble is named after a type of rose plant, a bramble plant. His alternate name, Bellamy, was likely taken from the English botanist, David Bellamy, and it still ended up becoming his Japanese name.
In the Game Boy Advance version, Bramble's role was slightly altered because the Flupperius Petallus Pongus instead has to be received from Bachelor. When it is given to Bramble, he exchanges a rose for it. Bramble now only gives his Banana Bird to the Kongs after they complete Mekanos.
