- —Brash, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
Brash is the athletic member of the Brothers Bear. He appears in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, where he owns a cabin (changed to a stadium in the remake) in the northwest end of Kremwood Forest. He is a jock with a mohawk and a stopwatch around his neck. Brash held a record of completing Riverside Race in one minute and 15 seconds for two years, which he brags about to Dixie and Kiddy Kong, but the Kongs manage to beat his record, Brash throws a powerful tantrum that causes a nearby log to fall into the riverbank on the Kremwood Forest map, forming a bridge leading into the secret cave, Arich's Hoard. When subsequently visiting Brash, he stays mad at the Kongs, even insisting that they leave. Brash wears a different outfit in the game's artwork that contains the Rare logo next to the words "Rarebare", a clear pun on the company's title. In addition to this artwork, the Nintendo Player's Guide also contains mirrored artwork where the Rare logo is removed and the logo is renamed to "Rare Bear".[2] In the remake, Brash's outfit was changed to a blue headband, a white undershirt, and blue sweatpants with a white stripe. He is no longer wearing a stopwatch.
