Bristles areenemies inDonkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! andDonkey Kong Land III. These orange hedgehogs have spiky quills that injureDixie andKiddy 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 theKongs, much likeSpinies inDonkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Unlike Spinies, Bristles are unaffected by ateam up throw, also damaging the Kong in the process. Alternatively, a Bristles can be defeated either from abarrel or aSteel Keg being thrown at it, or fromSquawks spitting a coconut at it. A unique type of Bristles appears inKonveyor Rope Klash ofDonkey 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. InDixie Kong's Photo Album, a Bristles is categorized as part of theTerrorfirma Tuff Guys.

In theremake ofDonkey Kong Country 3, curled up Bristles have a role in theCranky's Dojo minigame, where the goal is forCranky to deflect thirty of them as they bounce at him.
