'''Baffle''' is a member of the [[Brothers Bear]]s and a retired '''F'''unky '''B'''ear '''I'''nvestigators agent.<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' Player's Guide, Nintendo, 1996, p. 125</ref> He only appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', where he operates his own investigative headquarters in [[KAOS Kore]], "Baffle's Code Room". Baffle's name is shared with the word "baffle", which means to be confused. This accurately describes his role as a codebreaker.

Baffle originally wore a flower-patterned green shirt, white shorts, and green sneakers. He has long, brown hair tied into a ponytail, which is not seen in his official artwork. Baffle is the only Brothers Bear with hair on his head. He was redesigned in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, where he wears a typical beige detective outfit. This makes his role more obvious. It is unknown if he lost his hair, as his hat conceals his head.

In the original [[Super Nintendo]] version of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Baffle's Code Room resembled every other Brothers Bear's log cabin, but with a small bookshelf with books in it, presumably related to clue solving. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, the location was entirely overhauled and remodeled after a detective's office. It has a red lamp shining in the direction of [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]], a chair for Baffle's visitors to sit on, and two unidentifiable drawings behind him. One of the drawings shows an object spreading outward in a few directions.
Baffle is a self-proclaimed master at solving code. However he stumbles upon on a clue he cannot solve. He explains the problem to Dixie and Kiddy, and that he needs the [[Mirror (item)|Mirror]] to solve it. The [[Kong]]s can purchase the Mirror for fifty [[Bear Coin]]s at [[Bazaar's General Store]]. Alternatively, if they gave it to [[Barter]] in exchange for his [[No. 6 Wrench]], they can repurchase it from him for ten Bear Coins.

Every time Dixie/Kiddy show up at Baffle's after solving the code, his dialogue is selected from one of four sentences, either reversed or scrambled. The player can decipher these messages, which read "Hello Kongs! How are you today?", "How's it going good buddies!", "You've just wasted fifteen seconds", or "Haven't you got anything better to do?".
