Benny is a member of the Brothers Bear who appears in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! Benny operates one of the chairlifts in Razor Ridge, alongside his twin brother Björn.[1] Benny and Björn are named after the ABBA members and songwriters Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus respectively. Benny's dialogue during his initial meeting with the Kongs also references the ABBA song "Take a Chance on Me".

History

Benny has a minor role, moreso than the other Brothers Bears, as he does not have a problem requiring Dixie and Kiddy Kong's help to resolve, or is a key for solving a puzzle. He allows the Kongs to use his chairlift service at no cost, which the Kongs are required to use to cross over Barbos's lake and continue to the next level.
