While Björn's chairlifts are not a part of the main path in Razor Ridge, they do connect to a cliff in the northwest section of the area, where a [[Banana Bird Cave]] lies. Unfortunately, Björn's chairlifts are broken by a [[Kremling]]<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' Player's Guide, Nintendo, 1996, p. 5</ref>, and he is unable to fix them, for he lost his [[No. 6 Wrench]]. If [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] do some searching, they will learn that the No. 6 Wrench found its way into [[Barter]]'s hands. If the [[Kong]]s manage to haggle the wrench away from Barter, they can give it to Björn, who can then use it to repair his chairlifts, giving the Kongs free access to the Banana Bird Cave.
When first meeting Björn, he tells [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] that his chairlifts are non-operational and that he cannot repair them because he lent his [[No. 6 Wrench]] to [[Barter]], who never returned it to him. When the [[Kong]]s recover the wrench, they can provide it to Björn. He repairs his chairlifts, allowing the Kongs to access the world's [[Banana Bird Cave]], "Clifftop Cache".
 
Like Benny, Björn's name was also derived from a member of the Swedish pop group {{wp|ABBA}}, {{wp|Björn Ulvaeus}}. "Björn" is also a Swedish word that refers to a "bear".
