| '''Barbos''' is a giant [[Lurchin]] and a boss appearing in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. | |

| Barbos is inconsistently gendered, since the ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]] refers to Barbos as a female,<ref>{{cite|author=Owsen, Dan, Terry Munson, and Paul Shinoda|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''

| [[File:BarbosSNES.png|thumb|left|The boss fight against Barbos in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'']] | | [[Image:Barbos2.jpg|left|frame|'''Barbos''' the Sea Lurchin, in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''.]] |
| In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', Barbos is the boss of the sixth world, [[Razor Ridge]], where she is encountered in her own level, [[Barbos's Barrier]]. Since Barbos is underwater, [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] can only fight her after transforming into [[Enguarde]]. In the battle, Barbos first attacks by sending Lurchins after Enguarde, who can stab the Lurchins into the spiked balls protecting Barbos. Once the spiked balls are out of the way, Enguarde can stab into Barbos's soft body. After being hit, Barbos descends to a lower level and begins targeting Enguarde with [[missile shell]]s. Enguarde must also lure the missile shells into the spiked balls protecting Barbos. After getting rid of them, Enguarde can stab Barbos again. On the final and lowest floor, Barbos shoots spikes at Enguarde. After avoiding the spikes, Enguarde has to quickly go up to Barbos and stab it. After stabbing Barbos two more times, Barbos is defeated, and she releases a [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]], or a [[bear coin]] in rematches.
| | Barbos first appears in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' as the boss of the area [[Razor Ridge]], in a level called '''Barbos Barrier'''. Due to the fact Barbos lives underwater in a blood-red lake [[Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] can only fight Barbos by transforming into [[Enguarde|Enguarde the Swordfish]]. |
|
| |
|
| In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Barbos and her domain were relocated to the end of [[Pacifica]], with [[Kroctopus]] taking over her position as the boss of Razor Ridge and the background of the level being blue instead of red. In this version, Enguarde only has to hit Barbos four times to defeat her, more specifically by stabbing it twice on the third and lowest floor.
| | Barbos will first attack the Kongs turned swordfish by sending her Lurchin children after them. Enguarde must smash these Lurchins into the spiked balls protecting Barbos. Once these balls are out of the way Enguarde can smash Barbos's soft body. |

| | After being hit Barbos will drop down and begin to shoot shell missiles at Enguarde. Enguarde must lure these shell missiles into the spiked balls protecting Barbos, once the spiked balls are out of the way again Enguarde can hit Barbos again. |

| |
| In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Barbos is the boss of the first world, [[Cape Codswallop]], where she is fought at [[Barbos Bastion]]. Like in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', the Kongs are forcefully transformed into Enguarde, who must launch three Lurchins into Barbos's face to defeat it. Each time Barbos is hit, it fires three Lurchin shells at Enguarde.

| ==Names in other languages== | | In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Barbos is moved to the new area, [[Pacifica]]. [[Kroctopus]] takes Barbos's place as the boss of Razor Ridge. In this version, it takes four hits to defeat Barbos, while in the [[Super Nintendo]] version it takes five. This is because during the attack where Barbos shoots her stingers, one of the three is cut. |
