Editing Belcha

[[Image:Belcha.jpg|thumb|'''Belcha''' the [[Barrel]].]]
'''Belcha the Barrel''' is a giant animate [[barrel]] and the boss of the area [[Lake Orangatanga]] in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', found in the level '''Belcha's Barn'''. He is the game's first boss.

Belcha is immune to all of [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]]'s ordinary attacks. To defeat Belcha, the [[Kong]]s must [[jump]] on the barrels Belcha spits out. These barrels contain [[Knik-Knak]]s inside of them. The Kongs must flip these Knik-Knaks on their backs by jumping on top of them, and then throw them into Belcha's mouth. This causes Belcha to burp, recoiling the monstrous barrel backwards. If the Kongs can cause Belcha to burp enough times, he will send himself straight into a nearby pit. He will then be stuck and unable to cause further harm to the Kongs. If the Kongs fail to defeat Belcha, he will eventually push the apes into a nearby pit (which has a turbine in it in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''Donkey Kong Country 3''). The minimum number of Knik-Knaks needed to be swallowed by Belcha in order to be beaten is two, if done quickly enough. He can be beaten in a matter of seconds. In the Game Boy Advance version of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', [[Cranky Kong]] states that Belcha would make good firewood.

==Trivia==
*One of the [[Banana Bird Cave]]s in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' is named "Belcha's Burrow". Despite having Belcha's name, this Banana Bird Cave is located a considerable distance away from Lake Orangatanga and can only be accessed by the [[Gyrocopter]] very late in the game.
*Belcha is one of the only two bosses from ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' to not reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', the other being [[Squirt]].
*The Belcha fight is similar to the [[Sluggy the Unshaven]] boss fight from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', in that if he is not defeated in time, the two protagonists will be shoved off the ledge to their doom.
*Though the boss battle against Belcha takes place inside of a mill, it originally had a factory background in the original SNES version for odd reasons. The background was changed in the GBA remake to a mill background to match with where the battle takes place.

-'''Belcha''', or '''Belcher''',<ref>{{cite|date=November 1996|author=Upchurch, Dave, et al.|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) Issue #50|page=84|publisher=EMAP|language=en-gb}}</ref> is a giant animate [[barrel]] and the first boss of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' Belcha has a large set of wooden teeth and large, red veins in its eyes. Belcha is one of the only two bosses who do not reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', the other one being [[Squirt (boss)|Squirt]]. Belcha is fought at the end of [[Lake Orangatanga]], in [[Belcha's Barn]], where it is shown that Belcha's height nearly goes from the floor to ceiling, thus preventing the Kongs from passing it. Belcha's repeated attack pattern consists of spitting out a [[barrel]] at [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]], and then jumping forward, chattering its teeth a couple of times. Belcha slowly pushes the Kongs toward a pit on the left. It can be attacked if the [[Kong]]s reveal a yellow [[Knik-Knak]] from the barrel and throw it into Belcha's opened mouth. After eating the Knik-Knak, Belcha burps (hence the name), propelling itself backward. Eventually, Belcha falls into a pit on the other end, therefore being defeated. Lastly, like other bosses in the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] only, [[Cranky Kong]] shows up to make a remark about Belcha.<ref>{{cite|author=[[Cranky Kong]]|format=[[Game Boy Advance]]|location=[[Belcha's Barn]]|date=2005|title=''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]''|publisher=[[Nintendo]]|quote=Well done, young [[Kong]]s.
