| '''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. That overgrown [[barrel]] will make good firewood.}}</ref> | |

| One of the [[secret cave]]s is named "Belcha's Burrow". Despite having Belcha's name, this secret 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 immune to all of [[Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]]'s normal attacks. To defeat Belcha, the [[Kong]]s must [[jump]] on the barrels Belcha spits. These barrels contain [[Knik-Knak]]s inside. The Kongs must flip these Knik-Knaks on their backs by jumping on them, then these insects must be thrown into Belcha's mouth. This causes Belcha to burp, sending him backwards. If the Kongs can cause Belcha to burp enough times, he will send himself straight into a nearby pit. 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''). In the Game Boy Advance version of ''Doney Kong Coutry 3'', [[Cranky Kong]] states that Belcha would make good firewood. |
