| '''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 forms of [[Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]]'s attacks, making the Kongs (and the player) think of an alternate attack strategy. To defeat Belcha the Kongs must jump on the barrels Belcha spits, these barrels inexplicably contain [[Knik-Knak]]s. The Kongs must flip these Knik-Knaks on they're back by jumping on them, these Knik-Knaks must then be thrown into Belcha's mouth. Having Knik-Knaks thrown into his mouth will cause Belcha to burp, sending him backwards. If players can cause Belcha to burp enough times he will burp himself strait into a nearby pit and be defeated and possibly used as firewood by [[Cranky Kong]]. |
