The fight takes place on a mountainside in front of a waterfall. The battle arena consists of six platforms, three on each side of the waterfall, forming a hexagon shape. Squirt attacks from behind the waterfall, above and in between the two uppermost platforms. The [[Kong]]s spawn on top of an [[Animal Barrel|Ellie Barrel]], causing them to transform into Ellie as soon as the battle starts. Squirt's only means of offense is to shoot slowly rotating streams of water from its mouth in an attempt to push Ellie off the edge. In between its attacks, Squirt's eyes will become vulnerable. Ellie must absorb water from the waterfall and shoot water into each of Squirt's eyes to force them shut. Each eye needs to be squirted twice; once both are shut, Squirt takes damage and its eyes reopen. The process must be repeated two more times to defeat Squirt. After the first hit, Squirt starts shooting water for longer periods of time, and after the second hit, its streams start rotating slightly faster. The Kongs are rewarded with a [[ski]] after Squirt goes down, or a [[bear coin]] if Squirt is fought again. It is still possible to lose a life at this point, as they can fall off the stage while trying to collect the ski or bear coin.

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Squirt's water streams are less powerful, allowing Ellie to more easily resist being pushed off the edge by them. However, they rotate much faster than in the SNES version. Squirt's eyes must now be closed five times instead of just three. After the third hit, Squirt will shoot two streams of water at once, with each one spraying in opposite directions and rotating at the same speed. After the fourth hit, Squirt shoots two streams of water rotating at different speeds. Once defeated, Squirt falls and the waterfall disappears.
