Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

Enguarde fights Barbos in Donkey Kong Country 3.

In Donkey Kong Country 3, Barbos is the boss of Razor Ridge, in the level Barbos's Barrier. The boss level takes place in a lake appearing to have a scowling face on it on the map. As Barbos lives underwater, Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong can only fight her by transforming into Enguarde the Swordfish.

Barbos first attacks the swordfish by sending her Lurchin children after him. Enguarde must stab the Lurchins into the spiked balls protecting Barbos. Once out of the way, Enguarde can stab into Barbos's soft body.

After being hit, Barbos drops down to the next level and begins shooting Missile Shells at Enguarde. 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 must quickly go up to Barbos and stab her. After stabbing Barbos two more times, Barbos is defeated.

When Barbos is defeated, she releases a Bonus Coin (or a Bear Coin in rematches). However, even when defeated, Barbos can still hurt Enguarde if he swims into her.

In the Game Boy Advance port, Barbos was relocated to the newly added world, Pacifica. Kroctopus takes Barbos's place as the boss of Razor Ridge. In this version, Enguarde only has to hit Barbos four times to defeat her, more specifically by stabbing her twice on the third and lowest floor.
