Belcha, or Belcher,[1] 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. 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 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 Kongs 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 remake only, Cranky Kong shows up to make a remark about Belcha.[2]
One of the secret caves 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.
