Template:Quote2 Squirt is a large creature resembling a slug (although it has also been described as a "lizard-thing") who appears in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! as the boss of Cotton Top Cove. Here, Squirt lives behind a waterfall, which is the setting for Squirt's boss level, Squirt's Showdown. During his fight, Squirt attacks by shooting out a large stream of water from its mouth, which can push off Ellie (whom Dixie and Kiddy are transformed into for the whole battle). Squirt performs this attack slightly longer after each hit. After performing its attack, Squirt briefly exposes its eyes out from the waterfall. While Squirt's eyes are exposed, Ellie can attack it by drawing water into her trunk and then shooting at both of its eyes twice. This must be done three times to defeat Squirt, who then drops behind one of the skis in defeat.

In the Game Boy Advance version, the boss battle was slightly altered, as Squirt takes five hits to defeat. After the original three hits, Squirt begins shooting out two streams of water in opposite directions, and after another hit, Squirt has both streams circle the area at different speeds. Additionally, when Squirt is defeated, its face falls off the waterfall, which also stops flowing.
