Squirt attacks by shooting out a large stream of water from its mouth, which can push Ellie off the arena rather than injure her directly. Squirt performs this attack slightly longer for each time it is hit. After doing this, Squirt briefly exposes its eyes out from the waterfall.

—Cranky Kong, Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)

Squirt is a large creature resembling a slug (although it has also been described as a "lizard-thing"[1]) who appears in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! as the boss of Cotton Top Cove. It is one of the game's two bosses to not return in Donkey Kong Land III, the other one being Belcha.

Squirt lives behind a waterfall, which is the setting for Squirt's boss level, Squirt's Showdown. 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). With each hit, Squirt uses this attack for a slightly longer duration. 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. When the Kongs defeat Squirt, it leaves behind one of the skis.

In the Game Boy Advance remake, 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, then after being hit again, it has both streams circle the area at different speeds. Additionally, when Squirt is defeated, its face falls off the waterfall, which also ceases to flow.
