'''Belcha''' (referred to as '''Belcher''' in a preview)<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) Issue #50, page 84.</ref> 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 (boss)|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 Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]], and then jumping forward, chattering its teeth a couple of times. Belcha can be attacked if the [[Kong]]s throw the yellow [[Knik-Knak]] revealed from the barrel into Belcha's mouth while its teeth are not in the way. 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. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|version]], [[Cranky Kong]] shows up after Belcha is defeated, just like with later bosses, and mentions that Belcha would make for useful firewood. However, during the boss fight, as Belcha jumps forward, it slowly pushes the Kongs toward a pit on the left.


Belcha is immune to all forms of [[Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]]'s attacks, making the Kongs (and the player) think of an alternate attack strategy. To defeat Belcha the Kongs must jump on the barrels Belcha spits, these barrels inexplicably contain [[Knik-Knak]]s. The Kongs must flip these Knik-Knaks on they're back by jumping on them, these Knik-Knaks must then be thrown into Belcha's mouth. Having Knik-Knaks thrown into his mouth will cause Belcha to burp, sending him backwards. If players can cause Belcha to burp enough times he will burp himself strait into a nearby pit and be defeated and possibly used as firewood by [[Cranky Kong]].
One of the [[secret cave]]s 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.

If players fail to defeat Belcha he will eventually push the Kongs into a nearby pit, which has a turbine in it in the Game Boy Advance version of ''Donkey Kong Country 3''.
