Belcha is immune to all of [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]]'s ordinary attacks. To defeat Belcha, the [[Kong]]s must [[jump]] on the barrels Belcha spits out. These barrels contain [[Knik-Knak]]s inside of them. The Kongs must flip these Knik-Knaks on their backs by jumping on top of them and then throw them into Belcha's mouth. This causes Belcha to burp (hence his name), recoiling the barrel backwards. If the Kongs can cause Belcha to burp enough times, he will send himself straight into a nearby pit. He will then be stuck and unable to cause further harm to the Kongs. If the Kongs fail to defeat Belcha, he will eventually push the apes into a nearby pit (which has a turbine in it in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''Donkey Kong Country 3''). The minimum number of Knik-Knaks needed to be swallowed by Belcha in order to be beaten is two, if done quickly enough. He can be beaten in a matter of seconds. In the Game Boy Advance version of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', [[Cranky Kong]] states that Belcha would make good firewood.
Belcha is one of the only two bosses to not reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', the other one being [[Squirt (boss)|Squirt]].

Description

Belcha in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
The boss fight against Belcha

In Belcha's Barn, Belcha's height nearly goes from the floor to ceiling, thus preventing the Kongs from passing him. His attack pattern is spitting out a barrel at Dixie and Kiddy Kong, and then jumping forward, chattering its teeth a couple of times, and then spits out another barrel. Every barrel that Belcha spits out has a yellow Knik-Knak, and the lead Kong can attack Belcha by throwing it into its mouth. This causes Belcha to burp, propelling himself backward. By doing this a number of times (minimum being two Knik-Knaks if the Kongs are quick enough), the Kongs can send Belcha into a pit on the other end, thus defeating him. As Belcha jumps forward, he slowly pushes the Kongs toward a pit on the left.

In the Game Boy Advance port, Cranky Kong visits the Kongs after they defeat Belcha, whom he says would make good firewood.

One of the Banana Bird Caves is named "Belcha's Burrow". Despite having Belcha's name, this Banana Bird Cave is located a considerable distance away from Lake Orangatanga and can only be accessed by the Gyrocopter very late in the game.
