-'''Belcha''' is a giant animate [[barrel]] and the boss of [[Lake Orangatanga]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', found in the level [[Belcha's Barn]]. He is the game's first boss.
+[[File:Belcha DKC3 battle.png|thumb|left|The boss fight against Belcha]]
+'''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 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.
+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.
