History

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

The boss fight against Barbos inDonkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

InDonkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, Barbos is the boss of the sixth world,Razor Ridge, where she is encountered in her own level,Barbos's Barrier. Since Barbos is underwater,Dixie andKiddy can only fight her after transforming intoEnguarde. In the battle, Barbos first attacks by sending Lurchins after Enguarde, who can stab the Lurchins into the spiked balls protecting Barbos. Once the spiked balls are out of the way, Enguarde can stab into Barbos's soft body. After being hit, Barbos descends to a lower level and begins targeting Enguarde withmissile shells. Enguarde must also lure the missile shells into the spiked balls protecting Barbos. After getting rid of them, Enguarde can stab Barbos again. On the final and lowest floor, Barbos shoots spikes at Enguarde. After avoiding the spikes, Enguarde has to quickly go up to Barbos and stab her. After stabbing Barbos two more times, Barbos is defeated, and she releases aBonus Coin, or abear coin in rematches.

In theGame Boy Advance version, Barbos and her domain were relocated to the end ofPacifica, withKroctopus taking over her position as the boss of Razor Ridge and the background of the level being blue instead of red. In this version, Enguarde only has to hit Barbos four times to defeat her, more specifically by stabbing her twice on the third and lowest floor.

Donkey Kong Land III

Each time Barbos is hit, she fires three Lurchin shells at Enguarde.
