After taking damage, Arich spits green balls at the two. After four hits, he is defeated. In the final blow, Arich blasts up, flips over, and becomes unconscious.
Arich Attack

Despite that, the battle is similar to Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'s, because of the barrel usage. First, Arich releases three balls of venom. The Kongs must jump on his head, causing him to bounce around at a much faster rate to try and crush them. It takes four hits for him to be defeated.
