🕹 Game Introduction:
Donkey Kong’s back again — but this time, you're Stanley the Bugman trying to spray him out of your greenhouse!
🕹 Game Description:
Armed with bug spray, you must fend off waves of insects and force Donkey Kong to retreat to the top of the screen. Protect your plants and don’t let DK drop too low!
🎴 Game Play:
👉 🏻 Shoot insects before they reach your plants
👉 🏻 Use power sprays to push DK upward faster
👉 🏻 Clear stages by forcing DK off-screen
👉 🏻 Enemies drop power-ups and hazards
📕 Background & History:
An oddball entry in the DK saga, Donkey Kong 3 was an attempt to innovate with shooter mechanics. It wasn’t as successful but still became a staple in arcades.
🐣 Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs:
👉 🏻 Hold fire at stage start for frame-perfect spraying
👉 🏻 Power spray resets bug pattern temporarily
👉 🏻 In some cabinets, rapid-fire could bug out DK's climbing logic
🐱 💻 Hacks:
👉 🏻 Infinite spray hack ROMs exist
👉 🏻 “No DK Mode” removes DK and leaves you with bugs only
🎉 Trivia:
👉 🏻 Only Donkey Kong game without Mario or Jr.
👉 🏻 Stanley only appears in this and Super Smash Bros. as a spirit
👓 Lonster's Review:
“Underrated weirdness. Spraying bugs and pushing DK off-screen is pure arcade insanity.”
🌟 Legacy:
The black sheep of the DK series but admired today for its experimentation and chaotic gameplay.
✨ Cultural Impact:
Didn’t hit like its predecessors, but Stanley became a meme-worthy underdog in retro circles.
💭 Lonster's Final Thoughts:
It’s funky, frantic, and fun. Give Stanley his flowers!
