Donkey Kong 3

About

Donkey Kong 3 is a fast-paced arcade game that mixes shooting and platforming. You play Stanley, a bugman armed with a sprayer, trying to stop Donkey Kong from wrecking his greenhouse. The goal is to blast Kong while fending off swarms of insects he’s unleashed. The action splits between spraying targets and navigating tight platform sections. Timing and quick reflexes are key as you balance between combat and movement. The game stands out for its quirky setting and tight controls. Set in a greenhouse, it uses a simple but effective visual theme that ties into its bug-spraying mechanics. While it lacks modern polish, its straightforward design and responsive handling have earned it a cult following among retro gaming fans. Released in 1983, it shows early Nintendo’s ability to blend creative ideas with accessible gameplay.

Storyline

Donkey Kong breaks into Stanley's greenhouse and goes to hang in the rafters where he stirs up nests of bugs, which will destroy Stanley's flowers in revenge. Armed with a Sprayer, Stanley must destroy the bees and chase Donkey Kong away before he eats all five of his flowers.
