Donkey Kong 3 is an arcade game that features Donkey Kong and Stanley. Stanley is a bugman that comes to defeat Donkey Kong on the account that he broke into his greenhouse. Stanley will now have to use his bug spray to not only defeat Donkey Kong, but also kill all the bugs that DK let in. This is the first Donkey Kong game that doesn't feature Mario, and is the first one not to be a direct platformer, which could have led to its unsuccessful sells. Instead of being a platformer, it was rather a Shooting game.
