series Game & Watch version of the arcade game has different gameplay.
IGN gave the Virtual Console version a 6.0 out of 10, describing it as a "radical departure" from the previous Donkey Kong games, calling it "repetitive". Retrospectively, reception has been divisive, with criticism aimed at its departure of its predecessors and the lack of Mario. Computer and Video Games said that the game's "fast action and superior sound effects" made Donkey Kong 3 a "sure hit" in arcades. Gene Lewin of Play Meter magazine rated it 8 out of 10. Reviews for the arcade game were generally positive. Despite this, it was a commercial failure in North America, particularly due to the wake of the video game crash of 1983. The game was moderately successful in Japan, where Game Machine listed Donkey Kong 3 on their December 1, 1983, issue as being the fourth most-successful new table arcade unit of the month. Stanley saves the flowers by spraying bug spray on Donkey Kong and exterminating all of the attacking bees. An extra life is given at 50,000 points, and then the game goes to "survival of the fittest" mode thereafter.ĭonkey Kong has begun rampaging in Stanley's greenhouse garden and it's up to him to stop the ape from stirring up any more insects that will soon destroy his flowers. There are three levels which repeat in a fixed sequence. Lost flowers decrease the bonus at the end of the round. Some of the flying insects attempt to pick up the flowers at the bottom of the screen and carry them away. The insects consist of Buzzbees, queen Beespies (which shatter into deadly pieces when destroyed), Creepy inchworms, Attacker bees, Kabutomushi beetles, and Butterflies. It only spawns at the start of each life. The Super Sprayer only lasts for a limited amount of time, but it pushes Donkey Kong upward at a much faster rate, making it easier to complete the level. A Super Sprayer can on the vines falls down when Donkey Kong is sprayed past it.
A level is completed by continually using his sprayer on Donkey Kong, forcing him to the top of the screen, or by killing all of the bugs. Stanley can fire bug spray at both Donkey Kong and insects flying around the levels. Donkey Kong hangs from vines at the center of the screen, and the player-controlled Stanley the exterminator runs and jumps on platforms beneath him.
