In the blue and gray stages, he crawls down to the platforms from the plants along the side of the screen. Don't let them distract you from your efforts to force Donkey Kong up the vine, but don't get in their way either, or let them fly away with your plants.Ĭreepy - This worm likes to play interference. They will occasionally attack Stanley, or they will swoop down for his vegetables. They move erratically, so it's slightly difficult to predict where they are going to end up. Moth - The Moth is the mercenary of the bee hive, employed from round 24 and on.

Beetles do not pause as Buttiflies do, and attack immediately. They disappear after round 16, only to be replaced with Beetles in round 18, who are bigger and a bit harder to dodge. They fly down along the side of the screen until they are even with Stanley, pause for a brief moment, and then charge across the screen in an attempt to collide with him. You are only safe directly beneath them when they die.īuttifly & Beetle - Starting in round 6, the Buttiflies escape from the hive. When killed, they split up in to 4 tiny projectiles that can kill you if they connect. Even after you shoot them a second time, the threat isn't over. One shot isn't enough to do them in, it simply changes them from red to blue. Queen Bees - Starting in round 3, the Queen Bees of the hive will from time to time enter the fray surrounded by their royal escorts. Either bee may or may not be accompanying a Queen Bee, but they are dangerous either way. Buzzbees strike at Stanley more directly than Beespies. Starting in round 12, the hive switches to their faster and more aggressive soldiers, the Buzzbees. Stanley starts the game squaring off against the Beespies as they swoop down and try to steal Stanley's vegetables. It will not be replenished after it runs out until Stanley loses a life, so it's not a good idea to plan your strategy around it's use.īeespy & Buzzbee - These bugs are the primary attack force of the hive. When this spray is activated, Donkey Kong is forced up the vines much faster, Creepies die when hit, and Queen Bees die in one hit.

The Super Spray lasts for a number of seconds, and continues with Stanley to the next stage until the full time runs out.

When Stanley pushes Donkey Kong high enough so that his hand is touching the spray, the spray falls to the ground, at which time Stanley can pick it up. Super Spray - One time for every one of Stanley's lives, a more powerful bug spray will be perched on Donkey Kong's right vine. Starting in round 15, he will throw coconuts at you regardless of the stage. In the yellow stages, he even grabs coconuts from time to time and lobs them at Stanley's head. Occasionally, he will reach over to one of the two beehives along side him and tap them in order to send more bees after Stanley. If left alone, Donkey Kong slips down the vines little by little, hoping to land on Stanley by surprise. Donkey Kong attempts to keep himself above harm's way by hanging onto two vines that descend from the greenhouse ceiling. There are many ways for Stanley to lose a life, including touching an insect, getting shot by any of the bee stingers, running out of time, or allowing Donkey Kong to slip off the bottom of the vine.ĭonkey Kong - Nintendo's favorite simian seems to have been working out a little bit compared to his previous appearances. In order to complete each stage, Stanley's goal is to either push Donkey Kong all the way up the vine using bug spray, or defeat every insect present in that stage. Stanley primarily uses his bug spray to zap bugs or to make Donkey Kong scoot up the vines that he holds onto. When Stanley pumps his spray can, the spray travels a certain distance before dissipating so it's not useful against targets that are far away. Stanley - Stanley's job is to defend the greenhouse that Donkey Kong has invaded. Stanley must also spray Kong to force the ape to the top of the screen and complete the level. Instead, the player takes on the role of Stanley the Bugman, a gardener who is armed with a bug spray with which he must destroy the swarms of insects that attack him and try to steal his plants.Įach level has five plants that must be protected. Unlike the first two Donkey Kong games, the legendary character Mario is not featured in this game. The third and final arcade outing for Donkey Kong sees the giant ape once again cast as the enemy.
