Donkey Kong 3

Donkey Kong 3 is the third video game in the original Donkey Kong series by Nintendo. Released near simultaneously for the Family Computer and arcade, and later released in America on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1986. The game was re-released on the Wii Virtual Console in North America on July 14, 2008 and in Europe on January 9, 2009. Although it is a sequel, this title is a radical departure in gameplay from previous titles.

Story

Stanley is a bugman. Donkey Kong has taken refuge in his greenhouse and it is now up to him to stop the ape from stirring up any more insects that will soon destroy his flowers.

Gameplay

The game is a simplistic shooter which actually incorporates many ideas from an older game entitled Space Firebird and adapts them into a new setting, which consists of only three repeating rounds, requiring the player to defend flowers as the objective rather than have any specific long-term goal in mind. Throughout the levels are scattered various enemies: Buzzbees, beespies, queen bees (which shatter into deadly pieces when destroyed), creepy caterpillars, butterflies, beetles, moths, beebombs and vine eaters. Stanley, who wears suspenders similar to the previous protagonist, Mario, must destroy the insects as they attempt to steal his flowers. Donkey Kong himself hangs from two vines at the top of the screen. Continuously using bug-spray on him will force him upwards and eventually to the top of the screen to complete the level. Killing all the bugs will also cause Donkey Kong to exit the screen and the game will go to next level. Typically, the vine grasped by Donkey Kong's left hand holds the super spray can, which will drop to the ground if the ape climbs high enough that his hand knocks it loose; this spray can forces Donkey Kong upwards at a much faster rate than the standard version, but it only lasts for a certain number of shots and only appears at the start of each "life".

Anyone beat this game??

Xander · 10-23-2009, 02:06 AM

I never played it, but I've seen some pictures and looked pretty fun.

Fyree the Spirit God · 10-23-2009, 02:09 AM

its another one of those "TRIAL AND ERROR" 80's Nintendo games..
where I think they tried something out--and if it didnt pan out well--they dropped the concept..
We can ALL be thankful for THIS game--and "Wrecking Crew"--2 game concepts that failed--so Nintendo focused more on MARIO

Wrecking Crew was awesome man, that was such an underrated game, btw, Donkey Kong 3 was'nt bad either, though i still prefer Donkey Kong jr.!
