Donkey Kong 3 is a classic arcade machine shooter game released in 1983. The main objective revolves around protecting a greenhouse by using a bug spray to fend off Donkey Kong and various insects. Players control Stanley, a bug exterminator, who must push Donkey Kong to the top of the screen while preventing bugs from damaging the flowers below.
The game’s pace is fast and requires quick reflexes to spray enemies effectively. A unique mechanic involves spraying multiple targets simultaneously and using the environment to strategically trap Donkey Kong temporarily. Unlike traditional platformers in the Donkey Kong series, this title emphasizes shooting rather than jumping or climbing.
Donkey Kong 3’s unusual idea of combining a shooter gameplay style with the established Donkey Kong character makes it distinctive. The use of bug spray as a weapon instead of conventional firearms adds a quirky twist to the arcade shooter genre on this early 1980s platform.
