You should especially mention how macabre Stanley's death animation is. If he gets hit by any of the bugs, he would scream in pain, followed by falling to the bottom of the stage. Every bug present on the screen would proceed to head towards Stanley and swarm all over him. After that, the only thing that remains is his bug sprayer, implying that the bugs had ATE Stanley!!!!! What makes this even darker is the tune that accompanies the moment that nothing is left of Stanley (except his bug sprayer) after he gets consumed by the creepy-crawlies, which is one of the darkest things that was heard from an arcade game.

I remember reading a comment that said that if Mario is Mickey, then Stanley is Oswald.

Maybe when the next mainline Mario game happens, Stanley will appear in some form like Pauline did after not appearing in any games besides the Mario vs donkey Kong series.

Everyone knows about Mario and Luigi… Some even know about Stanley… But no one knows Fabricio. He makes pizzas rather than fixing pipes

Donkey Kong 3 is actually my favorite of the OG trilogy. I actually think it's fairly underrated.

I actually think it would be cool if they brought Stanley back in Odyssey 2,i mean it would be awesome if they acknowledged Mario and Stanley's alleged familial connection,like to see if they are really cousins or not...

I'll admit, I never particularly cared for DK3, but this retrospective was fun to watch. I hope we can see Stanley in more games. I mean, if Foreman Spike is making a comeback in the Mario movie, why can't Stanley. Put him in Mario Kart or Mario Maker or something or hell, I'll take an assist trophy in Smash lol

Stanley looks like a Mario KZfaqr known as SMG4

I loved this game for a while when I first started using MAME with an arcade stick. Still fun to revisit every now and then.

I played Donkey Kong 3 for the fist time when its NES port launched on the NES Online on July 2019 for Nintendo Switch Online members. Prior to this, I was aware of what the game was about. I am a retro gaming enthusiast but, still, I was plesently surprised by how playable and enjoyable this game is. Its controls on NES Online really feel like they are from a modern 2021 indie game and not a 1983 famicom/arcade game. I think it's a remarkable game to play and replay. I am glad someone posted such a great and accurate review of it on KZfaq for once, for people to discover it for the first time.

Happy to see that you’re finally streaming Donkey Kong 3. Can we please just have the Newer SMBW review though as well?

Stanley The Bug Man is also a spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Let's hope for a Donkey Kong Arcade 1up Cabinet. Also Universal Studios haha.

Stanley kinda is a nintendo ip version of smg4

Glad to see Donkey Kong 3 getting the love that it rightfully deserves.

Also have to comment, it's great to see someone give this game a fair chance but also some love with more thorough coverage of its history and related games than I have ever seen anyone else give it.

One thing the arcade version had that the NES version didn’t was that the bugs would EAT STANLEY ALIVE! Combined with the death music, that must’ve scared some people.

Honestly this is my favorite of the trilogy (sorry DK Jr.) so it's nice seeing you review it!

I played DK3 a lot on Mame back in high school. I recently revisited the game when I built a 60 in 1 arcade cabinet last year. I play this game the most out of the DK trilogy.

I'm still so revolted at how the Mario Movie made up a bunch of random relatives for Mario and Luigi and they didn't even have the courtesy to add Stanley the Bugman onto the dinner scene, y'know the one family member that actually comes from the games (and the early ones too). Still have some hope that he can be in the sequel tho.

Hey, it's that guy who was a trophy in Smash Bros. Melee.

I knew there was a third donkey kong, but wtf. I've never seen gameplay 🤣 I'm very happy to hear it's good

​ @Demeech it is quite obscure but that game has a sequel of some sort... in mario paint. the worms kinda looks like early goombas.

everything about this channel is perfect, I love it and I will subscribe forever

I probably playd this more than any Donkey Kong game in the arcade (and played DK Jr. the most out of the NES ports). Used to play this all the time as a kid at the roller rink in the late 80s. My sister played it too. The last few times I went to my local pinball place, I played this on their multi-game arcade cabinet as a sort of cool-down break after playing a few pinballs, and before playing a few more.

Donkey Kong 3 is in my top 3 favorite arcade games. Its not a common cabinet , and I always get excited when I see it in the wild. It's peek classic Arcade IMHO

DK 3 is awesome. I really enjoyed the old sounds, look, the way the bugs looked, etc. It has amazing charm.

Nice timing. I'm currently addicted to DK and this video just popped up! XD

youtube thinks this is DKC3 for some reason

The true story is, donkey kong (now known as cranky kong) did too much trolling and jumpman (marios father) has to now stop him. Change my mind

Stanley is considered to be related to Mario in someway after DK3 Super Mario 64 Classified has an AI named Stanley taking the form of Mario. Coincidence?

I always loved Donkey Kong 3! Good video!

DK3 was one of the games my parents grabbed along with our nes. And I never knew until now that it was possible to kill all of the bugs.

As he shoot em up fan I really enjoyed this one when I played it on switch. It's like a galaga or a Satan's hallow.

Now bring Stanley back ! Great video

My interpretation of the Donkey Kong 3 timeline: Green House (Game & Watch, 1982) Donkey Kong 3 (Arcade/NES, 1983) Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch, 1984 (Immediately after the arcade game)) Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū (PC-6601/PC-8801/Sharp X1, 1984(Immediately after the arcade game AND the G&W))

Stanley could’ve easily made a cameo in New Donk City but he didn’t

I've loved Donkey Kong 3 ever since I played it when I was 8.

I actully quite like donkey kong 3,is a nice change to the original and donkey kong junior

10:07 donkey Kong looks like fnaf

Fun Fact: They did made a cartoon cameo of Stanley in the Saturday Supercade Donkey Kong ep title 'Greenhouse Gorilla' kzfaq.info/get/bejne/asuCZtWLur3Lo6s.html

I love this game. Once I played it I knew this game needed some more love same with Sky Skipper. Which is also a DK game. I'm happy these games are getting some love. They need it and I'm happy DK3 arcade is getting more and more love too. DK deserves it. I love Mario games but Donkey Kong games to me are more fun and the soundtracks is amazing 😍

now what if they dropped DK and the flowers, expanded on the shooting and enemy variety, and removed the jumping at the cost of verticality we'd get The Bug Butcher

Stanley became SMG4 in the nes version

Even more obscure is Donkey Kong Hockey.

I love this video. And covering such a niche game. U did a good job talking bout this old gem. Although id thought id say some fun facts bout masqitoes. They are an important part of the food chain and many animals depend on them. Also the babys eat algea keeping waters clean and diverse and some types of larvas only eat other types of other larvas. And they can come in a veriety of colors.

Stanley the Bugman at least got SOME acknowledgment in Smash Ultimate

Picture this, 1981, NYC, downtown Manhattan at the Delancey Street Pizza and Deli at New Roma Pizza. Thats where I first saw Donkey Kong arcade game and it was a blast! This this day when ever I smell any fresh cooked pizza I always think of DK:3

This is a pretty good game 😁 I used to play it in the arcades back in the day if I could find it.

I think Stanley is Mario’s cousin.

Stanley looks like SMG4

My headcanon is that Stanley is Pauline's brother and that DK targeted him because Mario and Pauline were on vacation

That Game and Watch DK remix is dope

Donkey Kong 3’s sound design sounds like firsts Kirby’s sound design.

I remember playing donkey Kong 3 in my old grandparents tv the weird part was that the tv had the game inside the tv itself, and the controller was the remote controller and you can bet it was the worst controller I had ever played a game with

Finally somebody admits Donkey Kong 3 la good

I honestly think its better then The original and jr

This guy has my taste

Donkey Kong is going to die soon. Gorillas have a life span of 40 years

I REALLY liked Donkey Kong 3 and not the other Donkey Kong games. It was one of my favorites. But I also enjoy Pac & Pal more than any Pacman game. So there is that...

I have that strange HudsonSoft PC version of Donkey Kong 3. It's quite interesting, it's very similar gameplay-wise but removes the platforming part entirely, making it REALLY similar to Galaga.

Can you post that hack that replaces Stanley with Mario somewhere? I'd love to play it!

"I always find it more fun when 2 players are playing together" cough* zelda. What?

I love this game!

Why your intro give me goosebumps like bro is so satasfying to hear this intro

DK3 is my favorite of the original arcade games

Fix it Felix the bug man and ralph the donkey Kong hehe if we didn't have donkey Kong we wouldn't have wreck it Ralph too

Uhm actually the blue stage is the first stage, the red stage is the second stage and the yellow stage is the third stage aka the finale

I played it. Before I saw this vid, Didn’t like the gameplay, but it is a more “not my thing” situation than a “bad game” situation.

Since you're doing reviews of Nintendo's early arcade games, do you think you'll ever review Nintendo's lesser known early arcade games like Sky Skipper or Popeye?

Wait, there are seriously Nintendo fans who don't know about this game?

I find it weird how people don't like dk3 but personally dk3 is my favorite out of the trilogy

i loved DK3

I'll see you tommorow / in 18 hours

Waluigi's a Brit, and you know it.

sometimes I feel like he says DA B****

Any thoughts about Nintendo shutting down Wii U and 3DS eShop next year? No more VC. No more free online. I consider if I should get Mario Advance 4 Mario 3 because it has eReader levels.

Hi,You Already Know About Donkey Kong But Have You Ever Heard Of A Sharp MZ-700 Game Called Donkey Gorilla?

That’s Mario’s cousin

1:12 music name?

Who else is watching this after they just got back from wawa

dk3 is the best

I was able to play Donkey Kong 3 at my local arcade. It’s not that great honestly in my opinion.

Stanley

review dk jr math

Thousandth like!

Nope the Mario games are the best 2d platformers
