Donkey Kong 3 (1984) is the third video game in the original Donkey Kong series, originally produced by Nintendo as an arcade game but later for the NES.
The story is that Donkey Kong has broken into Stanley the Bugman's greenhouse. He's hanging in the rafters stirring up nests of Buzzbees and Beespies, which will destroy Stanley's flowers in revenge. Armed with a can of fly spray, Stanley must destroy the bees and chase Donkey Kong away before he wrecks the whole greenhouse.
The game is very simplistic, requiring the player to gather points as the object rather than have any specific long-term goal in mind. There are three rounds, and once the player completes all three, he returns to the first. Throughout the levels are scattered various enemies: Buzzbees, beespies, queen bees which shatter into deadly pieces when destroyed, and creepy caterpillars. The bees attempt to steal Stanley's flowers, and the bees must be destroyed before reaching the plants. Donkey Kong himself hangs from two vines at the top of the screen. Spraying him drives him upwards and eventually off the screen to win the level.
Donkey Kong 3 was not as successful as the previous two games, perhaps because its game structure is dramatically different. In the previous games, the player controlled a character who walked and jumped and climbed across various levels while avoiding obstacles. This game, to contrast, was more of a shoot-em-up comparable to Galaga.
Ports
Because it was Nintendo game, it was ported to most of Nintendo's gaming systems, including the Game Boy Advance and the NES.
