see arcade review for thoughts on the game play.
it's a pretty good port as far as i can tell, but generally less pretty to look at.

Game where you shoot up an ape's rear end.
It made my finger hurt. Kinda enjoy the pew pew more than the platforming on the other games shrugs
Way more fun than both previous games (and DK Junior Math lmao).
you shoot donkey kong with bug spray and get him attacked by bees
I think we all remember Stanley the Bugman fondly.
ughhh its boring i hate high score games. whatever. Its a game.
The fuck?
So this is barely even a Donkey Kong game, there’s no platforming or Mario whatsoever, you just play as this kid just spraying DK a bunch, it’s like pathetically easy as well.
Well that was shit……….but at least now I get to play Donkey Kong Country, an actual game that’ll last longer than ten minutes.

This is a rather weird diversion from the previous two DK games but it's a little fun in short bursts. It does get a bit too frantic later on
quando eu era criança ficava rindo da caras q os inimigos faziam e me questionava pq o cara ta borrifando água gelada no cu do macaco
Unsurprisingly changing a series' core gameplay isn't the best idea, as in this case it's no longer a Donkey Kong game and is now just a platform shooter which happens to have Donkey Kong in it.
Probably a worse game than the original DK, but more addicting for sure.
It is an alright game but plays like a mediocre 2d schmup. This game does not hold your attention for very long and i'm glad this format never returned.
More repetitive than its predecessors. Poor gameplay, suffering from the vagueness of weapon-generated knockback. Not very interesting, as the best strategy is always to ignore the adds and focus on Donkey Kong to finish the round as quickly as possible.
1/4 SMTDR
Dude, Donkey Kong 3 is weird. You're just this exterminator dude named Stanley, shooting bug spray up at DK, trying to make him climb the flowers? It's not awful, but it feels pretty different from the other DK games. I mean, it's fun in a cheesy way, but definitely not what I expected.
Tried on Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online, did not play for very long. It's an okay game, just not for me.
Bring Stanley back you cowards
This was my least favorite out of the Donkey Kong games.
Its not the worst thing ever, but not only is it repetitive, its also really goddamn short! I finished all the levels the game has to offer in less than 2 minutes, and didn't get a game over till loop 5, where the difficultly randomly increases. Pretty weak game.
Meh
This is unfortunately the worst of the DK original series. While the idea is good with the spray gun so that he goes in a bee hive, you will spend your time only mashing the spray gun button. I think they only put Donkry Kong in it because it would sell more copies.
Game #9 of my challenge

Um retrocesso comparando com os anteriores, mas ainda dá para se divertir.
donkey kong? 3?
It's impressive to me that each sequel to the original Donkey Kong is not only weaker than the original, but also incredibly dull. There is a reason why you don't hear much about Stanley and his fight with Donkey Kong, and that's because the game just isn't interesting to any degree.
While I appreciate the change of genre for the series, from platformer to shoot'em up; largely the game just has no creative level direction to it. Each level is nearly identical in look and feel, and the only real change is the top part making it harder to hit Donkey Kong. The game's premise also being shooting Donkey Kong up the butt in order to knock him into a beehive is also surprisingly unsatisfying. This mainly comes from two problems, the amount of effort you have to put into knocking DK into a beehive, and the repetitive nature the gameplay has. You also have the option to defend your flowers from the various bees and bugs DK is sending you, but you mostly just lose points if they get them. This means that if you care about points you'll engage in defending your flowers, but for the rest of us, this simply isn't worth it. See, the other crux to this game is that it's set on a pretty small timer, and the longer you take to knock DK in the beehive, the more time and points you waste. Adding this in with how hard DK is to knock up, makes for the main concentration of the game on a narrow platform right below DK. There is nothing to really incentive the player to protect the plants or engage with the rest of the level aside from avoiding death. Even a simple change of pressing a button to activate something or the plants giving you power ups if you save them all would have been enough. Sadly, DK3 just doesn't think past it's one idea and never expands on how it could have been better.

Donkey Kong 3 tem uma fórmula e proposta bem diferente dos anteriores. Ele traz um gameplay bem distinto com mecânicas e protagonistas próprios, apesar de reutilizar e firmar o papel do Donkey Kong como antagonista nessa primeira fase de sua carreira como franquia Nintendo.
Por ter seu design voltado pra arcades mais rudimentares da década de 80, seu loop é totalmente focado na repetição e pontuação, comum em diversos títulos da época.
Não tem nada de particularmente ruim no jogo, inclusive ele é um tanto acessível e divertido logo de cara, com um caráter fácil de viciar. Apesar disso, sua estrutura não surpreende e tampouco segura por muito tempo quem o jogar hoje em dia, serve muito mais como experiência do que algo pra se dedicar por horas e horas, mas isso vai de cada um, pois isso vale pra qualquer arcade, inclusive os modernos.
Imagino quão popular ele foi em sua época.

Absurdly easy and a massive gameplay departure from the previous entries. But also still fun with a weird charm. Stanley for Smash, he needs to fumigate Lylat Cruise.
I feel like this is the weakest of the original arcade trilogy, although it's definitely a different game. It's a weird platforming-shooter that actually gets pretty brutal later on.
I appreciate that they went for a different idea here, but this gets old FAST. I saw everything this game had to offer in a shorter amount of time than the original Donkey Kong, and that only had four levels!
A big departure to be sure but I think it's pretty fun
