| The '''Sprayer''' (alternatively lowercase),<ref>{{Cite|title=MICRO VS. SYSTEM DONKEY KONG 3 instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1984|page=6}}</ref> also known as the '''spray gun'''<ref>GREEN HOUSE instruction, page 8.</ref> or '''{{wp|insect repellent|insect repellant}}''',<ref>''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', Stanley's [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]]</ref> is [[Stanley]]'s weapon of choice throughout his scarce appearances, as well as [[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s primary weapon in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] based on its original appearance in ''[[Greenhouse|Green House]]''. | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===''Green House''===
| |
| In its first appearance, the spray gun can be sprayed an unlimited number of times. It is used to kill the inchworms and spiders that try to destroy Stanley's flowers before they do so.
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Donkey Kong 3''=== | | ==Appearances== |
| In ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'', Stanley must use the Sprayer against [[Donkey Kong]] as well as the angry bees and other insects that will try to destroy his [[flower (Donkey Kong 3)|flower]]s. Once again, it can be sprayed an unlimited number of times. Its power can also be amplified by equipping the [[Super Sprayer]], which changes the insecticide to a yellow color; however, this is only a temporary power-up.
| | ===''[[Greenhouse]]''=== |
| | In this game the Bug-Spray Gun has no limit to the number of times it can be sprayed, and it is used to kill Worms and Spiders that are trying to destroy flowers. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Donkey Kong 3'' (Game & Watch)=== | | ===''[[Donkey Kong 3]]''=== |
| In the [[Game & Watch]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong 3]]'', in the same fashion as in the arcade game, Donkey Kong stirs up nests of [[Buzzbee|bee]]s, so Stanley is required to use his sprayer to combat Donkey Kong, who now has one of his own. The spray works differently here, as shots trap the bees and cause them to fly towards the opponent. The sprayers have to constantly be refilled with insecticide by a dripping pipe nearby. While refilling the sprayer, the player is left defenseless.
| | Here, Stanley uses the weapon against bees and [[Donkey Kong]]. It, again, has no limit to the number of times it can spray. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Saturday Supercade''=== | | ===''[[Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch)]]''=== |
| The Sprayer also appears in the ''[[Saturday Supercade]]'' episode "[[Greenhouse Gorilla]]," which is also the only episode in the show that Stanley appears in. Unlike in the games, there is one scene in the episode where the Sprayer discharges all of its bug spray at once and subsequently runs out afterwards.
| | This time Stanley uses his Bug-Spray Gun to combat Donkey Kong, who now has one of his own. The Bug-Spray Guns here do not have an unlimited capacity of spray and sprays water bubbles rather than bug spray, which are used to capture bees and push them towards the opponent. It constantly needs to be refilled by a dripping pipe near by. |

| | ===''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''=== |
| ===''Super Smash Bros.'' series=== | | In this game the weapon belongs not to Stanley the Bugman but to [[Mr. Game & Watch]], who uses it as his standard attack. It returns to it's unlimited spray form. |
| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the insect repellant belongs to Mr. Game & Watch, who uses it as his standard attack. The attack performed by it is called '''Greenhouse''', and it deals 1–3% of damage.<ref>https://www.ssbwiki.com/Mr._Game_&_Watch_(SSBM)</ref> | |
|
| |
|
| The Greenhouse attack returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' in the series and continues to be used as a trademark attack. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Mr. Game & Watch's appearance changes while he uses his standard attack.
| | ===''[[Game & Watch Gallery Advance]]''=== |
| | In a remake of the Game & Watch version of ''Donkey Kong 3'', [[Mario]] uses the Bug-Spray Gun against Donkey Kong. Once again it sprays bubbles and needs to be refilled with water. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Game & Watch Gallery 4''=== | | ===''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''=== |
| In the Modern version of the Game & Watch version of ''Donkey Kong 3'' in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', [[Mario]] uses the repellant to push [[Fireball (obstacle)|fireball]]s and [[Boo]]s towards Donkey Kong. It sprays bubbles and needs to be refilled with water.
| | The Bug Spray Gun is used again by Mr. Game & Watch. |
