In this game, Stanley uses his [[sprayer|spray gun]] to defeat hungry pests. He later appeared in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] as the protagonist of the game ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]'', in which he battles with [[Donkey Kong]] and several insects in a greenhouse with his spray. Stanley also battles Donkey Kong in ''[[Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū]]''.
 
'''Stanley the Bugman''' is a bug exterminator and the protagonist of the game ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]''. In this game Stanley uses his Bug-Spray Gun to do battle with [[Donkey Kong]] (or [[Cranky Kong]]) and several insects in a greenhouse. Eventually Stanley managed to defeat Donkey Kong and presumably sent him back to where he came from.
 
==History==
==History==
===''Green House''===
===[[Greenhouse]]===
While the ''Green House'' manual refers to the playable character only as the "'''Fumigator''',"<ref>{{cite|archive=web.archive.org/web/20221127122702/http://www.intheattic.co.uk/greenhouse.htm|deadlink=y|title=''Greenhouse'' info page|publisher=In The Attic|language=en-gb}}</ref> print ads and TV commercials refer to Stanley the Bugman by name.<ref name=TFNY/><ref>{{cite|url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdGGhQEgDGA|title=Nintendo Game & Watch commercial|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=January 15, 2023}}</ref><ref name=G&Wcatalog/> Stanley must defend his plants from inchworms and spiders that seek to devour his flowers. Unlike his later depictions, he appears much taller in character artwork. He wears a white cap, a red shirt, and khaki trousers. Stanley also appears in the game's port included in ''[[Game & Watch Collection]]''.
[[Image:Green House Artwork.jpg|thumb|left|Artwork of ''Greenhouse''.]]
In this game, many bugs had infested Stanley's green house and he had to try and protect his plants from [[Spider]]s and [[Worm]]s. He did this by spraying them with his weapon, a [[Bug-Spray Gun]].
<br clear=all>


===''Donkey Kong'' series===
===[[Donkey Kong 3]]===
====''Donkey Kong 3''====
[[Image:Donkey Kong 3 Screen Shot.gif|thumb|right|''Donkey Kong 3'']]
[[File:DK3 Arcade Blue Greenhouse.png|thumb|''Donkey Kong 3'']]
This time not only had insects infested his green house but also [[Donkey Kong]] (Possibly a younger [[Cranky Kong]]) was trying to cause damage. Donkey Kong would pester bees in there hives to attack Stanley. Stanley would spray Donkey Kong with his Bug-Spray Gun (who was hanging from two vines) and he would be pushed upward by it and eventually end up with his head stuck in a beehive at the top of all the vines.
Stanley reappears as the protagonist of ''[[Donkey Kong 3]]''. Stanley works as a simple fumigator when [[Donkey Kong]] and various insects attack his greenhouse. In order to put a stop to Donkey Kong, Stanley needs to spray him and the insects with his [[sprayer]] while also trying to keep the bugs away from his plants. After pushing Donkey Kong up into a [[beehive]], Donkey Kong flees to another greenhouse and Stanley chases after him in order to continue driving him off. In the arcade version, the bugs eat Stanley if he is defeated by one, while in the [[Arcade Classics Series|Family Computer version]], the bugs do not eat him, and instead simply disappear. His current appearance of being short, round-faced, bucktoothed, and clad in overalls is established in this game.
<br clear=all>


====''Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū''====
===[[Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch)]]===
Stanley is once again the protagonist of the 1984 game ''[[Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū]]''. His role is very similar to ''Donkey Kong 3'' in that he must spray Donkey Kong to the top of the screen and while also blasting the invading bees, although this time there are no plants to protect, nor are there any multi-level platforms. These changes make for something that is somewhat akin to ''{{wp|Galaga}}''.
[[Image:Donkey Kong 3 screenshot.gif|thumb|left|''Donkey Kong 3'' (Game & Watch)]]
Stanley's green house was again attacked by Donkey Kong, who this time had a Bug-Spray Gun (The Bug-Spray Guns in this game where more slightly different as they sprayed bubbles of water rather than clouds of bug spray) of his own. Donkey Kong and Stanley both stood at opposite ends of the green house and sprayed the bug spray at bees to move them toward one another. After sending the bees to Donkey Kong and them stinging him enough times, Donkey Kong eventually left again.
<br clear=all>


====''Donkey Kong 3'' (Game & Watch)====
==Other Appearances==
In the [[Game & Watch]] game ''[[Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong 3]]'', Stanley and Donkey Kong, who now uses his own sprayer, are at opposite ends of the greenhouse, where they spray at the [[Buzzbee|bee]]s to move them toward one another and get them to sting the other.
===[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]===
Stanley appears as a playable character in this game in a port of ''[[Greenhouse]]'' as one of it's many ports of Game and Watch games. It also features a modernised version. However in the moderised version it was [[Yoshi]] rather than Stanley, protecting plants, and from [[Fly Guy|Fly Guys]] and [[Ukiki|Ukikis]] rather than worms and spiders. It also was set on an ouside area on [[Yoshi Island]] rather that Stanley's green house.


===''Saturday Supercade''===
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[File:Stanleycade.png|thumb|left|Stanley as he appears in "Greenhouse Gorilla"]]
Stanley appears in this game as one of the many collectable trophies. Also [[Mr. Game and Watch]] uses Stanley's Bug Sprayer as a weapon.
Stanley makes an appearance in the television series ''[[Saturday Supercade]]'', in the ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' episode "[[Greenhouse Gorilla]]," where he is the owner of [[Stanley's Nursery]]. Here he is seen taking care of a carnivorous plant called [[Herman (Saturday Supercade)|Herman]], but then a thief (only referred once as [[Mr. X]]) steals it while Stanley is occupied with spraying a bug. The thief then convinces Donkey Kong that Stanley is the one who wanted to hurt the plant, so he starts throwing beehives at him. Once again, Stanley is too occupied fighting the bugs and lets the thief and Donkey Kong run away with Herman. Stanley then joins forces with [[Mario]] and [[Pauline]] and starts chasing them. After a confrontation at a supermarket, and one at a manor where a "grand ball" is taking place, Pauline convinces Donkey Kong that the thief is the evil one, so they finally defeat him with the [[Kong]]'s help. The thief is finally arrested and Herman returns to Stanley, but Donkey Kong runs away once again.

===''Game & Watch Gallery'' series===
===[[Game & Watch Gallery Advance]]===
[[File:G&WG4 Donkey Kong 3.png|frame|right|The Classic version of ''[[Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch)|Donkey Kong 3]]'' (''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'')]]
Stanley appears in this game as a playable character in a port of ''[[Donkey Kong 3|Donkey Kong 3 (Game and Watch)]]'' which is one of the many Game and Watch games ported into this game. A modernized version is featured, however it is set in a [[Ghost House]] rather than Stanley's green house, [[Mario]] replaces Stanley and [[Boo|Boos]] and [[Fireball|Fireballs]] replace the Bees.
In the [[Game & Watch Gallery (series)|''Game & Watch Gallery'' series]], Stanley is first seen in the [[Museum]]'s ''Green House'' exhibit in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]''. He also appears in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]''{{'}}s Classic version of ''Greenhouse'', although the Modern version replaces him with a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', Stanley is playable in the Classic version of the Game & Watch game ''Donkey Kong 3''; however, the Modern version replaces him with [[Mario]].


===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
===[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]===
Stanley appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as one of the many collectible [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophies]]. His overalls are white instead of red but his shirt remains blue, like how his sprite looks in the NES port. [[Mr. Game & Watch]] also uses the sprayer as a weapon called ''Greenhouse'', matching its first appearance, and continues to use it in later games in the series as his neutral attack.
Stanley appears as a playable character in one of [[9-Volt|9-Volt's]] [[Micro Games]]. In this he must do as he did in ''Donkey Kong 3'' and spray him until he goes up and gets his head stuck in a bee hive.


In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Stanley appears as a [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]]. In this game, Mr. Game & Watch's ''Greenhouse'' attack transforms him into Stanley's ''Green House'' sprite.
===[[WarioWare: Touched!]]===
Stanley appears in one of 9-Volt's Microgames. Here instead of spraying Donkey Kong with his Bug Sprayer, he blew clouds out of his mouth to make him move into a bee hive.


===''WarioWare'' series===
===[[Game & Watch Collection]]===
Stanley makes various cameos in the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', Stanley is playable in [[Donkey Kong 3 (WarioWare: Twisted!)|Donkey Kong 3]], where he has to spray Donkey Kong until he gets his head stuck in a beehive. In ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', Stanley is playable in another microgame titled [[Donkey Kong 3 (WarioWare: Touched!)|Donkey Kong 3]], where instead of spraying Donkey Kong, Stanley blows clouds out of his mouth to move him up into a beehive. In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'', Stanley appears in the microgame [[Greenhouse (microgame)|Greenhouse]], where he has to defend his plants from two worms. In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', Stanley is playable in [[DK 3]], where the objective is identical as the Donkey Kong 3 microgame in ''WarioWare: Twisted!''
An exact port of ''Greenhouse'' is playable along with ''[[Donkey Kong| Donkey Kong (Game and Watch)]]'' and ''[[Oil Panic]]''.


===Other appearances===
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
