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 first appears in the 1982 [[Game & Watch]] game ''[[Greenhouse|Green House]]''. While the manual refers to the playable character only as the "Fumigator,"<ref>[http://www.intheattic.co.uk/images/G&W/Review/Greenhouse/Greenhouse_GH-54_Page10-11.jpg Instruction manual for ''Greenhouse''].</ref> print ads and TV commercials refer to him by name.<ref name=TFNY/><ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdGGhQEgDGA Nintendo Game & Watch commercial] ''YouTube''. Retrieved 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 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|NES 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.

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}}''.

In the [[Game & Watch]] version of [[Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch)|''Donkey Kong 3'']], Stanley's greenhouse is again attacked by Donkey Kong, who this time has a sprayer of his own. Donkey Kong and Stanley stand at opposite ends of the greenhouse and spray at the [[Buzzbee|bee]]s to move them toward one another and get them to sting the other.

Stanley made an appearance in the television series ''[[Saturday Supercade]]'', in the ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' episode "[[Greenhouse Gorilla]]," where he is the owner of a greenhouse. 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" was taking place, Pauline convinces Donkey Kong that the thief is the evil one, so they finally defeat him with the ape's help. The thief is finally arrested and Herman returns to Stanley, but Donkey Kong runs away once again.

====''Game & Watch Gallery 2''====

A port of ''Green House'' appears in the [[Museum]] of ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 2]]''.

 

There are two ports of ''Greenhouse'' in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]''. The Classic version is faithful, but the Modern version replaces Stanley with a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]].

 

====''Game & Watch Gallery 4''====

Stanley appears in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'' as a playable character in a port of the Game & Watch version of ''Donkey Kong 3''. A modernized version is featured; however, it is set in a [[Ghost House]] rather than Stanley's greenhouse, [[Mario]] replaces Stanley, and [[Boo]]s and [[Fireball (obstacle)|fireballs]] replace the bees.

[[File:SSBU Stanley Spirit.png|thumb|150px|Artwork used for ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'']]

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.

 

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: Twisted!''====

Stanley appears as a playable character in one of [[9-Volt]]'s [[Microgame]]s in ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', named [[Donkey Kong 3 (WarioWare: Twisted!)|Donkey Kong 3]]. Here, he must do as he did in ''Donkey Kong 3'' and spray Donkey Kong until he gets his head stuck in a beehive.

 

====''WarioWare: Touched!''====  

Stanley appears in 9-Volt's Microgame [[Donkey Kong 3 (WarioWare: Touched!)|Donkey Kong 3]] in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'' In this microgame, the player must blow at the microphone to make Donkey Kong move to the top; instead of spraying Donkey Kong, Stanley blows clouds out of his mouth to make him move into a beehive.

 

====''WarioWare: D.I.Y.''====

Stanley appears in ''[[Greenhouse (microgame)|Greenhouse]]'', one of [[9-Volt]]'s microgames in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]''. He has to defend his plants from two worms.

====''WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase''====

Stanley appears in [[DK 3]], one of [[18-Volt]]'s Microgames in ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', where the goal is the same as his ''WarioWare: Twisted!'' appearance.

 

 

Stanley reappears in ''[[NES Remix]]'' as the playable character in various ''Donkey Kong 3'' based challenges, which only appear in the Bonus stages.
