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.

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.

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.

The Sprayer (alternatively lowercase),[1] also known as the spray gun[2] or insect repellant,[3] 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 based on its original appearance in Green House.

History[edit]

Green House[edit]

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[edit]

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 flowers. 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.

Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch)[edit]

In the Game & Watch version of Donkey Kong 3, in the same fashion as in the arcade game, Donkey Kong stirs up nests of bees, 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.

Saturday Supercade[edit]

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.
