| '''''Donkey Kong 3''''' is the third in the ''[[Donkey Kong (arcade game)|Donkey Kong]]'' Arcade series. It was later as a [[microgame]] in both ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'' and ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]''. ''Donkey Kong 3'' never became as popular as the earlier ''Donkey Kong'' titles, possibly due to the fact that it is more of a shooting game, compared to the original platformers. Another major difference between Donkey Kong 3 and the earlier games is that the main character is not [[Mario]], but [[Stanley the Bugman]], in his only prominent game appearance.

| [[Donkey Kong]] breaks into [[Stanley the Bugman]]'s greenhouse and goes to hang in the rafters where he stirs up nests of [[Buzzbee]]s and [[Beespie]]s, which will destroy Stanley's flowers in revenge. Armed with a can of fly spray, Stanley must destroy the [[bee]]s and chase Donkey Kong away before he wrecks the whole greenhouse.

| The game is very simplistic, requiring the player to gather points as the object rather than have any specific long-term goal in mind. There are three rounds, and once the player completes all three, he (or she) returns to the first. Throughout the levels are scattered various enemies: Buzzbees, Beespies, [[Queen Bee (enemy)|Queen Bees]] which shatter into deadly pieces when destroyed, and creepy [[caterpillar]]s. The bees attempt to steal Stanley's flowers, and the bees must be destroyed before reaching the plants. Donkey Kong himself hangs from two vines at the top of the screen. Spraying him drives him upwards and eventually off the screen to win the level.
