** When Stanley loses a life, all the enemy bugs on the screen swarm his lifeless body, and when they leave, nothing is left but his spray bottle. This only appears in the arcade version.

* TheWoobie: Stanley the Bugman is incredibly pitiable from both a gameplay perspective ''and'' a meta perspective. From a gameplay perspective, whereas Mario had a known history with Donkey Kong before the events of the first two games, Stanley is merely an InnocentBystander-turned-protagonist who just wanted to keep his greenhouse free from pestilence before Donkey Kong came in and caused a raucous for [[ForTheEvulz no good reason]]. Stanley is shown to constantly be [[NervousWreck on edge]], losing his cool whenever something goes wrong, and when he loses a life, the bugs swarming his greenhouse ''[[CruelAndUnusualDeath devour him alive]]''. From a meta perspective, ''Donkey Kong 3'' is Stanley's only major appearance, meaning he got [[ChuckCunninghamSyndrome Chuck Cunninghamed]] and never got the opportunity to show off his mettle again.

Moved from Donkey Kong.

* CommonKnowledge: There's no evidence that Stanley is Mario's cousin. Evidently, fans believe everyone who wears overalls has to be related somehow. It helps though that Stanley looks a bit similar to Mario.
Changed line(s) 3 (click to see context) from:
* SeasonalRot: General consensus is that, while not a bad game by any means, it does not reach the same level of quality as the previous two ''Donkey Kong'' games. Mainly due to replacing Mario with Stanley, and changing the gameplay into a ShootEmUp.
