DK3 would never be heard from again until 2001 as a bonus game in Nintendo's Animal Crossing for the GameCube, and shortly thereafter in 2003 as one of the Nintendo e-Reader games for the Game Boy Advance.Īfter being freed by his son, Donkey Kong hadn't exactly learned his lesson. The first time that Donkey Kong 3 was made available for home play was on Jfor the Famicom, making it the 16th game released for the system.
Since Donkey Kong 3 never garnered as much fame as its predecessors, and because it appeared in the arcade around the time that the home video game market was experiencing its first crash in the United States, Donkey Kong 3 was licensed by no one for home conversion.

The second was the portable LCD iteration of Donkey Kong 3 which pit Stanley directly against Donkey Kong in a battle of bug spray and mosquitoes. The first was called Greenhouse where his job was, quite expectedly, to exterminate bugs. His only other known appearances were in two Nintendo Game & Watch games. Even more obscure was the hero of the game, a bug exterminator named Stanley. As such Donkey Kong wouldn't be heard from again for quite some time, while Mario would go on to become more recognizable than Mickey Mouse to a generation of children. Why Nintendo took Donkey Kong in this direction is unknown, but as Mario's fame began to escalate, this game did little to improve Donkey Kong's image. Uncharacteristic of the previous games, it is a shooter rather than a platform game. Donkey Kong 3 is something of the red headed cousin of the Donkey Kong series.
