Stanley

Template:Character-infobox Stanley is a bug exterminator and the protagonist of the game Donkey Kong 3. In this game, Stanley uses his Bug-Spray Gun to do battle with Donkey Kong (or Cranky Kong) and several insects in a greenhouse. Presumably, Stanley managed to defeat Donkey Kong and sent him back to where he came from.

History

Donkey Kong 3

Donkey Kong 3

This time not only had insects infested his greenhouse but also Donkey Kong (Possibly a younger Cranky Kong) was trying to cause damage. Donkey Kong would pester bees in their hives to attack Stanley. Stanley would spray Donkey Kong with his Bug-Spray Gun (who was hanging from two vines) and he would be pushed upward by it and eventually end up with his head stuck in a beehive at the top of all the vines.

The Saturday Supercade

Stanley as he appears in Greenhouse Gorilla.

Stanley made one appearance in the television series Saturday Supercade, in the Donkey Kong episode "Greenhouse Gorilla", where he's the owner of a greenhouse. Here he's seen taking care of a carnivorous plant called Herman, but then a thief (only referred once as Mr. X) steals it while Stanley is occupied bugspraying 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 join 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.

Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch)

Stanley's greenhouse was again attacked by Donkey Kong, who this time had a Bug-Spray Gun, which in this game shot water bubbles instead of bug spray, of his own. Donkey Kong and Stanley stood at opposite ends of the greenhouse and sprayed the bug spray at bees to move them toward one another. After sending the bees to Donkey Kong and them stinging him enough times, Donkey Kong eventually left again.

Trivia

Artwork of Greenhouse.

The Game & Watch game Greenhouse has a premise and gameplay very similar to Donkey Kong 3, often leading to the belief that they both star the same character, but this was never confirmed by Nintendo. Also the main character in Greenhouse is called The Fumigator on the game's manual, he's not called Stanley, and their appearances have some key differences: Stanley wears overalls, but no cap, while Fumigator wears a cap and no overalls.
