'''''Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū''''' is a game developed and published by [[Hudson Soft]] in 1984. The game had versions for the PC-6001mkII/PC-6601, PC-8801, and X1, all of which had differences between each other (palette and flow of gameplay, respectively). Hudson released it at the same time as ''[[Mario Bros. Special]]''.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/oh_mz_issue_28_september_1984/page/n15/mode/2up September 1984 issue of Oh! MZ]</ref>

Unlike ''[[Punch Ball Mario Bros.]]'' and ''Mario Bros. Special'', the game was not released on the FM-7 - a version was planned and possibly even completely programmed, but was canceled for unknown reasons.<ref>[http://fm-7.com/museum/softhouse/hudsonsoft/500790300.html Oh!FM-7]</ref>

Enemies come down from the top of the screen in groups of five, swooping to the bottom and trying to target Stanley. After swooping around a bit, the enemies will exit the screen (usually from the bottom, though sometimes from the sides) and loop back around to the top. This will continue until Stanley dies, shoots [[Donkey Kong]] to the top of the screen, thus completing it, or kills the five insects, all of which take two hits apiece to kill. If Stanley kills all five insects before any of them loop back to the top of the screen, a flag reminiscent of one from ''{{wp|Rally-X}}'' will appear, and shooting it will net him 1,000 points.

There are twenty new stages, looping back at Stage 21. Every five stages a Bonus Stage comes up, where Stanley must spray all the bugs before the time runs out. Each new stage has a unique background that seemingly moves the game's setting into the countryside, through space, and eventually into a city on an alien planet. According to programmer Fumihiko Itagaki, these backgrounds are photos converted to images simply for aesthetic reasons.<ref>Press Start To Continue (December 28, 2021).
