Talk:Donkey Kong 3: Difference between revisions

::::::On another note, I've recently noticed that, like Stanley, [http://www.intheattic.co.uk/greenhouse.htm Buzzbee] first appeared in ''Green House''. It's unnamed and only serves as part of the game's alarm by "alarming" a cat, but the design is even more spot-on than the [http://www.intheattic.co.uk/donkey_kong_3.htm other] Game & Watch game. Given this, should we consider the inchworm an early appearance of Creepy? It has its characteristic piano-teeth when it first appears and crawls along the overhead vine, but unlike ''Donkey Kong 3'', it also attacks the flower. I was also planning on eventually making a "flower (''Donkey Kong 3'')" article, but since considering the elements taken from ''Green House'', I wonder if that's still the best identifier. With the same basic idea of a bugman saving the flowers in a greenhouse from bugs, you can make the case that just about everything except the alarm cat and spider enemy is shared between ''Green House'' and ''Donkey Kong 3''.
