Just like in the original [[Donkey Kong 3|arcade version]], [[Donkey Kong]] breaks into [[Stanley (Donkey Kong 3)|Stanley]]'s greenhouse and goes to hang in the rafters, where he stirs up nests of [[Buzzbee]]s and [[Beespy|Beespies]], which will destroy Stanley's flowers in revenge.

Armed with a [[insect repellant|sprayer]], Stanley must destroy the bees and chase Donkey Kong away before he wrecks the whole greenhouse. | ||

They must each use their can to push bees towards their opponent. After a bee successfully reaches one side of the screen, the character on that side will get stung. The player earns a point every time their cloud of insecticide sends a bee toward Donkey Kong's side. The player earns 10 points if a bee reaches Donkey Kong's side. However, the objective is not as simple as firing insecticide towards the player's opponent. The bees move up and down the screen, forcing the player to do the same if to succeed. Also, each of the two characters has a limited supply of insecticide, which can be refilled; however, the player's back is turned while the player is refilling, rendering them defenseless. The player gets a miss if a bee reaches their side. When the player gets three misses, they receive a [[Game Over]]. | ||
Misses cannot be removed in this game, so players will have to be cautious while playing. | Misses cannot be removed in this game, so players will have to be cautious while playing. | ||

The Modern version has a few differences. First off, [[Mario]] replaces Stanley (just like how an [[Yoshi (species)|Orange Yoshi]] replaces him for the Modern mode of ''[[Greenhouse]]'' in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'').

First off, [[Mario]] replaces Stanley (just like how an [[Yoshi (species)|Orange Yoshi]] replaces him for the Modern mode of ''[[Greenhouse]]'' in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]''). Mario and Donkey Kong also have bubble shooters instead of insecticide sprays. Plus, the setting is a [[Ghost House]]. Lastly, the bees have been replaced by a [[Fireball (obstacle)|fireball]] and a [[Boo]]. The fireball remains in place until pushed away by the bubbles. The Boo attempts to sneak up on either Mario or Donkey Kong when one of them is busy refilling his bubble shooter. If the fireball or Boo reaches Mario's or Donkey Kong's side, whoever receives it will freak out. Unlike in the Classic version, music is featured. | ||
If the player selects this game without actually starting it, it will show a humorous sequence. In it, Mario and Donkey Kong, in a similar manner to Wild West gun duels, take three steps forward before promptly turning to face each other and firing their bubble shooters rapidly and continuously, only for the bubbles to coalesce into one giant bubble and detonate to such an extent that both Mario and Donkey Kong are knocked away. | If the player selects this game without actually starting it, it will show a humorous sequence.
