Donkey Kong 3 (Game & Watch)[edit]

In the Game & Watch version of Donkey Kong 3, in the same fashion as in the arcade game, Donkey Kong stirs up nests of bees, so Stanley is required to use his sprayer to combat Donkey Kong, who now has one of his own.

While refilling the sprayer, the player will be left defenseless.
