Between these and the caterpillars that serve no purpose but to block your attacks, Donkey Kong 3 really didn’t seem to have a vision for the type of fast-paced, white-knuckle gameplay that the genre required by this point. Instead of dealing with space bugs, you’re dealing with garden-variety Earth bugs in a greenhouse that attack in waves and sometimes just straight-up shoot you with a stinger with seemingly no visual or audio warning it’s coming. The aim here seems to have been to combine platforming with space shooting, but the platforming elements really aren’t a major factor in the game and the shooting elements leave a lot to be desired. How come it never comes up in the discussion of potential worst Nintendo developed titles? Because it’s pretty fucking sorry. Once again, Hamster has put together a well-emulated package that’s all for naught, because Donkey Kong 3 is a terrible game. For all we know, Donkey Kong’s coconut gun just fired in spurts and Stanley is about to be Bukaked on. The beauty of a screenshot is that you can’t tell that it’s Stanley the Bugman shooting DK here.
