i gotta tell you as a shooter (which most people don't get. neither did i for the first 5 months!) i think nintendo was onto something! pretty intense! much harder. galaxian has nuthin on dk3!
 
It IS a shooter. :) They just updated Space Firebird with Donkey Kong, Stanley, and a greenhouse.
 
It's an underrated game for sure. If it was called "Exterminator" or something instead of a DK game, it would get more love IMO.
 
what i meant was i didn't try to push kong up the vines.

Once you get past the first couple levels, that's the only way to play it ;) (except the board with the vines across the top that the worms run on, where you push his head into a bucket/barrel/whatever its called. I think that's the only way to clear that level.)
 
Hahaha I couldnt get passed level 3 when I had mine, I also didnt never have time to play it when I did have it

After reading this thread I thuse fired up MAME and tryed DK3. Wow, that is a good game. I think the lack of love can be drirectly tied to the lack of Mario! Big mistake switching to Stanley? Is this guy related to Mario in some way? Princess Peach and Mario's illegitimate son?
 
It picks up a fun pace once the red insects show up. I think my high is somewhere between 1.5 and 2 million

When people see it's a Mario Shooter? They Play a quick game and say I'm i don'nt like it without giving it a True Chance. I never knew it was'nt Mario intell someome pointed it too me it was Standly or something like that. I said WHO?

He seems too be alot of the same color is that was he is for everyone else? *Red?*
 
I've never really thought about it before, but DK3 really is a vertical shmup. You just blew my mind.

And DK3 is awesome you haters.
 
Seriously, DK3 really is an update of Nintendo's old shooter Space Firebird. That wasn't meant in jest. Play them both back to back and you'll see how they morphed SF into DK3. Looking at it from a different angle, take SF, put Donkey Kong in there as a minor nuisance/timer, and you've got DK3.
