Stanley the Bugman
CHARACTER
Seldom-used Nintendo protagonist, and enemy of Donkey Kong.


Stanley is an exterminator, who first appeared in the Game andamp;amp;amp; Watch game Greenhouse. In this game, he fended off bugs from attacking plants. He later became the protagonist in Donkey Kong 3 (Game), defending against bugs again in addition to the eponymous gorilla. Stanley was never used as a major character again, only appearing in ports/parodies of his roles in Greenhouse and Donkey Kong 3, as well as cameos in a couple of Smash Bros. games. Due to his fashion choice and opposition to Donkey Kong, it is often rumored that he is a long-lost third Mario brother, or a cousin to Mario (Character) and Luigi (Character). No actual evidence exists to support this, however.
