Stanley first appeared under the name of "the Fumigator" in the Game & Watch game ''Green House'', a dual screen game where the player is tasked with killing insects to protect flowers. The insects manifest on the bottom screen as spiders, and on the top screen as inchworms - the player will gain more points for killing inchworms as they draw closer to a flower, and can only kill spiders if they let them get close enough. A cat appears as the alarm function for the game. | Stanley first appeared under the name of "the Fumigator" in the Game & Watch game ''Green House'', a dual screen game where the player is tasked with killing insects to protect flowers.

The Fumigator would later reappear as the player character, now christened Stanley and given a stout, hatless redesign, in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Donkey Kong 3}}'', where [[Donkey Kong]] raids his greenhouse, and rather than protecting his flowers, Stanley is protecting himself from man-eating insects. ''Donkey Kong 3'' plays as a shoot-em-up with mild platforming elements, where Stanley must simultaniously ward off bugs and prevent Donkey Kong from descending a rope, instead pushing him up to a beehive using pesticide. Promotional materials for ''Green House'' released after ''Donkey Kong 3'' would refer to him as Stanley going forwards. ''Donkey Kong 3'' would recieve a Japan-exclusive sequel developed by {{iw|wikipedia|Hudson Soft}}, ''{{iw|mariowiki|Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū}}'' released on various home computer platforms, which contains surreal imagery of world landmarks and science fiction scenarios in the background, provided without context with the intention of having players create their own | The Fumigator would later reappear as the player character, now christened Stanley and given a stout, hatless redesign, in ''{{iw|mariowiki|Donkey Kong 3}}'', where [[Donkey Kong]] raids his greenhouse, and rather than protecting his flowers, Stanley is protecting himself from man-eating insects.

Stanley would also get a second appearance in a Game & Watch game, also titled ''{{iw|mariowiki|Donkey Kong 3|Game & Watch}}'', which was a two-player battle game with the same premise, and appear in an episode of ''Donkey Kong'' on ''{{iw|mariowiki|Saturday Supercade}}''. | ||
Despite receiving a starring role in at the time Nintendo's biggest franchise, Stanley would quickly disappear from the limelight, reserved only for retro throwback projects such as ''NES Remix'' and the {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} series, being completely absent from any future {{uv|Donkey Kong}} or {{uv|Mario}} games, even those based strongly on the arcade era of ''Donkey Kong''. Notably, the ''Game & Watch Gallery'' series - while primarily starring ''Mario'' characters - would replace Stanley in the Modern versions of Game & Watch ''Donkey Kong 3'' and ''Greenhouse'' with [[Mario]] and an orange [[Yoshi]] respectively. | Despite receiving a starring role in at the time Nintendo's biggest franchise, Stanley would quickly disappear from the limelight, reserved only for retro throwback projects such as ''NES Remix'' and the {{uv|Super Smash Bros.}} series, being completely absent from any future {{uv|Donkey Kong}} or {{uv|Mario}} games, even those based strongly on the arcade era of ''Donkey Kong''.
