Appearances[]

Bugman Land Series[]

Stanley appears in his own unique series called Bugman Land, a three dimensional platformer featuring a unique cast of characters and a completely new universe ignoring Stanley's past in the Donkey Kong series universe. Though, it does include references to the classic Donkey Kong series such as Pauline returning as a playable character. So far, there have been two releases- one on the Wii U, and the other on the Nintendo 3DS

Super Smash Bros. series[]

  • Stanley appears a secret character in the game Super Smash Bros. Havoc. He also has a role in the Adventure Mode with Lucas.
  • In Super Smash Stadium, Stanley appeared as an Assist Trophy, debuting alongside NES Arcade. This means that he was retired around the same time as the stage, circa November 1991 to January 1992.
  • Stanley appears as a part of Fighter's Pass Volume 2 in Super Smash Bros. Galactic Battle, where he is voiced by Charles Martinent for the first time in the Mario series.
  • Stanley returns alongside all previous fighters in Smash Bros. history in Super Smash Bros. Life or Death, this time as an unlockable character in the base roster.

Super Mario Revival series[]

While Stanley does not appear in the first season of Super Mario Revival, he makes his debut in season 2, Super Mario Ultra, along with Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Pauline, and a new character named Gary. He also returns for season 3, Super Mario Innocence, and season 4, Super Mario Unite!.

Gary initially has a strong dislike for bugs and makes it his duty to exterminate all insects from the Mushroom Kingdom. This is until he is walking peacefully in a forest until he notices Ferochia, a new villain, attacking a family of Wigglers and other various insects.

Stanley learns to appreciate bugs and see that they aren't so bad. This somehow strengthens him and gives him a new power. He is able to grow butterfly wings and fly, as well as summon bugs as a means of attacking and other insect-related powers.

In the series, Stanley gets along really well with Princess Daisy, because of their mutual interest in nature, both bugs and plants. Stanley is also best friends with Gary, and the two are almost always seen together.

In the ending credits for Super Mario Unite!, Stanley and Gary are shown dancing together.
