I've heard that Drill Land was the best game in the series, and I have no reason to not believe that even if I have only ever played Mr. Driller 1 before this. The cutesy characters of this game go to a theme park, and each attraction is a different variation on the Mr. Driller gameplay. It's all pretty fun, especially the oddly named "The Hole of Druaga", a attraction that adds items and boss battles, along with trading the time-based gameplay of the other modes with something more turn-based. Saying I had more fun playing that over the game it was named after is an understatement.

However, the difficulty has a really steep curve; the main story, which consists of the first levels of each of the attractions, may as well be the tutorial for a deceptively hard game. I still go back to it, but I probably won't be completing it anytime soon.
