I’d rate the 2000 Mr. Driller as a 4/5 for a start, and DrillLand includes a version of it as a single one of its 5 modes. This is a very creative take on a puzzle game compilation, with each mode tweaking just enough of the core gameplay as to require that the player adjusts their approach. All of that is wrapped up in a story that’s just as much fun as that height of the anime puzzle genre, Puyo Puyo Tetris. And like PPT, MDDL is fantastically replayable. It’s the Kirby Super Star of Mr. Driller, which makes it a very good time. Here’s hoping that people enjoy this port of the 2002 edition and that we get some new Mr. Driller in the future.
