Contains Japanese in Shift-JIS format.
To see it correctly, make sure you have Japanese support installed, then:
Choose the "View" menu in your browser
Choose the "Encoding"/"Character Coding" entry (or similar, depends on browser)
Find and select "Japanese (Shift-JIS)", you may have to look through a few sub-
menus
Now this FAQ should display Japanese characters correctly.
For this FAQ I have used [] to indicate descriptions of illustrations.

v 2.0 (2004-12-06)
Completed walkthrough
Completed Pacteria chart
Added Japanese to all items
Added Japanese to some menus
Corrected badly translated things
Added correct names from official guidebook
========================================================================
| Overview |
============
This game has a much more involved storyline than the previous Mr Driller games
on Gameboy, in fact, more than most puzzlers. The in-game graphics are
simplistic and colourful, while the cutscenes are plenty and lush. Very
impressive full vocal intro song "Progress! Driller!" sung by voice actor Horie
Mitsuko.
The most unique feature of this incarnation of the game is the Wonderful
Pacteria Mode. Here there is no timer counting the air down, but the air runs
out as you destroy blocks. This makes for a slower paced, more puzzle than
action, style of playing.
There are a few menus and items in Japanese but it's very possible to play and
finish the game without knowing any Japanese, although maybe you won't finish
it 100%.
The Mission Driller and Grand Prix race modes contain very little text, while
the exploring Pacteria mode contains text descriptions on the items, although
these are also distinguished by colour.
========================================================================
| Gameplay |
============
- Drill Drill Drill
The main game-play is drilling puzzle. The general idea is to drill your way
through colourful blocks down to the bottom. As you drill, the blocks above you
become dislodged and fall down, watch out, or you will be crushed and lose a
life. Blocks falling down onto blocks of the same
colour forming a cluster of four or more will disappear.
Gather air capsules to not run out of air. When you only have 30% air left your
character's face will turn blue and an air icon will appear next to him. When
there's 5% left an alarm will start to sound and the icon is replaced by a
countdown.
- Save up miles and get items
Save up Driller Miles by digging, the more you dig the more miles you get.
Whenever you dig 1m you get one unit that you can use to buy items in the shops.
Miles are collected and saved in all playing modes. Dig a lot and save up heaps
of miles to buy great items.
You can check the number of miles you got in Records and buy things at the
Mission Driller shop.
- Raise a mysterious Pacteria creature
In the Wonderful Pacteria Mode you breed a lovely and wonderful creature called
Pacteria. It changes colour and appearance depending on what you feed it.
While it grows up you collect Pakute Breeding Cards which has info and pictures
of the more than 100 different kinds of Pacteria. While conquering the ruins of
Doridorado you will get items to make the Pacteria evolve.
========================================================================
| Story |
=========
Where did the debris of the blocks that Mr Driller and others have broken
really disappear to? So far it has been a great mystery.
However, Dr. Z and his group recently discovered creatures called Pacteria
who's favourite food are blocks. Their bodies are only 3cm around and their
camouflage colouring has kept them hidden from the eyes of people as they ate
the blocks. The ecology of the Pacteria are still shrouded in mystery.
The ruins of Doridorado suddenly appeared from the depths of the earth. The
ruins are filled with blocks, but it seems the key to solve the mystery of the
Pacteria is hidden inside.
For exploring these ruins Susumu got a new medieval fighter suit.
Susumu takes on this challenge under the name Knight Susumu Hori, wearing his
armour Dorikyariba and his sword is Doriama.
- Opening Videos
These are so cool that I had to give them a special mention. The first one is
the full vocal song. This features a presentation of all the game characters.
If you leave the start screen on after that one you will get another video that
tells the story of Susumu and his friends, the Pacteria and the Doridorado
ruins.
========================================================================
| Playing Modes |
=================
- Wonderful Pacteria
Search your way down the mysterious ruins of Doridorado. Collect items to make
your Pacteria creature grow. Collect Pacteria cards as it grows. The major new
thing in this mode is that there is no timer, instead you lose air every time
you slash at a block. So you have unlimited time to get to the bottom, but once
you run out of air, that's it, you only get one life.
The drill has been replaced by the sword Doriama. Every time you slash a block
you lose 1% of air, even on the brown x-blocks, and even if you only slash them
once without breaking them. You need to 5 slashes to break them completely so
you'll lose 5% air. When you get crushed you lose 20% air, but you don't die.
Grab Doristones on the way down, green ones hold extra air, yellow various
power-ups, red can destroy huge amounts of blocks at once, and blue can change
the colour of the blocks.
Drop into the shops to buy items for the Pacteria, or take the Home Way airline
for a shortcut home.
Coloured, brown and beige blocks appear along with Doristones and treasure
chests with Pacteria items.
- Mission Driller
Classic Mr Driller mode. Save countries from the dastardly blocks. From Japan
to France, the jungles of the Amazon and even the entire Universe in the
endless space mode, Mr Driller and friends has to go everywhere with their
trusty drillers.
You get three lives and every time you run out of air or get crushed you lose
one of them. Collect a lot of air capsules and earn extra lives. Each capsules
gives you 100 points more, so the first capsule is 100 points, 2nd 200, 3rd 300,
etc.
Free the sleeping blue people creatures in the blocks for extra points.
In this mode coloured, brown and beige blocks appear.
- Driller Grand Prix
Compete against the other driller characters in this race mode. Speed is
everything. If you get crushed or die by running out of air, all you lose is
the time it takes to get resurrected. Your air will be reset to 100% every time.
All kinds of blocks appear in this mode, often in maze-like or peculiar
patterns.
========================================================================
| Items |
=========
- Blocks
Coloured, yellow, green, red, blue - These are the main blocks you drill your
way through. If four blocks get together they disappear.
X-marked five blocks - Can be drilled through with five hacks, and usually a
loss of air. Sticks together and disappears the same way as normal coloured
blocks.
White blocks - These you can drill through but they don't stick together. They
appear both as single blocks and bigger blocks the size of four blocks.
Crystal blocks - Dissipates slowly as they come into view creating major
instability
Metal blocks - Indestructible, often immobile and in big clusters.
- Air Capsules
Each capsule holds 20% of air. You also get bonus points for them.
========================================================================
| Wonderful Pacteria Mode Guide |
=================================
=====
Intro
The first time you try to enter the Pacteria Room you will see an intro video.
This video will not be saved in the Record section, so this is the only time
you see it. Dr Z tells Susumu about the Pacteria and gives him the Dorikyariba
medieval suit and the Doriama sword. You will then be passed into the Pacteria
Room where an egg awaits. Just wait for the egg to hatch and you have your very
own Pakubaby. The first (and only) item you have is an Wind Myu Stone. Feed
this to the Pakubaby and it will transform into a Pacteria.
After this you will see another short video and then you need to explore the
ruins for a bit to gather more items before you can make the Pacteria evolve
further.
See the Pacteria Breeding section for info on how to breed your Pacteria
successfully.
The first time you start a new stage you get a to see a little cutscene video.
At the end of every stage you get to see a similar video, and this one is saved
in the Records section.
- General Strategy
Don't hurry, take your time and plan ahead. Always try to slash long vertical
blocks if possible. On levels with few colours or big block you should wait for
the blocks to settle down before starting to slash again. Often they will
collide and destroy themselves so you don't have to waste air slashing them. On
the more mixed levels with many different colours and blocks you are often
better off playing a more classic style, slashing blocks and running before
they fall on you. In these areas if you let the blocks settle you will often
find yourself caught above brown blocks.
- Houses
Most of the time a blue Chiteijin appears. I think he's telling you some useful
hints.
Other times a fighter appears with this menu:
Choice?
1. Fight
2. Escape
Depending on what you are fighting you can win or lose air, make sure you have
enough to survive if you lose.
Pooka [red ball] Air 5%
Fygar [green dragon] Air 10%
Meiji Pooka [blue ball] Air 20%
King Fygar [red dragon] Air 20%
- Home Way Airlines
Total miles on top right
Price for travel is mentioned in the text with yes/no
Don't have enough miles, can't travel
Left - Yes, Right No
You only get to keep a few of your items if you escape this way,
sometimes as many as 5 but usually 1 or 2.
- Shops
I recommend you not sell your doristones or other items, it's much easier to
earn more miles by playing instead.
I usually buy all the items they have. If you played a bit to rack up the miles
they're cheap enough, and should your inventory become full they're easy to
toss out later.
The Sell Menu, on the right in the Shops is always the same, as follows:
ドリストーン Doristone 25 Miles/each
地底トマト Earth Tomato 50 Miles/each
地底ナス Earth Eggplant 50 Miles/each
地底ピーマン Earth Pimento 50 Miles/each
地底レモン Earth Lemon 50 Miles/each
元気の素 Extra Energy 50 Miles/each
- Doristones
These are the shiny little crystals that appear among the blocks, and sometimes
when you destroy a block. Each colour got a specific usage.
Use the Doristone screen to keep track of your stones and power-ups. It's the
first option on the pause menu. You will see a list of your stones to the left,
and the status of power-ups to the right. Each yellow power-up has a particular
number of uses before it runs out. If you have several of the same power-up you
can always up the count by activating more stones.
- Green Doristones
Very easy to see what these are. They are each marked with a certain % of air
they hold. Save this air until you really need it, usually in the later levels.
Make sure you always have at least 20% air though so you can survive even if
you get crushed.
エア1％ Air 1% - 1 Extra Air Unit
エア5％ Air 5% - 5 Extra Air Units
エア10％ Air 10% - 10 Extra Air Units
エア20％ Air 20% - 20 Extra Air Units
- Yellow Doristones
These are all very useful power-ups. Although their names are all Japanese,
they are all good so no need to worry about going wrong if you don't know
which yellow stone is which.
Barrier is by far the most useful as it allows you to survive being crushed,
the others all increase your abilities a bit, for a limited number of uses.
バリア Barrier - Protective bubble, get crushed without losing air (1
use)
スピード Speed - Increase speed of slashing and falling (50 uses)
ジャンプ Jump - Jump two blocks up (30 uses)
ミニドリ Mini Dori - Susumu turns tiny (30 uses)
スリー ウェイ Three Way - Slash blocks at the sides as well as down (20 uses)
ストーンサーチ Stone Search - Allows you to see where the Doristones are
hidden (50 uses)
スーパ バリア Super Barrier - Protective bubble, get crushed without losing
air
uses up 20 air units when activated (3 uses)
マックスアップ Max Up - Increases max level of air by 10% (40 uses)
- Red Doristones
Destroyers, eradicates all 12 blocks up and down. Very useful if you get stuck
in a messy area, or need to get to a crowded air capsule. It's a good idea to
save these until you really need them, but don't be too skimpy, the red stones
tend to be plentiful.
デストロイB Destroy B - Blue blocks disappear
デストロイG Destroy G - Green blocks disappear
デストロイR Destroy R - Red blocks disappear
デストロイY Destroy Y - Yellow blocks disappear
デストロイF Destroy F - Five blocks (brown) disappear
デストロイW Destroy W - White blocks disappear
デストロイV Destroy V - Vertical line you're on disappears
デストロイH Destroy H - Horizontal line you're on disappears
デストロイA Destroy A - All blocks disappear, uses up 10% air
デストロイ1 Destroy 1 - 1 Blocks out on all sides around you disappears
デストロイ2 Destroy 2 - 2 Blocks out on all sides around you disappears
デストロイ3 Destroy 3 - 3 Blocks out on all sides around you disappears
- Blue Doristones
Changes the colour of blocks, similar to the pink stones they work 12 blocks up
and down.
Very useful on the two coloured areas, just turn all blocks to one colour and
eradicate them all with one blow!
Another good trick is to turn blocks into one colour before using pink to
destroy that colour. The blue warp stone is a bit special, and even if you
don't know Japanese you can spot it because it doesn't have a roman letter in
its name. Only use this in absolutely desperate and hopeless circumstances as
it will put you right back at the start of the stage. Unlike Home Way though
you get to keep all your items, and your air is filled right back up.
チェンジB Change B - Random colour turns Blue
チェンジG Change G - Random colour turns Green
チェンジR Change R - Random colour turns Red
チェンジY Change Y - Random colour turns Yellow
チェンジC Change C - Random colour turns to Crystal Blocks
チェンジF Change F - Random colour turns to Five Blocks
ワープ Warp - Warps you back to the start of the stage with 100% air
- Myu Stones and Earth Items
These don't affect the playing of the puzzle directly, but make sure to gather
them up to feed to the Pacteria later.
A chest appears at the start of each 100m with either an Earth Item or a Myu
Stone.
Wait for this chest to fall and grab the item before you start digging your way
down.
Earth Items and Myu Stones can also be bought in the shops sometimes.
The Item list is the second on the pause menu.
When your inventory gets full you will be asked if you want to throw away some
item to make place for the next.
Top: Yes, Bottom, No
Choose item to throw.
Try to keep the Myu Stones as they are most important for evolving the Pacteria.
These are always on the bottom of the list.
See more details on Pacteria breeding after the walkthrough.

Pacteria Breeding
The goal of Pacteria breeding is to collect all the different Pacteria Cards.
Every time you meet a new form or colour of Pacteria you will get that card.
To change the Pacteria's appearance you feed it different items.
The Myu Stones, Wind, Fire, Water, etc evolve the Pacteria to a new form.
Each form is available in four different colours.
The Earth Items, Tomato, Eggplant, Lemon, Pimento, change the colour.
Once you have changed the form of the Pacteria it can't turn back so to get all
the cards you should turn it into all possible colours (red, yellow, blue,
green) before allowing it to evolve to a new form.
When you are drilling away blocks in the game, your Pacteria eats those blocks.
If the Pacteria refuse to eat a Myu Stone the transformation meter is probably
empty. Check the status screen, if the meter is green it's filled, black, it's
empty. Once it's empty you need to go drill away some more blocks for the
Pacteria to eat.
The mood of the Pacteria might affect how many times it can evolve.
It doesn't like when your games end in failure, so try to not get a sad Game
Over.
Watch its reactions to the different actions you can do. It doesn't seem to
like being petted much. Sometimes it likes when you call it. When you select
the item icon the Pacteria gets happy and starts to bounce, but if you don't
give it anything it will be sad again soon. It doesn't like when you do the
same thing over and over. Try to vary the actions. Leaving it can break its
heart.
- Pacteria Transformation
See the chart below for all elements, levels and forms.
For each Myu Stone of the same element you feed the Pacteria it goes up one
level.
Examples:
Hanepaku (wind lvl 1) -> Wind Myu Stone -> Hanepaku2 (wind lvl 2)
Hanepaku2 (wind lvl 2) -> Wind Myu Stone -> Pakudakku (wind lvl 3)
etc.
So if you continue to give it Wind Myu Stones it will evolve according to the
chart:
Hanepaku > Hanepaku2 > Pakudakku > Hanepaku3 > Mimipaku > Watapaku > Pakususumu
If you feed it a stone of a different element it will change to that element,
without rising a level.
Examples:
Hanepaku (wind lvl 1) -> Fire Myu Stone -> Tsunopaku (fire lvl 1)
Mohipaku (fire lvl 3) -> Water Myu Stone -> Takopaku (water lvl 3)
and so on.
Level 7 is different.
First of all it's the same form for all elements, Pakususumu.
If you give Pakususumu an ordinary Myu Stone it will revert back to level 5.
Example:
Pakususumu -> Wind Myu Stone -> Mimipaku (wind lvl 5)
But if you give it a Light Myu Stone it will transform into Chiteipaku, level S.
Pakususumu -> Light Myu Stone -> Chiteipaku (level S)
Level S and SS are special levels.
When you use a Light Myu Stone on a level 6 Pacteria it will jump to level S.
Example:
Watapaku (wind lvl 6) -> Light Myu Stone -> Chiteipaku (lvl S)
Moepaku (fire lvl 6) -> Light Myu Stone -> Girupaku (lvl S)
and so on.
If you give level S a Light Myu Stone they go up one number.
Example:
Chiteipaku (lvl S No151) -> Light Myu Stone -> Mapipaku (lvl S No152)
Dorapaku (lvl S No154) -> Light Myu Stone -> Pakyura (lvl S No154)
and so on.
If you continue to give Light Myu Stones to level S it will reach level SS:
Kozupaku (lvl S No156 -> Light Myu Stone -> Pagekiyo (lvl SS No157)
Pagekiyo (lvl SS No157) -> Light Myu Stone -> Hepaku (lvl SS No158)
etc
Full transformation chart for levels S and SS:
Pakususumu (lvl 7 150) ->
Chiteipakupaku (lvl S 151) ->
Mapipaku (lvl S 152) ->
Girupaku (lvl S 153) ->
Dorapaku (lvl S 154) ->
Pakyura (lvl S 155) ->
Kozupaku (lvl S 156) ->
Pagekiyo (lvl SS 157) ->
Hepaku (lvl SS 158) ->
Kaze No Pakunoa (lvl SS 159) ->
Dompaku (lvl SS 160) ->
Katsupaku (lvl SS 161)
However, if you go the long route above the Pacteria might leave before you
reach the final number 161.
The shortest possible route below should give you a chance to reach the end
form:
Pacteria (lvl 0) -> Earth ->
Hakopaku (lvl 1) -> Light ->
Wampaku (lvl 4) -> Light ->
Pakusuta (lvl 6) -> Light ->

========================================================================
- Mission Driller Guide
=======================
The blocks fall pretty slowly so it's fairly easy to run in under a shaking
block that's about to fall and run out again Often it is better and faster to
wait under an air capsule to fall rather than to try and get to it from the
side. Choose a character that suits your skill level. If you drill skilfully
enough (be very fast, get a lot of air capsules, don't die once) you can earn
awards. These will be marked by a "MR." in the high score list. Gather up a lot
of miles to buy new drills and extra lives in the shop.
Japan, Easy, 500m
The playing field is narrow making it a lot easier to get an overview of
what's going on.
At first only coloured and brown blocks, later some beige blocks.
France, Normal, 800 m
Wide playing field, brown and beige blocks appear right from the start.
Amazon, Hard, 1500 m
Wide playing field, all kinds of blocks, including star blocks.
Space, Endless, Endless m
Wide playing field, endless, rack up the miles.
Shop Menu

========================================================================
- Driller Grand Prix Guide
==========================
This mode is great for honing your skills at finding the shortest fastest way.
If you get stuck or slowed down, look at the other players and follow their
lead. They usually take a few different but clever paths down among the blocks.
But don't look at them too much, you can usually find an even better path
yourself.
Remember that it takes longer time to drill away a block than to run or fall,
so try to take out long vertical blocks and fall down the space where they were.
It is highly recommended that you use one of the fast characters for this mode,
either Taizou Hori or Ataru Hori.
You see the other characters on the screen as semi-transparent figures. Note
that what you do with the blocks don't affect their playing field and vice
versa. Each player plays on their own field.
Try not to rush too much, when the race starts the other characters will seem
to get a massive head start but you will catch up rather easily further along.
Look ahead and try to take a strategic path. If you played the same stage a few
times try to remember what's ahead and which direction to go.
Try to not jump up for air capsules, it takes too much time, just grab the air
capsules that come in your path. In some situations it's actually faster to die
of asphyxiation than to run a long way for more air.
You can win the Driller Award, the Pickaxe Award and the Shovel Award if you're
a master digger.
You have to win each race before the next one opens.
