Universal's 1982 arcade game about a clown digging through a garden got a Game Boy conversion from Ocean in 1992. Like Dig Dug, Mr. Do! lets you carve your own tunnels through the dirt, but the scoring system and the way you fight back make it a different game.
Each screen is full of cherries, and clearing all of them is one way to finish a stage, with bonus points for collecting eight in a row without stopping. Mr. Do can throw a bouncing power ball that travels along tunnels to hit a monster, then returns after a delay. Apples are the other weapon: dig underneath one and it falls, crushing anything below, including Mr. Do himself if you are careless. Special letter-carrying monsters spell out EXTRA for a bonus life. The monochrome graphics are simple but clear, and the core arcade rules are intact, which makes the cartridge a decent way to get to know a game that has always lived in Pac-Man's shadow.
Tips for Mr. Do!
Dig under apples while monsters are in the tunnel below to crush several at once for big points.
The power ball takes time to come back after hitting something, so don't throw it until a monster is lined up.
Stage clears also happen when all regular monsters are defeated, not just when every cherry is eaten.
