The
story mode in Mr Driller Ace begins the tale with the wise
professor giving Mr Driller a shiny new suit of armor and a
sword which will help Driller smash pastel-colored blocks in
D's bid for depth. The ubiquitous drill or yore is no longer
standard equipment for... Mr Driller. A baby bacteria also
factors in the beginning of the game, which evolves into a
rambunctious bacteria when you speak to it or pet it in a
tamagotchi-like session. The bacteria will factor later in
the game as a sidekick. Once you get into the meat of the
game, new numbered blocks which read "5" are
peppered throughout levels, which may impede your progress.
Smiting them with your sword decreases the number from 5 to
4 but your hit will also remove a precious unit of air. The best
strategy would be to drop these blocks onto each other to
remove them from your descent path. In addition to the new-type
block, jewels are scattered throughout the level along with
one-eyed stone idols, treasure chests, and the occasional
bacteria house which you may visit for some advice. A
standard puzzle mode allows gamers to play regular drilling
action with a choice of six different rock diggers including the
reliable Mr Driller... with drill in hand.
