Mr. Driller Drill Land[a][b] is a 2002 puzzle video game developed and published in Japan by Namco for the GameCube.

Controlling one of seven characters, the player must make it to the bottom of each stage by destroying colored blocks, which can connect to each other and form chain reactions.

The game is divided into five different modes themed as amusement park attractions, which feature new mechanics such as enemies, items and different block types.

A prototype game featuring four-person multiplayer was shown off at a Nintendo press conference, titled Shin Mr. Driller, and intended for a fall 2002 release in Japan.

It was later delayed to winter of that year after being shown at the 2002 Tokyo Game Show, where it was given its final title of Drill Land.

[2] Mr. Driller Drill Land is a puzzle video game where the player controls one of seven different characters who make it to the bottom of the stage by destroying formations of colored blocks that litter the playfield.

The five game modes include: Drill Land World Tour, which has the standard Mr. Driller gameplay,[3] The Hole of Druaga, a parody of Namco's own The Tower of Druaga where the player needs to retrieve a key to open a door,[3] Horror Night House, where the player needs to inject ghost-filled blocks with Holy water,[3] Drindy Adventure, which features traps such as rolling boulders and spikes,[3] and Star Driller, based on the Space Stage in Mr. Driller G featuring flashing "Star Blocks" that disappear after a brief moment.

[6] Completing any of the game's attractions will award currency, which can be used in a gift shop to purchase power-ups, souvenirs and trading cards with the characters printed on them.

[7] GamesTM called it "easily the GameCube's best puzzle game" for its colorful visuals and surplus amount of content, saying that the shopping system helped break up the action.

[14] They also thought the addition of new gameplay modes helped make the game feel more modern compared to earlier entries.
