How to Play Mr. Do! (1982)

Dig tunnels through a cherry-filled underground maze while red monsters chase you. Collect all the cherries to finish the level (a bonus diamond appears when 80 percent are gathered). Throw your power ball to squash a pursuer, or dig under suspended cherry prisms to drop them on heads. When the ball is regrowing, you are on foot and vulnerable.

Mr. Do! (1982) History & Background

Mr. Do!, released by Universal in 1982, was the cheerful clown-miner who went toe-to-toe with Dig Dug in arcades and won a devoted following thanks to one brilliant mechanic: your power ball, thrown to crush enemies and — if it misses — slowly regrowing in the tunnel where it landed. It sold exceptionally well in Europe and Japan and spawned several sequels.

Mr. Do! (1982) Tips & Strategy

Cherry lines are traps in disguise: monsters wait at the end of long rows, so nibble cherries from intersections rather than running full lanes. Learn the tunnelers — later levels spawn ghosts that dig their own tunnels, ignoring yours. Throw timing: release at a corner so the ball lands in the monster lane, not behind it. And always dig your escape route before you dig your cherry route.
