Plot
Taizo Hori, chairman of the Driller Council and hero of the Dig Dug Incident, has become somewhat bitter over the fact that the media spotlight has left him in favor of his own son Susumu Hori, AKA Mr. Driller. Thus, when the government of the island nation of Horinesia calls to request the help of Mr. Driller, Taizo decides to go handle it himself in order to prove his superiority. Once he arrives in the nation, the president of Horinesia explains that while searching underground for fossils, the people of the island seemingly awoke monsters sleeping beneath the surface. Taizo declares that he will handle the trouble by himself, but Susumu decides to tag along anyway to support his father.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
“Morality for the novelist is expressed not so much in the choice of subject matter as in the plot of the narrative, which is perhaps why in our morally bewildered time novelists have often been timid about plot.”
—Jane Rule (b. 1931)
“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
