Single Player Modes
- Mission Driller mode
The player attempts to drill through increasingly deeper and more difficult levels in order to unlock more characters.
- Pressure Driller mode
The player must outrun a huge drill and collect power capsules which can be shot at the drill to destroy it.
- Time attack mode
The player attempts to complete a short level quickly while gathering time bonuses.
- Dristone Driller mode (Japanese, European, and Australian versions only)
The player attempts to dig through a level, drilling as little as possible. 1% of air is consumed for each block drilled. There are special powerups called "dristones" which can change block colours, destroy blocks, increase the player's air meter, provide a protective shield, etc.

“I can’t think of a single supposedly Black issue that hasn’t wasted the original Black target group and then spread like the measles to outlying white experience.”
—June Jordan (b. 1936)
“It is a fundamental characteristic of civilization that man most profoundly mistrusts those living outside his own milieu, so that not only does the Teuton regard the Jew as an incomprehensible and inferior being, but the football player likewise so regards the piano player.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
“Sight and all the other senses are only modes of touch.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
