The Skulker gang has stolen your beloved Red Diamond that once belonged to your departed mother. Using your Drill Dozer, you must lead your fellow band of thieves, the Red Dozers, on a quest to retrieve the Red Diamond.

Gameplay consists of navigating through several areas using your Drill Dozer robot to bore through enemies, walls, and pretty much anything else that's in your way. The Drill Dozer itself is a multifaceted machine able to work underwater and to take flight. It also has the ability to shift the drill into higher gears to tear through the toughest of obstacles. Along the way, you'll upgrade your Drill Dozer robot with gears and add-ons that will help aide you in your quest.

Drill Dozer is a platformer video game developed by Game Freak and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy Advance (GBA). Directed by Ken Sugimori, the game stars Jill and her mech Drill Dozer, which has a drill that the player can rotate in both directions to fight enemies, drill into certain surfaces, and screw objects. Sugimori aimed to make an action game that does not use traditional types of combat, and was inspired by the concept of a tokusatsu monster who could drill through anything. He also wished to make the drill not just pushing a button, but instead using one of two buttons to activate the drill. When drilling, the built-in rumble pack will activate, a feature suggested by Nintendo.
