Drill Dozer, known in Japan as Screw Breaker Gōshin Drillero (スクリューブレイカー 轟振どりるれろ Sukuryū Bureikā Gōshin Dorirurero?) is an action platformer video game for the Game Boy Advance system, released in 2005 in Japan, and in 2006 in North America, before receiving a release in all regions on the Wii U Virtual Console service in 2015 and 2016. It features a built-in rumble pak. It is also one of the only two games to use a Rumble Feature, the other being WarioWare: Twisted!.
The player plays as Jill, known as Dori Kururi (ドリ・くるり?) in the Japanese version. She is the daughter of Doug, the leader of a bandit gang known as The Red Dozers. Doug was ambushed by a rival gang known as the Skullkers. They attacked the Red Dozers to steal the powerful Red Diamond, a gift from Jill's dead mother. To retrieve it, Jill mounts the powerful vehicle, the Drill Dozer.
On the way, she also comes across four other diamonds: the Yellow Diamond, which was kept in the Art Museum and drove Carrie insane; the Blue Diamond, which was floating about Kuru Ruins and stirring things up (it brought a stone statue to life and even took control of a swarm of fish); the Green Diamond, which the unnamed police warden used to animate his massive robot, with which he battles Jill; and the Dark Diamond, which gave Croog his alien appearance and unimaginable power. At the end, the Dark Diamond shatters and Croog's alien face falls off, revealing it to be a mask. Croog's true face is unknown, as a head of long blond hair drops over his eyes and he runs off-screen, sobbing and concealing his appearance with his hands. At the game's conclusion, two of the Diamonds- the Blue and Green Diamonds- are stolen by the Magnet Sisters (both serve as a recurring boss), the Yellow Diamond is returned to the Art Museum and Jill keeps the Red Diamond. Afterwards, Jill is appointed the new boss by her father, and they drive away.
