Mr Driller A/Mr Driller 2 GBA - difference?

[Geoff D]

Are these different games? If so, then how?

Also, anyone know of any stores that stock either? I can't seem to find Driller action anywhere

Mr Driller 2 has some puzzle type courses as well as vanilla Driller action. Mr Driller A has different characters with different attributes, Driller Grand Prix (race through a course against other characters) and Pacteria mode which takes off air every time you strike a block rather than running down over time. I found Mr Driller A has a better difficulty curve as well. Oh and Mr Driller A hooks up to GC Mr Driller Drill Land for some slightly pointless extras.

Mr. Driller A has an RPG style drill mode much like the one featured in Drill land. Driller 2 has time attack, survival and world tour drill mode.

Both are good 2 is a bit harder to find. You can upload your pacteria from Ace into Drill Land by loading Driller Ace into your GBA and holding down Start and select...then going to the to Pacteria GBA option area in Drill Town.

I'm not sure if the extras are pointless with the hookup because mainly you load your pacteria and miles into the GC game. They never sold as unlocking the original driller.

Cheers for the clarification fellas - now, the hunt continues
