Mr. Do! © 1995 Imagineer Company, Limited.

Mr. Do! is a conversion of the classic 1982 arcade hit originally developed by Universal. This version serves as a faithful reproduction of the addictive action-puzzle gameplay that defined the original, where players control the titular clown, Mr. Do, to collect cherries, defeat enemies by dropping giant apples on them, or by throwing his signature power ball.

GAME ID: SHVC-AUNJ-JPN

TRIVIA

Released on June 23, 1995 in Japan.

Arcade Heritage: The original Mr. Do! was a landmark title in arcade history, often considered a direct competitor to Dig Dug. This 1995 port for the Super Famicom was released well into the system's life cycle, providing a nostalgic trip for long-time arcade enthusiasts.

Gameplay Mechanics: The core loop remains intact: clear the board of cherries while avoiding or eliminating monsters. The strategic placement of the giant apples (which can crush both the player and the enemies) adds a layer of depth that elevates it above simple maze games.

Imagineer’s Porting: Imagineer was known for bringing various arcade licenses to home consoles throughout the early 90s. This version is noted for its clean, sharp sprite work that attempts to replicate the vibrant aesthetic of the 1982 arcade cabinet on 16-bit hardware.
