Most-played Mr. Do! games
Mr. Do!
Super Nintendo (SNES)Arcade
Mr. Do! is an arcade-style maze action game developed and published for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System by Hudson Soft. It is a console adaptation of Universal’s 1982 arcade original, in which the clown-like Mr. Do digs through underground screens while collecting cherries and surviving pursuing monsters. The game combines maze navigation, digging, falling objects, and limited projectile attacks. Each stage can be cleared by collecting all fruit, defeating the enemies, or completing the displayed objective, depending on the screen. Its simple rules and increasingly dangerous layouts preserve the pick-up-and-play character of early arcade games. The SNES release received relatively little international attention, but remains a notable home version of an influential maze-action title.
Mr. Do!
Arcade SystemsArcade
Mr. Do! is a 1982 arcade maze-action game developed and published by Universal. The player controls a clown-like character who digs through an underground field, collects cherries, and battles pursuing monsters. Its play style combines route planning with quick reactions: tunnels alter the playfield, while a reusable bouncing ball and falling apples provide different ways to attack. The game is built around single-screen stages rather than scrolling exploration. A stage can be cleared by gathering its cherries or defeating all monsters, giving players some choice in how they approach each layout. Mr. Do! became a notable arcade title and is remembered for combining digging mechanics with projectile combat, a structure that helped distinguish it from other maze games of its period.
Neo Mr. Do!
Arcade SystemsAction
Neo Mr. Do! is a maze-action arcade game developed by Visco and published by SNK in 1996. It reworks the core Mr. Do! formula for arcade hardware: the player guides the clown-like Mr. Do through enclosed digging fields, collects fruit, defeats enemies, and searches for ways to clear each stage. The play style combines route planning with quick reactions, since enemies can enter newly opened passages and threaten the player from several directions. Its colorful presentation and traditional single-screen structure make it immediately readable, while the escalating enemy pressure gives later stages a demanding rhythm. Reception has generally focused on its faithful arcade design and recognizable Mr. Do! mechanics.

| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
