Dig Dug Arrangement/Walkthrough

Round 1

The very first round in the game is the easiest and similar to the original Dig Dug board. All you have to do is inflate or crush monsters with rocks. Right when you start, Fygar the green dragon breathes fire. The bonus vegetable is the 400-point carrot.

Round 2

A new useful item will appear here: giant rocks. If the player digs just below a giant rock, it will go all the way down to the deepest part of the underground, and they have a better chance of squishing more monsters, in which you will get more points for a combo. Also featured, is a small rock, six dug up areas and five enemies: three Pookas and two Fygars. The bonus vegetable is the 600-point turnip.

Round 3

This is the round where Fast Fygars start appearing. They are red Fygars that go faster than the regular green ones, in which there are two of each kind. As such, you'll have to inflate the red ones quickly, or else they could deflate, but they do this faster than the green ones. The bonus vegetable is the 800-point mushroom.

Round 4

Here, you will find another new useful item: a ball rock. If you drop these, you could strike the monsters out, and they'll bounce off the screen! The bonus vegetable is the 1,000-point cucumber.
