Mr. Do’s Wild Ride is a fast-paced action arcade game released by Universal in 1984, taking a sharp turn away from the digging mechanics of its predecessors. Instead of tunneling through underground labyrinths, you guide Mr. Do along a perilous roller coaster track. Your goal is to reach the exit flag at the top of the screen before time runs out, dodging runaway coaster cars and collecting cherries for points along the way.
How to Play
The objective is to climb to the top of the track and touch the flag. Use the directional controls to move Mr. Do along the rails and climb the small ladders connecting the different track sections. You can press the action button to activate a “super speed” sprint, helping you outrun incoming coaster cars, but be carefulโusing speed makes the level timer tick down much faster.
Tips
- Time your sprints: The super speed ability is essential for dodging fast-moving carts on long stretches of track, but overusing it will drain your time and cost you a life.
- Use ladders as safe zones: Mr. Do is often safe from passing carts while hanging on a ladder between tracks. Wait for hazards to pass before committing to a run.
