Part six of a complete playthrough of Drill Dozer (aka Screw Breaker in Japan) by Game Freak for the Nintendo Game Boy Advance. Jill of the Red Dozer team continues to hunt the Red Diamond stolen from her by the rival thieving group known as the Skullkers.

Stage 2-2 starts off at the statue where the boss battle of the previous level took place. As Jill makes her way further into the Kuru Ruins, she finds that much of the area has been flooded with water. Initially, the Drill Dozer cannot be submerged in water and Jill must find the upgrade to allow it to explore the depths.

Early in the level, the player will encounter a pair of rival thieves known as the Magnet Sisters. The pair will attack Jill from their submarine and the player must deflect their bullets and attack them when they leave theirselves vulnerable after each attack. After defeat, the Magnet Sisters will retreat and leave behind an upgrade that allows the Drill Dozer to work under water.

Diving underwater is a unique experience as the drill is used to propel the Dozer forward and backward. Holding down the R Button will allow the player to move forward in the direction Jill is facing while the L Button allows the Drill Dozer to move in reverse. The controls are a bit odd and do take some getting used to.

Most of the level takes place under the water's surface and features sunken mazes full of currents that can push Jill around. With enough drill strength, the Dozer can fight the currents and make its way upstream, however. Additionally, there are bubbles scattered about the area that will send Jill flying in the opposite direction when popped with the drill.

At the end of the level, the glowing orb will take control of a school of fish and attack Jill one more time. To take it down, the player must deflect boulders back into it to cause it to expose the orb.
