The main character, Jill, is the daughter of the boss of a group of [[Loveable Rogue
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Both Detective Carrie and Jill; the latter
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: {{spoiler|When Jill gets taken away by a police trap, as the police chief reads her crimes, they were of breaking in the Skullker HQ, robbing of the Art Museum, defiling the ruins where the Blue Diamond is, causing havoc at Metal City, and 17 counts of skipping restaurant bills
▲* [[Action Girl]]: Both Detective Carrie and Jill; the latter {{spoiler|punched out the final boss with her own fist!}} Oh, there is others besides those two, The Magnet Sisters count and perhaps the most overlooked of them all, {{spoiler|Jill's Mother}}.
▲* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: {{spoiler|When Jill gets taken away by a police trap, as the police chief reads her crimes, they were of breaking in the Skullker HQ, robbing of the Art Museum, defiling the ruins where the Blue Diamond is, causing havoc at Metal City, and 17 counts of skipping restaurant bills.}}
* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: Every single boss is given some weakness to drills, and it's almost always [[Freud Was Right|some big, flashing hole]].
* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]: Jill's got big eyebrows, but her father's unibrow is ''epic''.
* [[Colossus Climb]]: The boss of Area 5.
* [[Death Is a Slap
** Arguably a [[Scrappy Mechanic]] as well, since the only other use for the chips is to buy upgrades. You have to ''pay'' for Continues.
*** It's not so bad, as with all the upgrades you'll make way more than 50 chips before you're even CLOSE to dying. Hard mode requires 10 but this is burned away quickly by bosses unless you start over every time you die.
* {{spoiler|[[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|Did You Just Literally Punch Out The Final Boss?]]}}
* [[Drill Tank]]
* [[Goldfish Poop Gang]]: The Magnet Sisters.
▲* [[Girl With Psycho Weapon]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|Carrie}}.
* [[Heroic RROD]]: {{spoiler|After destroying the [[Big Bad]]'s superweapon, and right before the confrontation with the game's [[Final Boss]] no less

* [[Jiggle Physics]]: It's quite easy to miss, but Carrie's walking sprite has these. Surprising for this sort of game.▼
* [[It Makes Sense in Context]]
▲* [[Jiggle Physics]]: It's quite easy to miss, but Carrie's walking sprite has these. Surprising for this sort of game.
* [[Let's Play]]: An awesome one [http://lparchive.org/LetsPlay/DrillDozer/ by Katachresis], who makes an effort to step away from the obvious [[Double Entendre|Double Entendres]] with little effect.▼

** It seems [[Hellfire Commentaries|Ntom64 and THD]] are doing one too. They make even less effort to shy away from [[Freud Was Right]].
* [[Mineral MacGuffin]]
** It can't {{spoiler|rebuild the Red Dozer's base}}.
*** It can. The heroes just choose to do it without the Red Diamond.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: The secret areas, ESPECIALLY the fifth one. Prepare to defenestrate a GBA or two because of this game.
** And hard mode, which turns the Drill Dozer into a [[One-Hit-Point Wonder]]. Which also tends to turn each boss into [[That One Boss]]. [[Fake Difficulty|And that's the only thing that makes the game harder
* [[No-Gear Level]]/[[Stealth-Based Mission]]: The opening of Area 5-1. {{spoiler|Jill is imprisoned and separated from the Dozer, which is powered by a diamond until it finds her}}.
* [[
* [[Punched Across the Room]]: Certain Skullker robots, most notably the ones in the fifth secret area.
**
▲* [[Recurring Boss]]: {{spoiler|Detective Carrie's Policebot, and Croog.}}
* [[Rose-Haired Girl]]: Jill.
* [[Silent Protagonist]]: Guess who.
* [[Spin to Deflect Stuff]]: Many attacks can be deflected with your drill running.
* [[Tennis Boss]]: The upgraded Policebot in Area 4-1. Combat revolves around catching the explosive projectile with your drill and sending it back
* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]: Just about any time Jill finds the 3rd Gear in an area.
* [[This Is a Drill]]: Right up there with ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]''. Speaking of ''Gurren Lagann'', a lot of people think that Drill Dozer was inspired by that show because they are so similar (mainly because of the characters and the use of robots and drills). The truth is... the game came out first (2005), Gurren came out after (2007).
* [[Timed Mission]]: Occurs during
▲* [[Timed Mission]]: Occurs during mission 6-1, when you have to {{spoiler|stop the gigantic Drill Missile from destroying your home base (where Dad is recovering)}}.
** Also the fifth boss.
* [[Tube Travel]]: The many threaded tunnels that require drilling one way or the other to enter and navigate. Defeating the boss of Area 5 involved being able to navigate tunnels ''within a time limit'' to destroy the boss's weak points.
* [[Turns Red]]: Most of the [[Humongous Mecha]] bosses get more aggressive after part of them is destroyed.
** Also, the robot dog enemies turn ''white'' after you do some damage to them.
