Feats[]

Killed countless Pookas and Fygars
Has destroyed a ton of Islands with his jackhammer
Destroyed an giant Pooka Robot and Fygar
Can outrun (Or should I say DIG) Pookas & Fygars
Can tank small explosions that normally hurt Pookas & Fygars
Can somehow survive in space as seen in Dig Dug Arrangement
Digged around 5 to 6 seconds to run from the very bottom up to the very top/surface without any dirt in the way
- This means he can travel 3000 kilometers in 6 seconds while digging since that's how deep the Earth goes before reaching the liquid outer core
- Since Dig Dug's levels are heavily based on the Earth's layers, it's safe to assume that they scale
