Drivers[1] are truck-driving workers in Mario's Cement Factory and its reissues. Only two of them are seen in every version of the game.
Mario's task is to open the hopper lids in the cement to let the cement land inside the trucks, but if Mario is not careful, the cement containers can overload and dump cement on a driver. The driver then falls out of the truck window, injured, causing Mario to get a miss.
History
Mario's Cement Factory
In the Table Top version of Mario's Cement Factory, the drivers appear by sticking out their heads to the external sides of the screen. They are exposed to the risk of being injured by the cement, and if they are injured by the cement, the player gets a miss. A driver from this version serves as an alarm function by ringing a bell with a drumstick.
In the New Wide Screen reissue, the drivers take out their heads to the internal sides of the screen.
Game Boy Gallery
In Game Boy Gallery, the drivers reappear in Cement Factory, which is included in this compilation game. They have similar traits from the Table Top version of Mario's Cement Factory.
Game & Watch Gallery 4
In Game & Watch Gallery 4, the drivers reappear in Mario's Cement Factory's port. In here, they have exactly the same behavior from the New Wide Screen version.
