Hit the Gust is one of Mike's microgames found in WarioWare: Touched! in the Mic Rocking stage and returns as one of his microgames in WarioWare Gold. Its name is a pun on the phrase "hit the gas".

Gameplay[edit]

The player has to to blow into the mic to operate a green car with a fan on the top, causing it to move out of a unsafe zone into a safety zone. The safe zone flashes compared to the rest of the terrain. This has to be done precisely, for on the other side of that zone is also unsafe. At the end of the microgame, the ceiling that only exists for the unsafe zones drops down, crushing the car and its driver if they are not in the safe zone. If this occurs, the player loses.

In WarioWare Gold, the car is piloted by a mouse, and it also gives off a glow. The safe zone glows white and does not flash, and there is a slice of cheese in it. The ceilings are instead two cages. If the car stops safely, the mouse will walk out and prepare to eat the cheese. If the car gets hit by the falling cages or is trapped in the cages, the player loses. The fan of this car is much larger than in Touched!, but it can be ignored. While the falling cage can knock the fan away, this has no effect on the outcome.

• 1st level difficulty: The safety zone is large. In WarioWare: Touched!, if the player keeps blowing into the microphone from the very beginning at maximum power and passes the safety zone, another safety zone can be reached.
• 2nd level difficulty: The safety zone is rather small.
• 3rd level difficulty: The safety zone is smaller.
