Mind the Gap is one of Orbulon's microgames in WarioWare: D.I.Y.

Gameplay[edit]

The game starts off with an item flying across the screen. The player needs to decide if the item was a dude (referred to as a feudal lord in the Japanese version), a peach, or a shoe, by tapping on the correct button. If the player guesses correctly, the game is won. However, incorrectly guessing or letting the timer run out will result in a loss.

Naming[edit]

"Mind the gap" is a phrase that normally refers to the wide space between a train and its platform; here it is used to refer to the gap where the object to be identified appears.
