Global Warning

Global Warning is the boss microgame found in the Total Drag stage in WarioWare: Touched! The name is a pun on the term "".

Gameplay
The objective of the game is to drag the Earth through an obstacle course in space. First, pairs of watermelon-like planets fire several small ammo at Earth, which it must avoid. Some comets fly in after, and the player must then capture a stranded astronaut (which is being blocked by some giant asteroids) in the earth's gravity. This allows what appears to be the moon to orbit the earth and shoot small beams. The player must use these to shoot down attacking planets, which shoot great quantities of ammo. if the Earth gets hit once, the player loses.
 * 1st level difficulty: The planets at the beginning shoot easy-to-avoid formations of ammo, and easy-to-avoid comets formations fly in. The astronaut is being blocked by two asteroids, which can easily be avoided, and they must shoot down the enemy planet, Jupiter and Saturn who fire a wave of 3 comets, deploy ships that can be shot or will explode upon reaching the lower part of the screen, and fire a hexagonal wave of ammo acting as a larger shot respectively. If all 3 are active they may perform a team attack and fire a few comets from the upper left side of the screen Only shooting down the main enemy planet is necessary as it's defeat will take all of it's allies down with it, but they can be targeted first to lessen the difficulty.
 * 2nd level difficulty: Changes from Level 1 to this level include denser comets waves and enemy ammo, the astronaut being blocked by three easy-to-avoid asteroids instead of two, and an extra, Mars like, although smaller then the Earth, planet along with the enemy planet that will fire single shots as it orbits. A second team attack has also been added where they fire 3 waves of ammo in a fan shape along with an upgrade to the first team attack where more comets are fired quicker.
 * 3rd level difficulty: The comets and enemy ammo fly in very difficult-to-avoid formations, and the astronaut is being blocked by three difficult-to-avoid asteroid. Both team attacks have been upgraded and a third one has been added. Over 10 comets are rapidly fired in the first team attack and 5 waves of fan shaped ammo are fired in the 2nd. the third involves launching 4 of the exploding ships that can be shot down before they reach you.
