Gnat Attack (also called Coffee Break) is a mini-game found in Mario Paint, in which the player must use the SNES Mouse to swat different fly-like enemies. The player controls a gloved hand (similar to the one seen on the title screen) holding a flyswatter, which must swat flying insects on the screen, before the insect stings the player's hand in one way or another. There are three levels, each with 100 insects; after defeating them, the boss, Watinga, appears. Completing stages causes Mario characters to walk across the screen. When the player wins the last boss it takes them back to level one and adds a small icon in the top left corner of the screen; there is no final level or reward, as the game will loop endlessly, gettling slightly harder each time.

This game was a also a microgame and mini-game in WarioWare, Inc.: Minigame Mania under the name Fly Swatter. It can be accessed by clicking the toolbar arrow on the bottom bar, and then, in the same bar, clicking the coffee cup icon.
