At the top of the screen, there is a large nose. At the bottom of the screen, there is a hand with a finger sticking up moving back and forth. The player must press the {{button|gba|A}} button when the finger lines up with a nostril to "dig for gold". If the player does so, the game is won. However, if the player doesn't put the finger into the nostril, or if time is up, the player will lose the microgame.

*'''1st level difficulty:''' The player must pick the nose with the pinky finger.

A version appears in ''[[Game & Wario]]'' in the "[[Gamer]]" mode and can also be unlocked as a solo game in the "Cluck-A-Pop" machine. Like usual, the player must pick a nose to win the game.

*'''1st level difficulty''': The player has to pick one nostril of a nose with a pinky finger.
*'''2nd level difficulty''': The player has to pick one nostril of a nose with an index finger.
*'''3rd level difficulty''': The player has to either pick two nostrils of one nose or one nostril each on two noses with two fingers.

Sometimes, [[Fake Out|the nose is replaced with a mouth]]. In this case, attempting to pick the mouth results in a loss.

This microgame appears in ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'' as one of Mona's microgames, with the objective not changing from the original. This version has the same music and visuals as the ''Game & Wario'' version.

*'''1st level difficulty''': The player has to pick one nostril of a nose with a pinky finger.
*'''2nd level difficulty''': The player has to pick one nostril of a nose with an index finger.
*'''3rd level difficulty''': The player has to pick two nostrils of one nose.

There's also a chance the nose that has to be picked is a camel's instead. Sometimes, the nose is replaced with either a pierced nose or an open mouth. In either case, picking it will result in a loss.
