The camera is zoomed in on one of the players, and zooms out as each of them takes a practice swing, then hits a baseball. In ''The Top 100'', only the animation of players hitting a baseball is shown.

==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
Each player has 30 baseballs thrown at them by a pitching machine and must hit as many of them as possible. There are four types of pitches: a standard pitch, a fastball, a slowball, and a screwball that wobbles furiously. Which pitch is thrown depends on how long the machine winds up to throw. A fast windup indicates a slowball, a normal windup indicates a standard pitch, a slow windup indicates a fastball, and an even slower windup indicates a screwball. If the player manages to hit a ball at one of the spectators, the spectator is dazed for a moment. The player(s) who hit(s) the most balls win(s). If everyone hits the same number of balls, the game ends in a tie.
The players have 30 baseballs thrown at them by a pitching machine and must hit as many of them as possible. There are four types of pitches: a standard pitch, a fast or slow ball, and a screw ball that wobbles furiously. If two balls come toward the character, it counts as one ball, since the player can hit only one of those two. If the player manages to hit a ball at one of the spectators, the spectator will be dazed for a moment.


===Decathlon===
This minigame appears as the sixth minigame in ''Mini-Game Decathlon''. Here, the player's objective is to hit as much balls as possible to earn as much points as possible, up to a maximum of 1,000. A player can get a 1,000 if they can hit all 30 balls. The default record for this minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon is 17 points.
This minigame appears in the "Decathlon" modes in both ''Mario Party 5'' and ''The Top 100''. It is the sixth minigame in ''Mario Party 5'', and the first minigame in ''The Top 100''{{'}}s Half Decathlon. Here, the player's objective is to hit as many balls as possible to earn as many points as possible, up to 1,000. In both games, a player can get 1,000 if they can hit all 30 balls. The default record for this minigame in Mini-Game Decathlon is 17 points in ''Mario Party 5'' and 10 points in ''The Top 100''.
 
====''Mario Party: The Top 100''{{'}}s scoring system====
Players earn ~47.368 points times the number of balls hit for the first 19 balls; after 19 balls, the player scores 900 points plus another ~9.091 points for each additional hit. Decimals are rounded down.
 
The scoring in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' is much more lenient. A result of 20 gives the player 909 points; the same result in ''Mario Party 5'' gives the player only 500 points.<ref>PeachApricorn (May 22, 2013).

==Ending==
==Ending==
In ''Mario Party 5'' and ''Mario Party Superstars'', the camera changes angle and the bats disappear. The winner(s) then perform(s) their victory animation(s) while the loser(s) perform(s) their losing animation(s), as the crowd cheers and confetti and balloons appear to commend the winner's/winners' success. In ''Mario Party 5'', if any player manages to hit all 30 balls, a hot air balloon with a big number 30 on it will appear.

The players then perform their victory/losing animations as the crowd cheers and confetti and balloons appear to commend the winner's/winners' success. If any player manages to hit all 30 balls, a parachute with a 30 on it will appear. There is no ending in the Mini-Game Decathlon variation; the screen fades to white before the results are shown.
