'''Dinger Derby''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]'', and ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]''.
'''Dinger Derby''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 5]]'' and ''[[Mario Party: The Top 100]]''. It was also included as part of a ''Mario Party 5'' demo found on a bonus disc bundled with preorder copies of ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' The minigame's name is a variation of the real-life {{wp|Home Run Derby (Major League Baseball)|Home Run Derby}}.


==Overview==
==Introduction==

The minigame opens with each player doing a practice swing first before hitting a baseball, with only the latter animation appearing in the ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' version.  
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 players hitting a baseball are shown.


A pitching machine throws 30 baseballs at players, who try to hit as many as they can. The machine winds up at normal speed for a standard pitch; slow speed for a fastball; vice versa for a slowball, and the slowest for a screwball. It is possible to hit someone in the audience with a ball, although this only shows them dazed briefly. Players who hit the most balls by the end win, but if all players have the same score, it is a draw.
==Gameplay==
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 fastball, a slowball, and a screwball 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. The player who hits the most balls wins.


Dinger Derby is the sixth minigame in the Decathlon mode of ''Mario Party 5'' as well as the first of Half Decathlon in ''Mario Party: The Top 100''. The player tries to hit as many as they can in both, earning 1,000 points if they hit all thirty baseballs. The default record in Mini-Game Decathlon in ''Mario Party 5'' is 17 points, but for ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' it is 10 points. 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>{{cite|author=PeachApricorn|date=May 22, 2013|url=youtu.be/Xu8jGhmig0I?t=503|timestamp=08:23|title=''Mario Party 5'' ~ Mini-Game Decathlon (Mini-Game Mode)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=March 15, 2025}}</ref>
===Decathlon===
This minigame appears in the "Decathlon" modes in both games. It is the sixth minigame in ''Mario Party 5'', and the first minigame in ''Mario Party: The Top 100'' when only five minigames are played. 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 (10 in ''The Top 100'').


In the ending, which is absent from ''Mario Party: The Top 100'', the players do their respective winning and losing animations after their bats disappear, while confetti and balloons rain down. Furthermore, if at least one player hits all thirty balls, a hot-air balloon depicting a 30 appears.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/nBRItRzMqwU?feature=shared&t=51|timestamp=0:51|title=''Mario Party 5'' - Dinger Derby 30 (Perfect Score)|author=GHXST1114|date=March 10, 2024|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=March 15, 2025}}</ref>
====''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 will score 900 points plus another ~9.091 points for each additional hit. Decimals are rounded down.


It was also included as part of a ''Mario Party 5'' demo found on a bonus disc bundled with preorder copies of ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''
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'' [https://youtu.be/Xu8jGhmig0I?t=503 gives the player only 500 points].
 
==Ending==
The camera changes angle and the bats disappear. 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 hot air balloon with a big number 30 on it will appear. There is no ending in ''The Top 100''; the screen fades to white before the results are shown. This is also true of the Mini-Game Decathlon variation in both games.
