| '''Swing Kings''' is a 4-Player and Duel [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', and it is one of ten minigames featured in [[Test for the Best]]. One minigame in ''[[Mario Party 7]]'' is extremely similar, being playable only on [[Neon Heights]]. Another minigame from ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', called [[Dinger Derby]], is also similar, though 30 balls are pitched. | |

|
| Swing Kings is one of the minigames from ''Mario Party 8'' ported to the Japan-only arcade game ''[[Mario Party Fushigi no Korokoro Catcher]]''. Here, it is a Bonus Chance Game. | | '''Swing Kings''' is a baseball [[mini-game]] in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. It is a four player game, played like the [[Wii]] game called "Wii Sports". The [[player]] holds the [[Wii Remote]] just like he or she would hold a normal baseball bat and swing when the ball came closer. |

| ==Introduction== | | == Gameplay == |
| [[File:Swing Kings MP8 Introduction.gif|thumb|left|The introduction to Swing Kings]] | | A [[Shy Guy]] will throw a baseball at the character and the player has to swing the Wii Remote and hit the ball. There is a timer. When the time ends the character that hit the most baseballs will be the winner. |
| The camera is zoomed in on the first player, who is standing on home plate with a [[Shy Guy]] beside a basket of baseballs. The screen then splits into multiple screens, one for each player, and the minigame begins.

| ==Gameplay== | | == Ending == |
| A Shy Guy throws a baseball at the character, and the player has to swing {{button|wii|wiimote}} and hit the ball. Occasionally, the Shy Guy throws a ball higher or lower than normal. The Shy Guys throw 20 balls at each player; after all the balls have been tossed, the minigame ends. The player(s) who hit(s) the most baseballs win(s) the minigame. In the 4-Player variant, it is possible for there not to be a loser. If no one gets any points or if both players tie in the Duel variant, a tie occurs. If both players break the current record with the same score in the Duel variant, it counts as a new record even though neither player won.<ref>[https://youtu.be/qVClu-EO7PQ?t=1m40s Example case]</ref>{{dead link}} This also applies to [[Saucer Swarm]].
| | The character that won will do his or her winning pose in a baseball field, while in the background the players that lost will run around the field, collecting the baseballs and tossing them into a bucket. It is posible for everyone to get out of picking up the balls. |

| [[File:Swing Kings Ending.png|thumb|[[Toadette]] wins while [[Wario]] collects the baseballs.]]
| | * one minigame in mario party 7 is extremly similar. it is only playable in [[neon hights]] |
| Victorious characters perform their winning poses on a baseball field, while in the background the losing players run around the field, collecting the baseballs and tossing them into a bucket. If the results screen remains in Party Mode, the losers eventually finish picking up all the balls and just stand in their idle animation.
