'''Domination''' is a 4-Player [[minigame]] in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Party Jamboree]]''. Its name is a pun on "domination" (having control over something else) and {{wp|dominoes}}. In ''Mario Party 4'', if the player is able to knock down 100 [[Whomp]]s or more, they will unlock [[Goomba]]'s clock in the [[Present Room]].

Domination is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 4 and Super Mario Party Jamboree. Its name is a pun on "domination" (having control over something else) and dominoes.

Introduction[edit]

The camera pans down a long row of Whomps, stopping on the four players. In Super Mario Party Jamboree, only the Whomps in front are shown. The Whomps then disappear into the ground as the game starts.

Gameplay[edit]

The goal is to set up the most Whomps, which act as dominoes. Each character wields a mallet and a switch. The players have 10 seconds to hit the switches as many times as possible. Each time a switch is hit, a Whomp is set up. When the time is up, the characters punch the Whomps (in Mario Party 4) or push them (in Super Mario Party Jamboree), knocking them over. The character(s) with the most Whomps knocked over win(s).

In Mario Party 4, if a player is able to knock down 100 Whomps or more, Goomba's clock will be unlocked in the Present Room.

In Super Mario Party Jamboree, the "Professional Button Masher" achievement can be earned if a player knocks over at least 60 Whomps.[1]

Ending[edit]

After all the Whomps are knocked over, at least one more Whomp appears in front of the winning line, holding a flag (only in Mario Party 4), with winners on top. Winners then do victory poses. If the minigame ends in a draw, all four players do their losing animations.
