Domination is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 4. Its name is a pun on "domination" (having control over something else) and dominoes. If the player is able to knock down 100 Whomps or more, they will unlock Goomba's clock in the Present Room.

Introduction

The camera pans down a long row of Whomps, stopping on the four players. The Whomps then disappear into the ground as the game starts.

Gameplay

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, knocking them over. The character(s) with the most Whomps knocked over win(s).

Ending

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

Controls

• – Tap the switch

Trivia

• This minigame is based on Hudson Soft's Shooting Watch.
• As proven through the use of a TAS, the maximum number of points one can get is 299. This is because it is physically impossible (even using a TAS) to input 300 button presses within the frames in which Mario Party 4 runs.
