Domination is a 4-Player minigame in Mario Party 4 and Super Mario Party Jamboree. This minigame is based on Hudson Soft's Shooting Watch.

Overview[edit]

Domination from Super Mario Party Jamboree
Gameplay from Super Mario Party Jamboree

After the Whomps are shown, each player tries to hit a switch with their mallet as fast as possible within ten seconds, with each hit causing a Whomp to spring up. Once time is up, the characters topple over the Whomps as dominoes. Players who knock over the most Whomps win.

In the ending, another Whomp appears at the winning line with the winner(s) doing their secondary winning animation(s) on top, also holding a flag in Mario Party 4. In the event of a draw, every player does their losing animation.

Goomba's clock can be unlocked for the Present Room in Mario Party 4 if a human player knocks over at least 100 Whomps. Super Mario Party Jamboree also has an unlockable, the "Professional Button Masher" achievement, by knocking over at least 60 Whomps.[1]

By standard means, the scoring limit in Mario Party 4 is 160, most likely because that is Takahashi Meijin's trademark number of button presses in 10 seconds. As proven through the use of a TAS, however, the maximum number of points one can get is 300. This is because it is physically impossible (even using a TAS) to input more than 300 button presses within the frames in which Mario Party 4 runs. The stage where the minigame takes place is modeled up to 180, and the skybox is stretched up to 200.[2]

In Jamboree, the scoring limit is 300.
