Swing-n-Score is an Adobe Flash game published by LunchMakers in 2005 as part of a cross-promotion with Nintendo. The game and the overall promotion were themed after both Mario Tennis: Power Tour and Mario Superstar Baseball. The game is visually similar to Bob-omb Derby.

Gameplay[edit]

Upon starting the game, the player is given the option to choose whether to play with a baseball bat or with a tennis racket. This choice changes two things: the positions of the Warp Pipe (formatted in the game's instructions as "Warp-Pipe") and the Chain Chomp on the field, and what the field is covered in (grass if the player chooses to swing a bat, and red clay if the player chooses to swing a racket). The player is given ten balls, which are shot out of a machine that is visually similar to F.L.U.D.D. To hit the balls, the player is to press the Space Bar to build power for their swing, and press the Space Bar again to swing their racket or bat. The player is to aim for the scoring zones on the field, which are displayed on a graphic at the back of the field. If the player lands within one of these scoring zones, the player gains points. However, if the player misses the ball or if the ball goes out of bounds, the player gains no points. Additionally, if the player is able to hit the Warp Pipe on the field, the player gains additional points, while hitting the Chain Chomp on the field causes the player to lose points. After the player hits all ten balls, the player is shown their score and given the option to play again.
