Dinger Derby

Dinger Derby is a 4-player minigame in Mario Party 5. The players will have 30 baseballs thrown at them by a pitching machine of sorts and must hit as many of them as possible. There are four types of pitches, a standard pitch, a fast or slow ball, and a screw ball that wobbles furiously. In the backround, one can see an audience in the stands made up of koopas, goombas and others. In fact, oftentimes the ball a player hits will hit one of them! This is one of the minigames where high scores are recorded.
