Dinger Derby

Dinger Derby is a 4-player minigame in Mario Party 5.

Introduction
The camera is zoomed in on one of the players, and zooms out as each of them takes a practice swing, then hits a baseball.

Gameplay
The players has 30 baseballs thrown at them by a pitching machine 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.

Ending
The camera changes angle and the bats disappear. The players then perform their victory/losing animations as the crowd cheers and confetti and balloons appear to commend the winner's success.

In-Game Text

 * Rules from Mario Party 5: "Swing the baseball bat and hit the pitches from the pitching machine. Whoever hits the most pitches wins."
 * Advice from Mario Party 5: "Try watching the speed of the arm to predict the speed of the pitch."

Trivia

 * If the player manages to hit a ball at one of the spectators, the spectator will be dazed for a moment.
 * If two balls come toward the character, it counts as one ball, since the player can hit only one of those two.
 * If the player manages to hit all 30 balls, a parachute with a 30 on it will appear.
