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.

IntroductionEdit

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.

GameplayEdit

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).

EndingEdit

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.

ControlsEdit

– Tap the switch

In-game textEdit

Game Rules – "Press the switch repeatedly to set up your Whomp dominoes."
Advice – "Press as fast as you can for ten seconds."

TriviaEdit

This minigame is based on Hudson Soft's Shooting Watch. The scoring limit is 160, most likely because that is Takahashi Meijin's trademark number of button presses in 10 seconds.
