Domination
Template:Minigame-infobox 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 the Goomba Clock in the Present Room.
Introduction
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.
Gameplay
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).
Ending
After all the Whomps are knocked over, at least one more Whomp appears in front of the winning line, holding a flag, with the winner(s) on top. The winner(s) do(es) a victory pose.
Controls
– Tap the switch

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