Mario Party


Dinger Derby is a recurring 4-player minigame in the Mario Party series. It first appears in Mario Party 5 and returns in Mario Party: The Top 100 and Mario Party Superstars. It is also one of five minigames in the Mario Party 5 Demo part of the Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Bonus Disc.

Gameplay[]

The characters will participate in a game of batting practice, and various Mario species like Shy Guys, Koopas, and Goombas are seen cheering during the event. The characters will each be standing in front of home plate with their own bats and their own mechanical pitcher. The pitcher pitches a ball to the characters, in which they must hit with the bat. The pitching machines also pitches balls at different speeds and styles. The slower pitches allow the character to react at their own pace to them, while the fast balls require a faster reaction. At a couple of times during the minigame, the mechanical pitchers pitch a split ball, which requires the characters to pay attention when it is pitched. The character that hits the most pitched balls wins the mini-game.

Controls[]

  • A Button - Swing

Trivia[]

  • When a character hits the ball, they have a small chance of hitting one of the spectators in the crowd.
  • If the player hits all 30 buttons, a hot air balloon will be shown in the background.
