'''Sandbag''' ({{ja|サンドバッグくん|Sandobaggu-kun}}, ''Sandbag-kun'') is a character from the [[Stadium]] game [[Home-Run Contest]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. It also appears as an item during matches in ''Brawl'', ''SSB4'', and ''Ultimate''.
==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
===In [[Home-Run Contest]]===
[[File:Home-Run Stadium SSBM.png|thumb|left|Sandbag in ''Melee'' during the Home-Run Contest.]]
Sandbag made its debut in ''Melee'', alongside the new [[Home-Run Contest]] event. In the mode, players are given ten seconds to hit Sandbag as far as possible using a [[Home-Run Bat]]. Sandbag is given a visible damage percentage in this mode, as to allow players to estimate how far it will travel when hit by the Home-Run Bat.
Sandbag is considered a character, allowing the game to record its damage percentage and allowing players to [[grab]] it. Sandbag can also be controlled by a human player through the use of the {{SSBM|debug menu}}. However, a majority of its moveset is not programmed, as it is not intended to move or otherwise act as a standard combatant. As a result, attempting to [[attack]], [[midair jump]], or [[shield]] with it will cause the [[game crash|game to freeze]]. In addition, Sandbag cannot be KOed, even after passing the [[blast line]]s, and it can eventually crash the game if it falls too far beyond them, as the game will eventually be unable to calculate its position on the screen. As Sandbag lacks animations for moving and jumping, it uses its idle stance for such movements.

===Trophy===
The Sandbag [[trophy]] is obtained by completing the Home-Run Contest with every character.

===In Home-Run Contest===

[[File:Home-Run Contest (Super Smash Bros. Brawl).jpg|thumb|left|Sandbag as seen in Brawl's [[Home-Run Contest]].]]
In ''Brawl'', Sandbag reprises its role in the Home-Run Contest. However, Sandbag is lighter and it also slides further after landing from a hit. Between games, Sandbag also became an item instead of a character, and therefore, it can no longer be [[grab]]bed or [[throw]]n. Its programming, however, contains unused subactions for character-based situations, such as the event of being grabbed, suggesting that it may have formerly been intended to remain as a character.
'''Sandbag''' (サンドバッグくん, ''Sandobaggu-kun'') is a character who stars in the [[Stadium]] game ''[[Home-Run Contest]]'' in both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and appears as a regular item during matches in ''Brawl''.
 
Like in ''Melee'', Sandbag's trophy is unlocked by getting a distance with all characters in the Home-Run Contest. Note that characters who may be switched during matches, namely {{SSBB|Zelda}} and {{SSBB|Sheik}}, {{SSBB|Samus}} and {{SSBB|Zero Suit Samus}}, and the {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}'s Pokémon, do not need to be repeatedly used in order to attain the trophy.

===As an item===
[[File:CD Factory.jpg|thumb|left|Example of a "CD Factory" made using Stage Builder.]]
As well as its appearance in the ''Home-Run Contest'', Sandbag can appear as an item during matches. Sandbag is a unique item in that while it can release items upon being hit, like the [[crate]] and [[capsule]], it cannot actually be picked up and thrown. It can, however, be [[item swallowing|swallowed]] by Kirby, King Dedede, and Wario, as well as [[Munchlax]].
 
As players have a degree of modification over what Sandbag can drop via the [[Item Switch]], Sandbag is also of particular interest to use in [[CD Factory|CD Factories]], a type of custom stage made using ''Brawl's'' [[Stage Builder]].
{{clr}}
 
===On the [[Online Practice Stage]]===
[[File:Online Practice Stage Brawl.jpg|thumb|left]]
Sandbag appeared on the Online Practice Stage, and players were given the option to practice combos or otherwise attack it while waiting for Wi-Fi matches to start. Sandbag's damage percent couldn’t be seen, though it did take more and more knockback the more it was hit. If sent below the bottom blast line, Sandbag would respawn in the center of the stage; this did not occur if Sandbag passed the upper blast line.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Sandbag reprises its role in the Home-Run Contest and the Online Practice Stage. Additionally, it appears when testing a [[Mii Fighter]], and it also makes a cameo in {{SSB4|Little Mac}}'s reveal trailer as his punching bag.

===As an item===
Sandbag's most prominent appearance is in the ''Home Run Contest'', a minigame where players are given 10 seconds to rack its damage up and hit it as far as possible using a [[Home-Run Bat]]. In this game, Sandbag has a visible [[damage]] percentage, and flies farther when hit at higher percentages, much like characters do. When hit off the starting platform, the camera follows Sandbag until it lands and stops moving. According to its ''Melee'' trophy description, Sandbag is not hurt by attacks, and 'loves to see players wind up and let loose'.
[[File:SandbagSSB4.jpg|thumb|Sandbag as an item in ''SSB4''.]]
Sandbag returns as an item, acting identical in function to its ''Brawl'' incarnation. It no longer drops CDs.

===Trophy===
==In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''==
{{Trophy
In ''Melee'', Sandbag is technically defined as a non-playable character, and therefore can be [[grab]]bed and [[throw]]n by players, and it is programmed not to move. Although Sandbag cannot normally be controlled by human players, it is possible to circumvent this through the use of [[Action Replay]]. Doing so allows players to control it and make it move and jump, however, attempting to make it attack causes the game to freeze, and has other problematic effects. Using [[Moveset swaps|moveset swap]] hacks, it is possible to give Sandbag the moves of a playable character. However, attempting this may still cause the game to freeze. As a character, Sandbag is unusual in that it cannot be [[KO]]d. This is because the only stage on which it is meant to be found is the [[Home-Run Stadium]].

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
In both ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', the Sandbag [[trophy]] is obtained by completing the Home-Run Contest with every character. Note that characters who may be switched during matches, namely Zelda and Sheik, [[Samus (SSBB)|Samus]] and [[Zero Suit Samus (SSBB)|ZSS]], and the [[Pokémon Trainer (SSBB)|Pokémon Trainer]]'s Pokémon, need not all be used, one each is sufficient.
[[File:SmashBrosUltimateHomeRunContest.jpg|thumb|Sandbag's ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' appearance.]]
Sandbag returns in ''Ultimate'' as an item. As a humorous aesthetic, Sandbag now shows visible happiness if left alone for a period of time or when it is grabbed. Sandbag can be grabbed and thrown, much like in ''Melee'' (unless it's in the Home-Run Contest). It has a [[weight]] of 115.


Sandbag also appears when testing a [[Spirit]] Team or a [[Mii Fighter]], or a controller configuration in the [[Options]] menu. While Sandbag no longer appears as the primary opponent in the [[Online Practice Stage]], it can randomly appear as an item instead.
==In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''==
In ''Brawl'', Sandbag is defined as an item, and therefore cannot be grabbed by regular or special grabs. Its programming contains unused subactions for character-based situations, such as the event of being grabbed, which suggests that it the game's developers may have formerly intended that it remain a character. While it cannot be grabbed, Sandbag can be eaten by [[Kirby]] and [[King Dedede]]'s [[Inhale]], and [[Wario]]'s [[Chomp]], but only during matches. As well as its appearance in the ''Home-Run Contest'', Sandbag may appear as an item during matches. It may release more [[item]]s when characters hit it. As with "container items", such as [[Crate]]s and [[Capsule]]s, the types of items it releases during [[Multiplayer]] matches and in [[Training Mode]] are determined by the game's item settings, however, it is not classified as a "container item", cannot be carried and cannot explode. In matches, Sandbag takes little horizontal knockback and cannot be KOd by the upper [[blast line]]. Sandbag also appears in the [[Online Practice Stage]], where players may attack it while waiting for Wi-Fi matches to start.


With the return of Home-Run Contest in version {{h2|List of updates (SSBU)|5.0.0}}, Sandbag once again reprises its role. Sandbag has infinite launch resistance for the first hit that connects with it, and now blushes when at high damage.
Sandbag is used in [[CD Factory|CD Factories]], a type of custom stage made using ''Brawl's'' [[Stage Builder]] that abuses the Sandbag's tendency to drop [[Sticker]]s and [[CD]]s when all other items are disabled.


===Spirit===
In ''Brawl'', there is a glitch that causes Sandbag to become invisible. To perform this glitch, a player must hit [[Kirby (SSBB)|Kirby]] while he is [[swallow]]ing a Sandbag.
The Sandbag also appears as an Advance-class [[support spirit]]. It can be first obtained by reaching 250% or more during battle.


The Sandbag's Spirit Battle uses an unmoving {{SSBU|Samus}} puppet fighter, referencing how the Sandbag is an idle character, and is fought on the [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] stage's [[Ω form]]. During the battle, the Home-Run Bat appears and the player has ten seconds to defeat Samus, referencing the similar gameplay mechanics in the Home-Run Contest.
==Elsewhere==
Sandbag's cute appearance and comical role in the series has earned it a fanbase. This fanbase was enough to earn Sandbag a position in the bracket for GameFAQs 7th character battle. Sandbag made second place in the first round, but was defeated in the second round.

==Origin==
==Trophies==
The {{iw|wikipedia|sandbag}} is a real world item. It is, as the name suggests, a bag full of sand or other material. It is used for a multitude of purposes, one of them being used to absorb blows and strikes. Versions made specifically for this purpose were created and evolved into the modern {{iw|wikipedia|punching bag}}, which Sandbag is directly inspired by. In Japanese, the English loanword "sandbag" is used to refer to punching bags.
