The Home-Run Bat (ホームランバット, Home Run Bat) is a battering item in all four Smash Bros. games. It is best-known for its one-hit KO potential.
While the Home-Run Bat functions like regular battering items, it has the unusual property of completely altering the character's forward smash. Upon performing a forward smash, the character winds up and uses an extremely powerful attack that can potentially KO opponents in a single hit. The attack always takes a set amount of time and cannot be charged, making it the only such item to alter this mechanic in players. (more...)
