The Home-Run Bat's original design, used from its debut up to ''Brawl'', is that of a traditional wooden bat with a striped tip and a wrapped handle. Starting with ''SSB4'', the bat now resembles an aluminum bat and uses an ornate black-and-gold design; it bears the [[Super Smash Bros. logo|''Super Smash Bros.'' logo]] at its base and a design resembling a shockwave at its tip, reflecting the "Deadly Blow" effect that appears when a character is hit by an attack strong enough to immediately KO. | The Home-Run Bat's original design, used from its debut up to ''Brawl'', is that of a traditional wooden bat with a striped tip and a wrapped handle.

Upon performing a forward smash, the character winds up and performs a single, delayed swing 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. ''Super Smash Bros. 64'' has the fastest wind-up time in a vacuum. | ||
Along with its signature forward smash, the Home-Run Bat is also powerful when swung or thrown normally, being capable of KOing relatively early, especially in regards to its dash attack and smash throws. | Along with its signature forward smash, the Home-Run Bat is also powerful when swung or thrown normally, being capable of KOing relatively early, especially in regards to its dash attack and smash throws. | ||

In ''SSB4'', the smash attack swing is comparably faster than in ''Brawl''. In addition, a smash attack swing gives the user [[super armor]] at the very moment he or she swings the bat and is capable of instantly breaking [[shield]]s. These factors make it more dangerous to interrupt head-on when compared to previous games. Starting in ''SSB4'', the bat swing can also [[reflect]] projectiles. In ''Ultimate'', the Home-Run Bat will interrupt its forward smash swing when charging to reflect a projectile; reflecting swings have the same power as a standard forward smash, effectively giving them a nearly instant charge time if it happens to reflect a projectile. | In ''SSB4'', the smash attack swing is comparably faster than in ''Brawl''.

The Home-Run Bat deals most of its damage at the tip of the bat instead of the center; the extreme knockback in both of these hitboxes, however, makes this point relatively moot against other players (though very important in the [[Home-Run Contest]], where the former is commonly known as a "[[tipper]]"). The Bat is also powerful when thrown, dealing around 20% damage and high knockback | The Home-Run Bat deals most of its damage at the tip of the bat instead of the center; the extreme knockback in both of these hitboxes, however, makes this point relatively moot against other players (though very important in the [[Home-Run Contest]], where the former is commonly known as a "[[tipper]]").

In the [[Home-Run Contest]], the player is given a Home-Run Bat to assist in sending the [[Sandbag]] as far away from the starting platform as possible within ten seconds. While acting as the primary way to hit the Sandbag for the large majority of characters, some attacks can potentially send it farther than the actual weapon at certain high enough damages, including throwing the Home-Run Bat itself. | In the [[Home-Run Contest]], the player is given a Home-Run Bat to assist in sending the [[Sandbag]] as far away from the starting platform as possible within ten seconds.

''Smash an enemy with this slugger, and you'll send them flying out of sight; hence the name Home-Run Bat. The sound of the bat being swung immediately strikes fear into the hearts of opponents and can turn the tide of a battle. It's slightly risky to use, though; it has a very limited range, and it takes a little time to wind up for your swing.'' | |||

''A battering item. Smash a foe with this and be rewarded with the distinctive "[[Ping|KREEEEENG!]]" sound of a home run as your foe goes flying. The sound echoes with what's surely the timbre of supreme bliss. For the character being hit, though, it must be one of the scariest sounds ever. But it's not easy to use-- it swings slowly and has a limited range. High risk, high reward.'' | |||

Enemies are more difficult to send flying than baseballs, though - or so we're told - and this bat doesn't exactly have a long reach, so if you want to hear the satisfying sound of your foe flying off-screen, you'll have to work for it!'' | ||
