*'''BMO: B Moves Only.''' Only | *'''BMO: B Moves Only.''' Only special moves are allowed, and the last attack to hit Sandbag must be a special move. The bat can be used, so somewhat unique bat drops / throws are utilized. Bat swing cannot be used, as it counts as a forward smash. In ''Brawl'' with the advent of the barrier, the record strategies for this subcategory have mostly turned into multiple bat drops with a single special move used to finish, which some argue is against the category's original purpose. | ||

*In ''Melee'', Sheik ends up sending opponents flying vertically with the Home-Run Bat.

*[[Jigglypuff]] is one of the few characters in the mode that can be KO'd, by breaking its shield. Also, [[Snake]] can be KO'd by blowing himself up with [[C4]], and [[Steve]] can be KO'd by blowing himself up with [[TNT]]. Should this happen, these characters will respawn from the [[revival platform]]. | *[[Jigglypuff]] is one of the few characters in the mode that can be KO'd, by breaking its shield.

**At least in ''Melee'', with theoretically perfect randomization, it is possible for {{SSBM|Peach}} to KO herself by pulling at least 6 [[Bob-omb]]s within the 10 seconds {{YouTube|np3MmCwyik8}}, though it has not been proven if the game's pseudorandom algorithm is sufficiently high-quality to actually generate this. | **At least in ''Melee'', with theoretically perfect randomization, it is possible for {{SSBM|Peach}} to KO herself by pulling at least 6 [[Bob-omb]]s within the 10 seconds {{YouTube|np3MmCwyik8}}, though it has not been proven if the game's pseudorandom algorithm is sufficiently high-quality to actually generate this. | ||
*While ''Ultimate''{{'}}s version of the Home-Run Contest powers up several characters by default, such as giving Joker Arséne, and giving Steve his diamond tools, {{SSBU|Lucario}} still begins with minimum [[aura]], as he does in previous games, giving him a significant handicap as his attacks all have a 0.66× damage multiplier. | |||
