Sandbag: Difference between revisions

'''Sandbag''' (サンドバッグくん, ''Sandobaggu-kun'') is the character that appears in the [[Stadium]] game "[[Home Run Contest]]" in both ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. In this mode, it stands perfectly still, so the player can hit it. Although it cannot be controlled by a player through normal means, it can if you have an [[Action Replay]]. It is simply programmed not to move in Home Run Contest. However, even though it is able to move and jump, it cannot attack. Instead, an attempt to attack causes the game to freeze along with additional undesirable effects. Sandbag is also strange because it cannot be [[KO]]'d. This is because in Home Run Contest, the only stage it is meant to be played on is the Home Run Contest stage, where if it was KO'd, the mini-game would not be playable. Instead, it continues moving in the direction it was sent moving, and can be seen by changing the camera angle. Sandbag's cute appearance and comical role in the series has gained it something of a fanbase. This fanbase has been enough to get Sandbag on the bracket for GameFAQs 7th character battle.
