+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.
+As it is considered a character, Sandbag can be controlled by a human player through the use of the {{SSBM|debug menu}}}. However, a majority of Sandbag's 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 the blast lines. As Sandbag lacks animations for moving and jumping, it uses its idle stance for such movements.

 ===In Home-Run Contest===
-In ''Brawl'', Sandbag became lighter and slid farther after landing from a hit. Between games, Sandbag also became an item instead of a character, and therefore cannot be grabbed by regular or special grabs. Its programming, however, 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.

 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 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, though. It can, however, be [[item swallowing|swallowed]] by Kirby, King Dedede, and Wario, as well as [[Munchlax]].

-Sandbag appears on the Online Practice Stage, and players are given the option to practice combos or otherwise attack it while waiting for Wi-Fi matches to start. Sandbag's damage percent cannot be seen, though it does take more and more knockback the more it is hit, though it cannot be be KO'd via the upper blast line.

-==Trivia==
-*Sandbag is technically defined as a non-playable character, and therefore cannot be [[grab]]bed and [[throw]]n by players, and is programmed not to move. Although Sandbag cannot normally be controlled by human players, it is possible to circumvent this through the use of the {{SSBM|debug menu}} through an [[Action Replay]]. Doing so allows players to control it and make it move and jump, but attempting to make it [[attack]] will usually freeze the game, depending on the version, on some versions absolutely nothing happens, doing a [[midair jump]] sometimes freezes the game as well, and attempting to shield will always freeze the game; in addition, knocking it off stages will not KO it, and it can eventually crash the game if it falls too far away from the [[blast line]]s. Sandbag has no animations for moving or jumping, and as a result, it uses its "idle stance" for such movements.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klLz7uarxvo]
