Sandbag is technically defined as a non-playable character, and therefore can be [[grab]]bed and [[throw]]n by players, and it 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]
 
In ''Melee'' the Sandbag [[trophy]] is obtained by completing the Home-Run Contest with every character.

*Sandbag's cute appearance and comical role in the series caused the character to gain a small, but devoted fanbase within the ''Super Smash Bros.'' community. In addition to its fanbase, Sandbag eventually earned a spot in the Seventh Character Battle hosted by [[GameFAQs]], in the eighth division. Sandbag won second place in the first round, ahead of [[wikipedia:Mass Effect|Commander Shepard from ''Mass Effect'']] and [[wikipedia:Chrono Trigger|Magus from ''Chrono Trigger'']], but ultimately lost to [[Sonic]] in the second round of voting. In addition, on April 1, 2016, Sandbag was confirmed to appear [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_y3pF8JCU0E] in the fan Super Smash Flash 2.
