Sandbag (サンドバッグくん, Sandobaggu-kun) is an item, (although the game internally considers it as a character in Super Smash Bros. Melee) which appears in the Stadium game Home Run Contest in both Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It also appears as a regular item, during matches, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
Sandbag's most important appearance is in the Home Run Contest, a minigame where players are given 10 seconds to rack its damage up and hit it as far as possible using a Home-run Bat. In this game, Sandbag has a visible damage percentage, and flies farther when hit at higher percentages, much like characters do.

As a character, Sandbag is unusual in that it cannot be KO'd. This is because the only stage on which it is meant to be found is the Home-run Stadium.
In Brawl, however, Sandbag is defined as an item, and therefore cannot be grabbed by regular or special grabs. Sandbags may be eaten by Kirby and King Dedede's Inhale, and Wario's Chomp, but only during matches. As well as appearing in the Home Run Contest, Sandbags may appear as an item during matches.

Sandbag's cute appearance and comical role in the series has earned it a fanbase. This fanbase was enough to get Sandbag into the bracket for GameFAQs 7th character battle. Sandbag made second place in the first round, but was defeated in the second round.
Sandbags are often used in 'CD Factories', a fan named term for a type of custom stage made using Brawl's Stage Builder that abuses a Sandbag's tendency to drop Stickers and CDs when all other items are disabled.
A glitch also causes Sandbag to become invisible in Brawl. To perform this glitch, hit Kirby while he is swallowing a Sandbag.
Trophy Information
Melee
Sandbag exists for one reason only: to get smashed in the Home-Run Contest. Pound on Sandbag as much as possible in the time allotted, then swing for the fences as you compete for the longest home run of all time. Getting hit doesn't hurt Sandbag at all. As a matter of fact, it loves to see players wind up and let loose.
Brawl
An item that appears in the Home-Run Contest, where the goal is to do lots of damage to Sandbag, then send it flying as far as you can. It also appears in the regular game. If you smash it, a storm of confetti and items will burst out. Sandbag doesn't feel pain, though; in fact, it's happy to be of service.
