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. When hit off the starting platform, the camera follows Sandbag until it lands and stops moving. According to its ''Melee'' trophy description, Sandbag is not hurt by attacks, and 'loves to see players wind up and let loose'.

In ''Melee'', Sandbag is technically defined as a non-playable character, thus it can be [[Grab|grabbed]] and [[Throw|thrown]] 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 [[Action Replay]]. Doing so allows players to control it and make it move and jump, however, attempting to make it attack causes the game to freeze, and has other problematic effects. Using [[Moveset swaps|moveset swap]] hacks, it is possible to give Sandbag the moves of a playable character, however attempting this may still cause the game to freeze. 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 (SSBM)|Home-run Stadium]].

In ''Brawl'', however, Sandbag is defined as an item, and therefore cannot be grabbed by regular or special grabs. It may be eaten by [[Kirby]] and [[King Dedede]]'s [[Inhale]], and [[Wario]]'s [[Chomp]], but only during matches. As well as its appearance in the ''Home Run Contest'', Sandbag may appear as an item during matches. It may release more items when characters hit it. In matches, Sandbag takes little horizontal knockback and cannot be KOd by the upper [[blast line]]. Sandbag also appears in the [[Waiting Room]], where players may practice on it while waiting for online matches to start.
