Smash Rookie
The Home-Run Contest is the ultimate test of who can beat up a sandbag the
quickest and hit it the farthest. Yoshi's the man here. He holds the record
for furthest hit and you'll see why. Here, I'll list strategies to hit the
bag. You have ten seconds to fling the thing as far as you can with a Home-
Run Bat.
Note: My strategies are based on the idea that you want to unlock the stages
and trophies in this section quickly and easily, not break world records.
Also, if you set the language to Japanese instead of English the starting platform will be longer, allowing
for better scores. Also, hitting with the tip of the bat gives good
distance.
Dr. Mario: I have a very easy trick to getting at least 1100 feet in. First,
grab the bat right away and then quickly use the B + Over move over and over
and over. You should get ten hits in. With about one second left use a
smash attack with the bat and Sandbag will go flying.
Mario: Mario is a lot weaker than Dr. Mario. Grab the bat right away and
shoot four fireballs at the bag (B). Then run up to it and use six or seven
Over + B attacks. Smash the bag with the bat and it will go for about 1100
feet. If you do it right, the damage should rack up to 80%.
Luigi: Simply do five smash A + Down attacks in succession after getting the
bat. If there's time fireball it and then smash the bag for near 1100 feet.
Bowser: Get the bat as soon as you can and use five smash A + Up attacks.
When the bag is falling from the fifth step back and use a smash hit with the
Home-Run Bat. You'll get a good 1000 feet or so.
Peach: For an astounding 1300 feet! First, do three smash Up + A's. As it
lands use a Down + A smash attack twice. When it's falling use the aerial
Down + A to hit it. Then swing!
Yoshi: The main man Yoshi! It is possible to get over 6000 feet with him,
but I'll show you the easy way to do this. Grab the bat and do one jump over
the bag. Position yourself to be aligned with the bag and use the Down + A
move, not smash. This is the Flutter Kick, and should do almost 30 % damage
each time. Use it five times and with the last second use a smash attack
with the bat. You should get, with this technique, at least 5500 feet.
DK: You must be quick. Head butt the bag with Over + B and then use the Down
+ B attack on it for a while. It will not move. When time is running out
use a smash hit with the bat. If you can use this multiple times, you get
about 900 feet.
C. Falcon: You'll be lucky if you get 300 feet with this guy. Because of the
way Captain Falcon hits something with the Home-Run Bat (He hits it up)
you'll never be able to hit it more than a couple hundred feet. So, when you
start do get the bat. It is possible to deal the bag great damage with the
bat and not send it into an endless uprising. When you smash attack, doing
about thirty percent damage, pull back right away to not do a full smash. If
you do this four times and then use a Falcon Punch you'll get more than 550.
Devin Acosta suggests that you Raptor Boost (B + Right) to the bag to deal
extra damage, and while it's in the air power up one of those smash-but-not-
upwards attacks with the bat. Then repeat this to the end and do a Falcon
Punch (B) at around 2, or 1 if you're a risk-taker, seconds. Devin says that
with this technique he got 1169.96 feet, quite impressive especially for this
character!
Ganondorf: Although their moves are the same, Ganondorf hits much harder than
Captain Falcon and doesn't have the bat quirk. For over 1200 feet, grab the
bat and use a smash Up + A attack. While the bag is in the air use an aerial
Down + A attack to smash it to ground. It will be standing upright. Do this
one more time, minus the second Down + A move, and use a smash attack on the
bat. Bam!
Falco: For 800 feet, grab the bat and hit the bag with it once, non-smash,
for 12% damage. Then use continual Up + A attacks, non-smash, to juggle
Sandbag. When it crashes down to Earth when time is almost up, use a smash
attack with the Home-Run Bat.
Fox: Get the bat and shoot as fast as you can with B at the bag. When damage
is over 70% hit it with the bat for over 1000 feet. Keep doing it, mastering
the quick fire, and you'll get more.
Ness: Ness has a bat of his own, but not as good as the Home-Run Bat. Grab
the HR Bat and use a PK Fire, Over + B. As it burns jump up and use a Down +
A move to cast it to the floor. Continue the sequence of event until time
stops you and smash the bag for 700 feet.
Ice Climbers: Take the bat and stand next to Sandbag. Use a non-smash Up + A
to juggle the bag to 80%. This may take work. The Up + A I'm referring to
involves lifting the hammer up. When you're ready use a smash bat hit to use
not only Popo's bat, but Nana's hammer, to knock it 1100 feet into the
beyond.
Kirby: For about 700 feet just keep using the Up + B move. Then smite the
bag with the bat. Easy as one-two-three.
Samus: Use the following combo on the bag: Over + B (while holding up), A,
repeat. When time is running out swing the bat at the bag for about 1100
feet.
Zelda: First off, you need to be Sheik. To avoid wasting time with a
transformation, hold A as you press Z on the start screen to restart. You'll
be Sheik right off the bat (get it? I made a pun!). Sheik has a few
strategies of her own, but Zelda can actually do a pretty descent job on her
own. For 800 feet grab the bat and continually use Down + A attacks. When
time is running out smash Sandbag.
Link: For about 850 feet grab the bat and charge the bow almost all the way,
doing about 14% damage. For the remainder of the time charge the bow all the
way and the bag should just barely stay on the platform. Smash it when the
end is imminent and it will soar.
Young Link: If you do a total of 47% damage with the bow, like in Link's
strategy, Sandbag will just barely not fall off the edge. Take the bat and
bludgeon the thing to the 750 feet line.
Pichu: Take the bat and send two B moves at it. Then stand "under" the bag
and use three quick Down + B attacks. As the sandbag falls unleash a smash
attack with the bat for almost 1000 feet.
Pikachu: Take the HR Bat and have Pikachu's back face the bag. Use a series
of Up + A smash attacks to juggle the bag and when it falls charge a hit with
the bat. This yields results in the 1000 feet.
Jigglypuff: Repeatedly use the smash Up + A move until time is running out.
Position yourself under the bag and use a smash hit on it as it falls for
optimum results, about 900 feet.
Mewtwo: If you want 850 feet, nab the bat and use the Over + B as fast as you
can. When one seconds remains use a smash attack with the bat.
Mr. Game & Watch: I managed to get 600 feet with this guy. First, hit it
with the bat, non-smash. It will land on the other side of the platform.
Then use an aerial Down + A attack to send it to the very edge of the
platform. Get on the field and use an Up + A to center the bag and then use
a smash attack with the Home-Run Bat.
Marth: Marth has a fairly weak non-smash hit with the Home-Run Bat, so hit
Sandbag with it to the edge. When there use an Up + B to knock it forward a
little (from the field) and then jump behind it. Hit it once more with a
non-smash bat attack and then charge up your smash attack with the bat.
Roy: Colin SSX writes that, if you ignore the bat, use Up + B two to three
times, and then a fully charged B move, you can achieve 1000-1450 feet. He
admits to it being very difficult, but if performed correctly, it works. To
modify that, thepsychopenguin says that Up + A smash is a better option,
since it causes the bag to go straight up (as opposed to Up + B, which slants
a bit). Using this method, it's important to strike with the tip of the
blade rather than the center, the only hard part about it. I think either
method is fine, but using the bat doesn't hurt either, as you can get around
1200 with such a smash attack.
