Run Contest
The Stadium offers a different type of challenge: Using a baseball bat
to send a sandbag flying for distance. By making the sandbag soar to a
set goal, you can earn a few secret things:
The amount of distance that you can hit
the sandbag depends on how much damage you inflict on it before swinging
the bat. The higher the damage of the sandbag, the further it will travel
when it's hit. You only have ten seconds to score damage on the sandbag
and smash it with the baseball bat.
To smash the baseball bat into the sandbag,
you need to smash the control stick forward at the same time you press
the A button. This is much stronger than simply pressing 'A' to swing
the bat.
Shown here are strategies for Roy and Yoshi. If you've got an easy strategy
for another character, feel free to submit it. DetErest@detstar.com

Roy:
Here's an easy strategy to get great
distance using Roy. It was submitted by a visitor of this website.

As Roy, don't
even bother to grab the bat. Setp up, and use Roy's partially
charged A+up smash attack to send the bag into
the air. As soon as you hit it, begin charging the same smash
attack and unleash it again as soon as the bag comes back
into range.
|
|
Three well placed
A+up attacks should cause over 20% damage each,
leaving the sandbag with 63% total damage or more. After you
hit the sandbag into the air for the third time, start holding
B to charge up Roy's sword. It takes almost five seconds
to fully charge Roy's powerful sword swing, but it's well
worth it.
|
When Roy's charged
sword makes contact with the sandbag, it'll add an additional
50% damage. The sandbag will be shot into the sky like a rocket.

Yoshi:
Yoshi is another easy character to
use. While using Yoshi, you can use his dropkick (A + down in midair)
to score quick and major damage on the sandbag.
It's usually best to grab the baseball
bat first, and then get to work on damaging the sandbag. Once the
countdown gets close to the end, face the sandbag and swing.
|
With Yoshi, dropkick
the sandbag (A + down in midair) as many times as you can,
then swing the bat. Each dropkick can earn upwards of 40%
damage.
The best method,
is to make small jumps, and start your kick when Yoshi's feet
are at the top of the sandbag.
|
|
Once the countdown's
almost over, smash the sandbag with the bat before time runs
out. The higher the damage on the sandbag, the further it
will fly.
Smashing with
the baseball bat means quickly hitting the control stick forward
while pressing the 'A' button at the same time. You know you've
smashed the bat when you see blue sparkles on your swing.
|
You need to hit
the sandbag at least 1,485 feet to snag all the prizes. For
the sandbag to travel that distance, it needs to have approximately
120% damage BEFORE you smash it with the bat. |
