Some of the strategies provided for the Homerun Contest are extremely complicated and, especially for beginners, can just about do your head in. Here is an easy way to get well over 450 metres: Player: Yoshi Strategy: As soon as you hear "Go", run to the left and grab the bat, then do a side-tilt smack with the bat (NOT a Smash). The bag should not go very far. Then jump DIRECTLY above the bag and use Yoshi's arial down A move. You should rack up at least 22% damage every time. Do this three times (four if you're quick enough). Now, jump above the bag and do a foward arial A attack (Dino Dunk). This will send the bag upwards. By this stage the clock will be at about 2 seconds, so be quick with the next step. Turn around so you are facing the left, and are situated directly below the bag. Time your final (Smash) swing of the bat, so that the handle of the bat hits the bag and not the tip. If done correctly, when the bat connects with the bag, it will not make the distinctive "ping" sound, and the bag will fly backwards. This is called a "No Ping Hit" and it sends the sandbag much higher than a regular hit. Depending on wether you performed the flutter kick three or four times, the bag should sail over 400-450 Metres. You will get the Paper Mario trophy and Unlock the Yoshi's Island stage from the Nintendo 64 Version of Super Smash Bros.
