HOME RUN CONTEST

Recomended Characters:
Fox-Use B move(lasers) repeatedly then hit!
Yoshi-Use down A move(flutter kick)to inflict damage repeatedly then hit!

Tips:

When you swing at the last second the timer will wait for you to finish your swing so don't be afraid to procrastinate.
Don't inflict damage past the timer-- you'll miss your chance to hit the sandbag--it's all about perect timing.
If you're going to use a diffrent character than recomended make sure that he/she has a rapid effective attack that doesn't move the sandbag.
Before trying this contest I recomend you practice your swinging skills on practice mode (remember: To get a powerful swing just hold A and side like you would a smash attack).

How to earn:

Yoshi's island (past stage): Hit the sandbag over 1,300 feet.
Paper Mario trophie: Hit the sandbag over 1,500 feet or over 1,600 feet (I'm not sure which one...).

(Note: I do not remember or know how to earn everything on this mode. Estimates may be a tiny bit off.)
