Mr. Sandbag is an inert and harmless training dummy that first appeared inKirby's Return to Dream Land. He somewhat resemblesKirby; however, he has no mouth and—as his name implies—is made of sand in a puppet-shaped sack (he is beige with a volleyball-like pattern and brown hands and feet). Mr. Sandbag's job is to sit still and take a beating from Kirby so the pink puffball can practice variousCopy Abilities without putting himself in danger.

Game appearances[edit]

Kirby's Return to Dream Land /Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

Mr. Sandbag makes his first appearance inKirby's Return to Dream Land. Here, he can be found inside the training rooms in theLor Starcutter, placed on a platform above the doorway leading out. In this game, Mr. Sandbag has 999hit points (for reference, a regularStar Bullet deals 52 damage), meaning he can take quite a lot of damage, but not an infinite amount. As he loses health, he starts to flash red at 666 HP and starts flashing faster at 333 HP. Once he's defeated, a new Mr. Sandbag will appear immediately afterward. Alternatively, Mr. Sandbag can be immediately defeated by using Kirby'sinhale. Mr. Sandbag provides no Copy Ability if swallowed. In theremake, Mr. Sandbag uses his updated appearance fromKirby and the Forgotten Land.

Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition[edit]

Mr. Sandbag appears again in theNew Challenge StagesSub-Game, with the same look and function as before. Unlike inKirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby does not always have an opportunity to inhale Mr. Sandbag in this game, since he will always be forced to choose and keep an ability before entering the training rooms in each level, unless he chooses to use his Normal form in the training room for Last Land. Notably, the Mr. Sandbag in this training room is larger, and has 1.5 times more HP than the others.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land /Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World[edit]

InKirby and the Forgotten Land and itsNintendo Switch 2 Edition, Mr. Sandbag appears inWaddle Dee's Weapons Shop, and this time has a proper name and health bar. His bead-like eyes are replaced by button-like ones. As usual, his purpose is to let Kirby test his abilities. In this game, Mr. Sandbag has 990hit points (for reference, a regularStar Bullet deals 80 damage).

Trivia[edit]

• Mr. Sandbag's name may be a reference to theSandbag from theSuper Smash Bros. series, who is named サンドバッグくん (Sandbag-kun) in Japanese. The similarity is more apparent in Japanese, where Mr. Sandbag is called サンドバッグさん (Sandbag-san). In addition, Sandbag himself appears inKirby Air Riders, further supporting the dynamic.
