Mr. Sandbag: Difference between revisions
(→Names in other languages: Added Latin American Spanish name. Diminutives in Spanish are not easy to translate but my best shot here is "Mr. Li'l Sack". Diminutives like this one are more informal, so if someone expected the translation to be something like "Mr. Little Sack" it would have to be "Sr. Saco Pequeño" first.) |

“ | Mr. Sandbag is in the next room. You can practice your moves on him! | ” | — Elfilin, in Kirby and the Forgotten Land |
Mr. Sandbag is an inert and harmless training dummy that first appeared in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. He somewhat resembles Golem, but has no mouth and - as his name implies - is not made of stone, but instead likely just sand in a puppet-shaped sack. Mr. Sandbag's job is to sit still and take a beating from Kirby so the pink puffball can practice various Copy Abilities without putting himself in danger.
Game appearances
Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe
Mr. Sandbag makes his first appearance in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Here, he can be found inside the training rooms in the Lor Starcutter, placed on a platform above the doorway leading out. In this game, Mr. Sandbag has 999 hit points (for reference, a regular Star 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 is defeated, a new Mr. Sandbag will appear immediately afterward. Alternatively, Mr. Sandbag can be immediately defeated by using Kirby's inhale. Mr. Sandbag provides no Copy Ability if swallowed.
Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition
Mr. Sandbag appears again in the New Challenge Stages Sub-Game, with the same look and function as before. Unlike in Kirby'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
In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Mr. Sandbag appears in Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop, and this time has a proper name and health bar. As usual, his purpose is to let Kirby test his abilities.
