- This article is about Sandbag's appearance in Super Smash Flash 2. For general information about the character, see Sandbag.
Sandbag is a newcomer unlockable character in Super Smash Flash 2. It was first revealed in SSF2 Dev Blog #5 on April 1, 2016, and initially thought to be an April Fools' joke. However, a special blog, SSF2 Dev Blog #5.1, was released two days later confirming Sandbag's inclusion as the game's "joke" character. Sandbag was a pet project by SSF2 developer, James TSON Hadden and its development was completed in a week's time thanks to the character using only three sprites in all of its animations which were then rotated, stretched, and distorted in Flash to create over 70 unique animations.
Attributes
Sandbag is a good fighter but lacks good movement and recovery options. It has a range of combo starters, up throw, up tilt, down tilt, and down throws, and finishers in forward smash, down aerial, forward throw, standard attack, dash attack, forward aerial, and Bob-omb Toss. Recovery-wise, Sandbag has a theoretical infinite recovery in its up special, but it will kill at higher percentages. Sandgrab and Sanddash lets it get a decent horizontal movement and a medium vertical movement, respectively. Its walk/dash is unorthodox and ordinarily among the slowest in the game but can be more than doubled using its crouch to interrupt its hopping animation. This technique is called soaping.
While Bob-omb Toss can get Sandbag back on stage usually, it has many disadvantages, such as killing Sandbag at high percents and racking up damage quickly due to the necessary repeated use to recover at low percents while off-stage.
Sandbag has the fastest dodges in the game.

Trivia
- Sandbag, Bandana Dee, Chibi-Robo, Mega Man, PAC-MAN, and Bomberman are currently the only true "silent characters" in the game.
- Sandbag's reveal trailer highlighted the revamped item sprites that would later be shown in Dev Blog #7.
- Sandbag cannot grab the ledge and can only move in hops instead of full sprint. It is the only character with these traits.
- Sandbag is currently the only character in the game to have a unique forward tilt and dash attack when using battering items.
- Sandbag has hitbox data in v0.9b, despite not being playable in that version.
- Sandbag, along with Bandana Dee, Naruto, Sora, Lloyd, Jigglypuff, and Pichu, is one of the characters that do not clap to the winner in the results screen. In Sandbag's case, it is seen winking with a bandage on its right side.
- In v0.9b, a glitch in the early online made it possible for Sandbag to win against a player if they self-destructed. Because Sandbag was not playable at the time, at the results screen, the announcer and victory theme remained silent, and Sandbag itself stood still.
