One of Sandbag's biggest strengths is its damage-racking capability. Most of its moves deal good amounts of damage and have very fast startup, letting Sandbag increase its opponents' damage quickly and efficiently. Because of this, it also boasts good setups into many different finishers, such as its forward smash and dash attack. It also possesses one of the fastest sidesteps in the game.
All of its aerials have good startup and can be used as combo starters or extenders, such as its neutral and back aerials, or as finishers, most notably with its down aerial, which is currently the strongest meteor smash in the game and among the fastest. Sandbag's special moves also reflect its absurdity and unorthodox playstyle. Its neutral special, Capsule Spawn, allows it to spawn a Capsule that can contain any item currently active in the items switch and has a chance to explode instead, dealing high damage and knockback, making it a situational finisher. Its side special, Sandgrab, is a command grab, allowing it to bypass shields, and it can also provide good horizontal recovery in midair. Its down special, Sanddash, is a controllable burst of movement that can be directed anywhere, and it can cancel into any of his attacks. Lastly, its up special, Bomb-omb Toss, can potentially turn the tide of battle if a player touches the Bomb-omb first. However, as Sandbag is a joke character, its useful qualities are overwhelmed by an abundance of weak points, especially concerning its mobility, as it possesses some of the slowest raw mobility in the game. This can be remedied by using Soaping and Sanddash, with which it can then move extremely fast, covering the entire Waiting Room in about two thirds of a second. Most of its ground moves, even though they have a fast startup, also have medium to heavy ending lag, making Sandbag open to attacks if it misses said moves.
Most of its special moves are also not reliable. Though Capsule Spawn has a chance to spawn an explosive capsule, the chances of this happening are very rare additionally, the move only has use as a "get-off-me" option if all items are turned off.
