The '''Home-Run Bat''' (alternatively spelled '''Homerun Bat''') is an extremely powerful item in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]. Fighters can grab the bat and use it to hit other fighters or throw it at them. The smash attack of the Home-Run Bat is very powerful and deals a large amount of knockback (on normally-sized stages, enough for a one-hit KO at single-digit damage percentages), but takes a long time to execute. It launches players the farthest when hitting with the tip of the bat. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'', the Home-Run Bat reflects projectiles.


While the Home-Run Bat does send opponents flying diagonally for most characters, the item operates differently for [[Captain Falcon]] and [[Sheik]], but only in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''; the two will send foes flying upwards with their Home-Run Bats, instead of diagonally. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the Home-Run Bat has different animations for each of the different characters.

For the first three ''Super Smash Bros.'' titles, the Home-Run Bat takes the appearance of a normal wooden baseball bat. In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the bat is given a redesign: the main part of the bat is black and yellow, while the handle is red and golden. The ''Super Smash Bros.'' emblem also appears on it in gold on the handle end of the bat.

| ''Smash an enemy with this slugger, and you'll send them flying out of sight; hence the name Home-Run Bat. The sound of the bat being swung immediately strikes fear into the hearts of opponents and can turn the tide of a battle. It's slightly risky to use, though; it has a very limited range, and it takes a little time to wind up for your swing.''

The sound echoes with what's surely the timbre of supreme bliss. For the character being hit, though, it must be one of the scariest sounds ever. But it's not easy to use--it swings slowly and has a limited range. High risk, high reward.''

|''Combine this black bat with a forward smash to try for a home run, using an opponent as the ball! Unfortunately, the reach on the bat is not all that impressive, so it takes some real skill to line up a hit. Keep your chin up, though—the loud "KREEENG" of a hit makes it all worthwhile.''
