Ultimate Home-Run Contest Returns in Smash Ultimate!

[Starry Windy]

After the recent Nintendo Direct in September 2019, Mr. Sakurai revealed in a separate video that Home-Run Contest has been added in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate! In this mode, you beat up the Sandbag within the time limit, and you should finish it with a swing of Home-Run Bat before the time goes to 0. You can play it alone, or with the second player as well!

What do you think? Did you miss playing this mini-game? Discuss away.

So if this really is the last added mode to Smash...okay I guess. Not my first choice, even target blast would have been more fun, but I get there's a lot of modes in Smash already and this was probably most least painful mode to put the work into adding. In other words...

Melee and every game on had it so I believe it makes sense. Especially because each smash game tweaks the system and movesets of every character it's interesting to see what people can do in that small amount of time and since every character is different there's a lot of variety of options. Especially in 2 player. Sakurai is secretly the 2-player master btw. Sure it's not like Melee adventure mode or SSE but those are out of the question and since there's still more work being done on the game in every update I think aside from custom stages "Break the Targets" is still possible and an update/DLC with that feature wouldn't surprise me.
