Snipper is an antlion-like pair of scissors which flies out of pits of quicksand to attackKirby. It is invulnerable and serves as a hazard to be avoided.

Snipper is a small orange creature with huge pincers. It hides inside sand pits, and will jump up with its huge jaws to snip Kirby if he gets close. Snipper can often be seen guardingFood and other items.

Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble[edit]

Snipper was retrofitted from its previous appearance into 8-bit in order to appear inKirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, where it serves the same purpose as before. It is arguably more effective at ambushing Kirby in this game, since its hiding places in the sand are not nearly as obvious as they were inKirby 64: The Crystal Shards, and it strikes more quickly.

InKirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, Snipper can be found in the following levels and stages:
