“You're in spitting distance!”

—Snifit,Paper Mario: Color Splash

Snifits areShy Guys^[1] with an extended nozzle for a mouth on their mask, which along with the dark coloration causes it to resemble agas mask. Through their protrusion, they can fire projectiles, most commonly small, metallic bullets. Though Snifits first originated inYume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, they became a part of theSuper Mario franchise when the game released internationally asSuper Mario Bros. 2. Snifits usually wear red robes, but they have also worn pink, gray, green, blue, black, purple, yellow, and orange.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic /Super Mario Bros. 2 /Super Mario Advance[edit]

A Snifit's original design forSuper Mario Bros. 2

InYume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic andSuper Mario Bros. 2, Snifits are less common than their Shyguy relatives and come in red, pink, gray and green. They are affiliated with the8 bits and are said to spit bullets made from nightmares.^[2][3] Snifits also appear as one of the symbols in theBonus Chance.

Despite being the most common color in later entries, there is only one red Snifit, found inWorld 3-3. Both red and pink Snifits periodically stop to spit a bullet if they're at a similar height to the player character. Similarly to the Shyguys of the same colors, red Snifits walk off ledges, while pink Snifits turn around when they reach them. They can also periodically change direction to face the player character.

Gray Snifits stand in place facing the player character and jump every few seconds. Unlike other Snifits, they do not shake before spitting a bullet, and do so regardless of the player character's position. They also have a chance of spitting a bullet at the height of their jump. Grey Snifits appear as green in the desert-themedWorld 2 andWorld 6, due to sharing their color palette withPokeys.

InSuper Mario All-Stars andSuper Mario Advance, pink and green Snifits are instead blue and gray respectively, the latter of which is due to the green and gray objects no longer needing to share a palette. Unlike Shyguys in these versions, all Snifits' sprites depict them with shoes of the same pale color. Their sprite in the Bonus Chance instead depicts them with brown shoes.

Super Mario 64 /Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

Main article:Snifit (Super Mario 64)

InSuper Mario 64 orSuper Mario 64 DS, aghost-like variation of Snifit appears, which is inconsistently depicted as either an atypical depiction of Snifits or a close relative.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]

“I got an idea! Let's use that rock thing for a bridge!”

—Snifit, "Brooklyn Bound"

Several Snifits fromThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show!

Blue Snifits from the episode "Mario and Joliet"

Snifits make several appearances inThe Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, where they are most often portrayed as the minions ofKing Koopa and as shock troops of theKoopa Pack. In the episode "The Unzappables," Snifits are used in a manner similar to handheld machine guns. In the episode "On Her Majesty's Sewer Service," a Snifit shootsBullet Bill-like projectiles towards the Mario Bros.

Snifits are featured in the following episodes:

• "Butch Mario & The Luigi Kid"
• "Brooklyn Bound"
• "On Her Majesty's Sewer Service"
• "Mario and Joliet"
• "The Unzappables"
• "The Great Gold Coin Rush"

Super Mario Bros. (Valiant Comics)[edit]

Snifits are featured in several comics of theSuper Mario Bros. series of comics, where they appear as high-ranking minions of King Koopa, as they are shown to command and train his Shyguy troops. One particular unnamed Snifit is featured prominently in the comic "Duh Stoopid Bomb!" where the Snifit, after accidentally becoming very intelligent after being caught in the explosion of aSmart Bomb, usurps Bowser of his armies; however, since they are all still under the effect of theStupid Bombs, he is unable to command them efficiently.

Super Mario Adventures[edit]

InNintendo Power'sSuper Mario Adventures comic serial, a Snifit can be seen among the attendees toBowser's forced wedding toPrincess Toadstool.

Super Mario Bros. (film)[edit]

Snifits in the 1993Super Mario Bros. film

Snifits in the 1993Super Mario Bros. film are depicted as mask-wearing garbage collector workers, and bear some resemblance to theFungus Unit featured earlier in the film. As they are always depicted with their masks and suits on, it is never made clear as to their appearance or species but they are not shown to be able to properly speak, instead communicating through dinosaur-type creature noises. They work collecting and transporting trash in and out of theDinohattan city with theirSludge Gulper trucks.

When they are out in theKoopahari Desert,Mario,Luigi,Iggy andSpike come to a junk yard with Snifit workers. They knock out some workers with the brothers' plungers and overtake their Sludge Gulper. All four of them put on Snifit masks to blend in and successfully leave the junk yard without the other Snifits noticing. Later in the film, a Snifit briefly appears driving the Sludge Gulper that transports Mario and Luigi to the entrance ofKoopa's Tower after theirBoom Boom Bar escape.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

Snifits inSuper Mario-kun

An army of Snifits appears in volume 8 ofSuper Mario-kun. They attackMario,Luigi, andYoshi, but Mario catches them off guard by dressing as Chef Mario fromYoshi's Cookie and then using assets from the game.

Yoshi's Island series[edit]

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island /Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3[edit]

A Snifit's design forSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

Snifits are uncommon enemies inSuper Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, appearing inMarching Milde's Fort,The Deep, Underground Maze, andKEEP MOVING!!!!. Snifits walk around and sometimes change their direction towardsYoshi, whom they attack by shooting oval-shaped projectiles at. A Snifit can be defeated from either being jumped on, eaten, or hit with anegg. Snifits are noticeably larger than regular Shy-Guys, and all wear salmon-pink robes and dark-purple shoes. Anunused graphic depicts a body for a red-robed Snifit at 16x16 pixels drawn in a similar manner toToadies in the final; pre-release builds show they originally hadKamek's Toadies' role and propellers.^[4]

Yoshi's Island DS[edit]

Main article:Scorchit

InYoshi's Island DS, Snifits do not appear, but a species derivative of Snifits calledScorchits appear. These enemies blow fires out of their mouths which can melt ice.

Yoshi's New Island[edit]

Snifits are enemies inYoshi's New Island. They are roughly the same size as regular Shy Guys. They first appear inHeads Up, Hop Up, where they shoot in one spot without moving and walk back and forth. A simple stomp or eating them can defeat them.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars[edit]

InSuper Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars andits remake, Snifits, originally referred to asSpookums, wear blue robes and are only found inBooster Tower, being among the few enemies that disappear for the rest of the game after being defeated. In the remake, their blue robes now match their modern design first seen inPaper Mario: Color Splash.

In battle, a Snifit attacks by hitting a party member with its mouth. It can also attack withHot Shot andCrystal, or useGunk Ball tomute aparty member. When a Snifit is attacked usingTerrorize, it automaticallyruns away from battle.

Black-robed Snifits known asSnifsters also appear, mostly as an organization working forBooster. Five Snifits aspire to become a member of Booster's Snifsters and individually train inBooster Pass as anApprentice. If they defeat Mario, the first four will become full-fledged Snifsters, while the last will be rejected for arbitrary reasons. In the original localization, they are simply referred to as Snifits.

Mario Party series[edit]

Mario Party 2[edit]

No normal Snifits appear inMario Party 2. However, theSpace Land board contains an organization called theSnifit Patrol, though the only member of it seen is of theSuper Mario 64 depiction.

Mario Party 3[edit]

Artwork of a Snifit inMario Party 3

Snifits appear inMario Party 3 as the starting partner ofPrincess Daisy in the game's Duel Mode. It has an attack power of 2, a stamina stat of 2, and a salary of 5 coins per turn. It sometimes finds 2-4 coins at the start of its player's turn, effectively reducing its salary.

Mario Party Advance[edit]

The Snifit of Shroom City inMario Party Advance

“I'm so excited, I won't be able to sleep!”

—Snifit,Mario Party Advance

InMario Party Advance, Snifit appears in theShroom City mode. According to his description, he's a fan of being scared. He is found on the second floor of theHorror Condo, and when approached, he asks for the player's andMr. E's help. If accepted, he explains that, despite the rumors about the Condo, he has not seen a single ghost since he's arrived. He then asks them to bring a ghost to his apartment, and says that he would do it himself, but there have been some problems between him and the ghosts. After reminding the ghosts to haunt the Condo, they start appearing in Snifit's room, leading to Mr. E running away in fear. Snifit gladly thanks the player and gives them thePorta-GustGaddget. The ending credits state that, despite Snifit's initial excitement, he has grown tired of seeing the ghosts.

Mario Party Superstars[edit]

InMario Party Superstars, the Snifit Patrol returns along with the Space Land board, this time run by normal-looking Snifits.

Super Mario Party Jamboree[edit]

Snifits reappear inSuper Mario Party Jamboree on various boards. A blue Snifit runs the Last-Place Shop inRainbow Galleria and only sells items if the last-place player lands on the correspondingEvent Space. A red Snifit also appears pursuing aWhomp during an event inRoll 'em Raceway (referencing theSnifit Patrol onSpace Land), and several Snifits appear inKing Bowser's Keep: a red Snifit runs on a gear in the background, a blue Snifit oversees some development, and a black Snifit mans twoBill Blasters, which deduct five coins from players who land on the corresponding Event Space. Snifits also makes an appearance in the background of the 1 vs. 3 minigameLost and Pound, and some statues bears their likeness in the Showdown minigameLuigi Rescue Operation.

Mario Kart series[edit]

A Purple Snifit (far left, lower row) fromMario Kart: Double Dash!!.

Snifits make a few minor cameos in theMario Kart games. InMario Kart: Super Circuit, they make a cameo appearance in theSunset Wilds course, where their likenesses are carved on two totem poles featuring aToady on the bottom, it in the middle, and aShy Guy on the top. In theMario Kart Tour iteration of the course, the totem poles are replaced by more cacti. Their next appearance in the series isMario Kart: Double Dash!!, where they make another cameo as characters in the audience ofWaluigi Stadium. However, they were removed from the course inMario Kart Wii, due to using the same audience animation from the other courses.

Mario & Luigi series[edit]

Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga /Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions[edit]

In theMario & Luigi series, Snifit derivatives are common.Laser Snifits (actuallyWoohoo Hooniversity's transformedBeanish professors),Spiky Snifits,Ice Snifits, andGunner Guys appear inMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga andits remake.

Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time[edit]

Main article:Snifaro

InMario & Luigi: Partners in Time, a Snifit derivative calledSnifaro appears inGritzy Caves. Snifaro is a Snifit pharaoh in a sarcophagus that is standing atop an ordinary Snifit, which is revealed when they open it up to shoot bullets. If the player uses aBros. Flower on one, the sarcophagus burns up, resulting in the Snifit fleeing and the Snifaro remaining to fight on its own.

Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story /Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey[edit]

InMario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story andits remake, Snifits only appear during enemy battles with a derivative species of flower-like Snifits calledFlifits, and Flifits' younger formSneeds. When Flifits lose their petals, aHane Mūcho appears to pour some water on them and heal them.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam[edit]

Even though Snifits do not appear physically inMario & Luigi: Paper Jam, its name sometimes appears as a wrong answer for identifying a certain enemy in the Toad quizzes.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong series[edit]

Snifits^[5][6][7] appear with a toy-like design in theMario vs. Donkey Kong series. UnlikeShy Guys, they do not wander freely on land. Instead, they stand in one place, wind up with a noise, then shoot five bullets, slightly recoiling backward with each shot; after a moment, they return to where they were standing and repeat their routine. Bullets fired from Snifits cannot pass through any solid object, but can destroyMinis upon contact.

In theNintendo Switchremake of the originalMario vs. Donkey Kong game, theFire Shy Guy enemies are redesigned to look like Snifits.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis[edit]

InMario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis, Snifits appear inJungle Hijinks. Exclusively in this game, the player can manually make a Mini jump onto a Snifit's head to ride on top of it.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again![edit]

InMario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!, Snifits are first encountered inRoom 4-4 ofJungle Rumble. Their actions are slightly slower, and they have spikes on their head, indicating that a Mini will break if it tries to jump on a Snifit.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem![edit]

InMario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!, Snifits are found inCannon Cove andSecret Storage. They move more quickly than their previous appearances, and they no longer have spikes on their head; however, in this game, a Mini still breaks if it lands on top of a Snifit.

Yoshi Touch & Go[edit]

Main article:Propeller Mūcho

Normal Snifits do not appear inYoshi Touch & Go, being replaced byPropeller Mūcho that are based onFly Guys.

Paper Mario series[edit]

Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]

TheSnifit or Whiffit show

Snifits make theirPaper Mario debut inPaper Mario: Sticker Star. Snifits are first present inWorld 3, where they are the most common enemy found, an optional foe, and they are under the direct command ofBowser. For example, one Snifit is seen in The Bafflewood. It can be seen walking back and forth. There is also one Snifit hiding in the bushes trying to make the player not notice it. Snifits can be encountered on land or in poisonous water, which they are implied to enjoy. Snifits also appear inBowser's Snow Fort alongside Shy Guys. They can be found in the trash area ofShy Guy Jungle before the player uses the goat or vacuum Things. Mario may pull one out and battle it.

A game show calledSnifit or Whiffit is hosted by a Snifit who goes by the said name. Mario must participate in this game in order to obtain aWiggler Segment, which is necessary for progress. If Mario completes the three challenges, Snifit asks him to participate in another one, which combines the first two challenges. If Mario wins this final challenge, he is awarded theRadiator Thing (Coins if he returns and has already collected the Radiator).

In battle, Snifits have many attacks: they can either spit out one bullet at Mario or a barrage of three. If Mario uses aTail or any other sticker that includes aSpike Helmet, aFrog Suit or aSuper Boot, the Snifits may attempt to push Mario much like theClip Guy's andPaint Guy's attack when they try to clip or paint Mario. If successful, Mario loses the sticker. If Mario is able to attack multiple times via theBattle Spin, a Snifit may also knock away one of Mario's attacks. Snifits are mostly assisted byNinjis,Clip Guys,Shy Guys,Piranha Plants, andPoison Bloopers, but they can also be assisted byScuttlebugs andGoombas; some Snifits fight alone.

In its artwork, they are wearing brown bandannas and dark red robes while in-game they are wearing yellow bandannas and light red robes.

Paper Mario: Color Splash[edit]

“Sniff something? Say something.”

—Snifit Undersand Hideout poster,Paper Mario: Color Splash

Mario talks to two friendly Snifits inPaper Mario: Color Splash.

Snifits return inPaper Mario: Color Splash as enemies and NPCs. Like inSticker Star, Snifits attack in battle by spitting a bullet at Mario, sometimes three consecutively.

In this game, Snifits are often shown as Shy Guys' superiors. A pink Snifit is the leader of theShai Guyz inthe Golden Coliseum. A red Snifit commands a group ofShy Guy 5-Stacks inFort Cobalt, while other Snifits coach Shy Guys in the exercise room. Snifits can also be found atPlum Park, where they are able to freely walk in the poisoned water. Two Snifits also appear sitting at a table, discussing their preferences of coffee over tea. Eight red Snifits are riding a train car of theSunset Express, threatening the redRescue Squad members.

InRedpepper Volcano, a blue Snifit advises aFire Bro on throwing fireballs. When Mario defeats them all, he is disappointed and plans to train a new squad. AnIce Bro appears, asking to be on the team, and throws an iceball that fails to hit Mario. The blue Snifit is unimpressed and rejects him. InRedpepper Crater, Snifits are among the enemies in one of the spas. Two friendly Snifits also appear in this level, one near the Mini Paint Star and the other before a series of moving platforms.

Snifits prominently appear in theMustard Café. Outside the café, various Snifits wait in line and order coffee once the restaurant re-opens. When Mario and theMustard Café chef fall into the sinkhole, before they can reach the exits, they are grabbed by Snifits and pulled into theSnifit Undersand Hideout. The chef is shown trying to bribe a Snifit to let him escape but is denied. This area contains various Snifit-themed posters and a group of Snifits ambush Mario as he attempts to collect theSnifit's Card Key.

Snifit or Whiffit returns fromSticker Star, this time taking place inCobalt Base.Host Snifit introduces the game once again, while a newInformant Snifit sells Mario cards he needs to play the game. Two pink Snifits reward Mario with theInstant Camera if he wins the bonus round. Additionally, a Snifit is the third-round opponent inRoshambo Temple #6.

Multiple variants of Snifit are introduced in this game.Slurp Snifits are parallels toSlurp Guys, appearing in areas such asToad Trainworks and Mustard Café. In addition to spitting bullets, they may absorb Mario's paint.Spike Snifits wear helmets that protect them from jump attacks, similarly toSpike Guys.Whistle Snifits can summon enemies during battle. AChariot Snifit assistsIggy Koopa in the Golden Coliseum. In addition, blue, green, and pink Snifits’ robes are now the same as the Shy Guys' modern robe designs, while yellow Snifits make their debut.

Paper Mario: The Origami King[edit]

“Don't mind me. Just sniffin' the bed. Hey! Don't act likeyou wouldn't be sniffin' it if I weren't here first. Wait, are you not a Snifit?”

—Snifit,Paper Mario: The Origami King

"Snif City" inhabited by Snifits

An origami Snifit

Snifits reappear inPaper Mario: The Origami King, where red, blue, green, pink, and yellow Snifits can be found inShroom City as one of the main inhabitants. Prior to defeatingHole Punch, they take over the aforementioned city, renaming it into "Snif City". Several Snifits also appear inToad Town, where a yellow one temporarily runs a confetti sale, and another temporarily runs the outdoor café. Snifits also run the shops inShangri-Spa. OnClub Island, Mario can find a Snifit stuck in a tree, who offers to recharge hisToad Radar for 1,000 coins. A friendly Snifit in a samurai outfit is among thecosplayers inShogun Studios. A Snifit may run in the race in the Race 'n' Place minigame inShy Guys Finish Last, and it will spit bullets at the opponents if it gets too far behind.

Additionally, origami Snifits appear in the game as enemies. They can shoot a single bullet at Mario for 6 damage, or three in a row that each deal 8 damage. Stacked Shot involved multiple Snifits stacking together and shooting Mario, doing 7-9 damage with two Snifits, 10-14 with three, 13-19 with four, 16-24 with five, 21-31 with six. Firing Squad is a group attack that deals 7 damage per Snifit, with a maximum of 8 damage for two or three Snifits, 9 for four or five, or 10 for six. Other group attacks include a Pyramid Attack, which deals 32 damage, and a Tower Attack, which deals 12 damage with two Snifits, 17-18 with three, 21-24 with four, 24-30 with five, and 26-36 with six. They can call reinforcements if the amount of enemies in the battle dwindles.

AboardThe Princess Peach, a few origami Snifits are soaked in ink. These have no functional differences from the regular Snifits, but they have different sound effects. APaper Macho Snifit Outlaw also appears as part of theBig Sho' Theater, which Mario must defeat in a Western-style duel.

Yoshi's Woolly World /Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World[edit]

A Snifit inYoshi's Woolly World

Snifits return inYoshi's Woolly World shooting hexagonal nuts atYoshi. They can be defeated in the same way as previous games. They appear inFeel Fuzzy, Get Clingy andKing Bowser's Castle. The derived species ofIce Snifits also appears earlier on snow/ice levels. The boss of World 5 is a large Snifit, namedSnifberg the Unfeeling. If a normal Snifit is eaten by Yoshi, it will turn into an orange yarn ball.

Illumination film series[edit]

The Super Mario Bros. Movie[edit]

—Snifit,The Super Mario Bros. Movie

Several Snifits appear inIllumination'sThe Super Mario Bros. Movie, with one notable Snifit shown to have captured Luigi alongside two Shy Guys, in theDark Lands and later on bringing him toBowser. Unlike the Shy Guys, which are still voiced byNate Bihldorff via archival recordings, this notable Snifit is given a speaking role, though its voice actor is unknown. More are seen infrequently, such as during Bowser's wedding toPrincess Peach and before Bowser addresses his army about his plans.

Gray Snifit[edit]

"Gray Snifit"^[47]:89 or "Snifit (Gray)"^[48] refers to a specific type of Snifit that hops in place inSuper Mario Bros. 2. Due to the palette limitations of the original software, Gray Snifits appear green in some levels and they are referred to as such in some related paratext.
