History[edit]

Paper Mario: Sticker Star[edit]

Snifit or Whiffit as it appears inPaper Mario: Sticker Star.

The show makes its first appearance inPaper Mario: Sticker Star, where it is accessed in World 3-10,Stump Glade. AfterMario drops into a large, hollow stump, he finds himself in a darkened room. Suddenly, a spotlight appears, and the stage lights up, revealing a cheering crowd ofSnifits. As it turns out, Mario andKersti are on the set of a game show calledSnifit or Whiffit. A host with the name Snifit appears and introduces himself and Mario to the viewers, then reveals the grand prize for clearing all of the show's challenges: an escapedWiggler Segment. Mario is then given the choice of participating on the show or dropping out.

If Mario chooses to be a contestant on the show, he must clear three challenges to win. The first challenge is a basic true/false quiz, the second challenge is a Whack-a-Mole game, and the third challenge is a block shuffle game. After all three challenges are completed, Mario will receive the Wiggler Segment as his prize, the show will end, and Mario is taken backstage, where he can collect theComet Piece to complete the level.

Backstage, theSnifit or Whiffit host talks to Mario in private, telling him he did a great job on the show and that they have prepared a special challenge for him, which also has a prize. Once again, Mario has the choice of accepting the challenge or bailing out. If he accepts, he will be taken to another stage, where the final challenge is played, which is a combination of the first two challenges. If this challenge is completed, Mario is taken to his prize: theRadiator (if the bonus round is cleared and the Radiator has already been collected, the reward will becoins instead).

If Mario completes the challenges while a Wiggler Segment watches in the audience, it will inspire a newWiggler's Diary entry.

TheSnifit or Whiffit host and several Snifits also appear during the end parade.

Challenges[edit]

Pick-and-Choose Panic[edit]

The first challenge in the show is a true/false quiz. The host will give Mario a statement, which he must identify as true or false by hitting a✔ block for true and an✘ block for false. Mario must answer three questions correctly to advance to the next challenge. The challenge is held in a room pumping poisonous gas, causing Mario'sHP to drain every few seconds.

The questions asked are chosen at complete random, though there is a set number of possible questions. The answers to some of the questions also vary, as they have a true and false wording.

Big Bonking Snifit Bash[edit]

Known as "Snifit Bash Up" in the British English version, the second challenge of the show is similar to that of a real life Whack-a-Mole game. Mario must hammer 20 "unpaid Snifit interns" ("young Snifits on work experience" in the British English version), which pop out of four holes in the floor. Occasionally, hearts will briefly pop out of the holes which restore 5 HP if hammered. This challenge is also held in a room pumping poison gas.

Unrelentingly Exciting Shuffle Game[edit]

The final challenge is a block shuffle game similar to that of ashell game. The game starts out with three blocks, which are identical. However, only one contains a "✔"; the others have not only an "X" but a Snifit inside. Mario must hit the correct block three times to win. Hitting one of the Snifit blocks triggers a battle with a Snifit, in which the room also fills with poison gas during the battle. After each battle, the blocks that once contained Snifits remain empty until the round is over. Selecting the correct block also gives Mario a heart to recover 5 HP. The speed at which the blocks shuffle also changes with each round, and in the final round, a fourth block is added. During the challenge, Mario always faces the direction of the correct block.

Big-Bonking-Panic-Pick-And-Choose Snifit Bash[edit]

The show's bonus challenge is a combination of the first and second challenges. The room is again filled with poisonous gas. Mario is given a true or false statement (the sentences are unchanged from the first challenge), but he must hammer five Snifits before he can answer. Additionally, the question only remains on-screen while Mario is still bashing the Snifits, and will disappear as soon as he is able to answer. As with the first challenge, answering three questions correctly results in victory, allowing Mario to collect the bonus prize, which is the Radiator.
