“Golly! You're that famous Mario guy! If I beat you they'll make me Snifit 4-8! If I'm lucky!”
—Apprentice, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Apprentices (also known as Snifit Cadets) are blue Spookums that are Snifits in training and reside in Booster Pass. They are encountered in an area in Booster Pass which could be opened by hitting a switch in Booster Tower. They are training on an obstacle course, hoping to become Booster's fourth Snifit bodyguard. If Mario runs into one, he will battle him. At the end of the obstacle course, Mario can get a few items.
In battle, they were adept at using thunder attacks such as Bolt and Static E!. Apprentices are quite weak in battle, and were no match for Mario. However, if the player is to lose with to an Apprentice, what appears to be a typical Game Over will ensue, followed by a short cutscene in which the Apprentice happily declares that it will be named the next Snifit. Mario will then be revived just as he was prior to the battle and can visit Snifit 4 in Booster's Tower (though he does not join the original Snifit trio in their escapades). A new Apprentice will also replace the victorious one, and by losing to him Mario can repeat the process of newfound Snifithood until the fifth Apprentice is lost to- This Apprentice wished to become Snifit 8, but was unable to because of the heavy amount of Snifits and relocates to Grate Guy's Casino, not to be replaced by another Apprentice.
