'''Snifits''' are [[Shy Guy]]s<ref>[https://imgur.com/BAiG7SV?r Page 215] of 「パーフェクト版 マリオキャラクター大事典」 (''Perfect Ban Mario Character Daijiten'', or "''Perfect Edition of the Great Mario Character Encyclopedia''") states of Mūcho: 「{{ruby|口|くち}}から{{ruby|弾|たま}}を{{ruby|放|はな}}ってくるヘイホー(P199)のパワーアップ{{ruby|版|ばん}}。」 (''A power-up version of Heihō that fires bullets from its mouth.'')</ref> with an extended nozzle for a mouth on their mask, which along with the dark coloration causes it to resemble a {{wp|gas mask}}. Through their protrusion, they can fire projectiles - the most common being small, metallic bullets. Though Snifits first originated in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', they became a part of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] when the game released internationally as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Snifits usually wear red robes, but they have also worn pink, gray, green, blue, black, purple, yellow, and orange.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' / ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' / ''Super Mario Advance''====
[[File:SMB2 Snifit.jpg|thumb|A red-robed Snifit from ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''.]]
In ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', Snifits (shown here to be affiliated with the [[8 bits]]) are less common than their Shyguy relatives and come in different colors. There is only one red Snifit, found in [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 3-3]]; this trait is changed in many later appearances, where most Snifits are red. The red Snifit acts similar to a red Shyguy, walking off ledges it comes to but occasionally firing bullets made from nightmares.<ref name=DDP30>「{{ruby|魔夢族|マムーぞく}}の{{ruby|一員|いちいん}}。お{{ruby|面|めん}}をつけていて、{{ruby|口|くち}}から{{ruby|悪夢|あくむ}}の{{ruby|弾|たま}}を{{ruby|撃|う}}ってくる。」 ("''A member of the Mamu Family. They wear masks and spit the bullets of evil dreams from their mouth.''") - ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' instruction booklet. Page 30 (ムーチョ{{ruby|赤|あか}}).</ref><ref name=booklet>"''A member of the “8 bits.” He wears a mask and spits the bullets of evil dreams from his mouth.''" - ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instruction booklet. Page 23 (Snifit - Red description).</ref> Pink Snifits are the most common and act the same as the red ones except that they turn when they reach a ledge. Gray and green Snifits stand in place and occasionally jump while firing.
[[File:Snifit SMB2.png|frame|left]]
The identical behavior of the gray and green Snifits is due to the fact that they are actually the same coded object, with the color variation being due to their palette having different colors assigned to it in different areas to affect other objects. This in turn is due to the NES's technology only allowing four palettes at a time on that graphic layer, with the fourth being the player character's. Another side effect of the NES's graphic technology is the Snifits' hoods appearing to lack part of their outline in the back in one frame and appearing non-pointed in the other, as the mouthpiece takes up extra space in the 16x16 pixel tiles.

In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', the pink Snifits are blue and the green ones are gray, the latter of which is due to the green and gray objects no longer needing to share a palette. Unlike Shyguys in these versions, Snifits all wear tan shoes in-game, though due to the shading on their mouthpieces, this may be intended to be a shaded white, like in the original. They also have a lighter outline on their robes than Shyguys, at the cost of having less shading on them.

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
{{main|Snifit (Super Mario 64)}}
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' or ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', a [[Snifit (Super Mario 64)|ghost-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!''===
{{quote2|I got an idea! Let's use that rock thing for a bridge!|Snifit|</span>"[[Brooklyn Bound]]"<span>}}
[[File:CartoonSnifits.jpg|thumb|left|Several Snifits from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'']] 
[[File:Mario_andJuliet_BlueSnifits.jpg|thumb|Blue Snifits from the episode "Mario and Joliet"]]
Snifits make several appearances in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', where they are most often portrayed as the minions of [[Bowser|King Koopa]] and as shock troops of the [[Koopa Troop|Koopa 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 shoots [[Bullet 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]]"

===''Nintendo Comics System''===
[[File:SMB2 Snifit 1.png|thumb|''Mario Mania'']]
Snifits are featured in several issues of the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]'', where they appeared to be high-ranking minions of Bowser, as they are shown to command and train his Shyguy troops. One particular unnamed Snifit is featured prominently in the ''Nintendo Comics System'' issue "[[Duh Stoopid Bomb!]]" where the Snifit, after accidentally becoming super-intelligent after being caught in the explosion of a [[Smart Bomb]], usurps Bowser of [[Koopa Troop|his armies]]; however, since they are all still under the effect of the Stupid Bombs, he is unable to command them efficiently.

===''Super Mario Adventures''===
In [[Nintendo Power]]'s ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'' comic serial, a Snifit can be seen among the attendees to [[Bowser]]'s forced wedding to [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]].
{{br}}

===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:Snifit SuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|right]]
An army of Snifits appears in volume 8 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. They attack [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Yoshi]], but Mario catches them off guard by dressing as Chef Mario from ''[[Yoshi's Cookie]]'' and then using assets from the game.
{{br}}

===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
[[File:Snifit SMW2.png|frame|left]]
Snifits are uncommon enemies in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', appearing in [[Marching Milde's Fort]], [[The Deep, Underground Maze]], and [[KEEP MOVING!!!!]]. They attack [[Yoshi]] and [[Baby Mario]] by shooting projectiles at them. The projectiles in this game are oval, instead of circular and can go through walls. In this game, Snifits walk around and sometimes change their direction towards Yoshi. Yoshi can defeat a Snifit by jumping on it, eating it, or by simply shooting it with an [[egg]]. In this game, Snifits are noticeably larger than regular Shy-Guys, and all wear salmon-pink robes and dark-purple shoes. An [[List of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island pre-release and unused content|unused]] graphic depicts a body for a red-robed Snifit at 16x16 pixels drawn in a similar manner to [[Toady|Toadies]] in the final; pre-release builds show they originally had [[Kamek's Toadies]]' role and propellers.<ref>Akfamilyhome (July 24, 2020).

{{br|left}}

====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
{{main|Scorchit}}
In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Snifits do not appear, but a species derivative of Snifits called [[Scorchit]]s appear. These enemies blow fires out of their mouths which can melt ice.

====''Yoshi's New Island''====
[[File:SnifitYNI.png|frame]]
Snifits appear in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'' as enemies, now being roughly the same size as regular Shy Guys. They first appear in [[Heads 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''===
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]], Snifits, originally referred to as '''Spookums''', wear blue robes and are only found in [[Booster 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 in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash''.

In battle, a Snifit attacks by hitting a party member with its mouth. It can also attack with [[Hot Shot]] and [[Crystal (move)|Crystal]], or use [[Gunk Ball]] to [[Mute (status effect)|mute]] a [[party member]]. When a Snifit is attacked using [[Terrorize]], it automatically [[flee|runs away]] from battle.

Black-robed Snifits known as [[Snifster]]s also appear, mostly as an organization working for [[Booster]]. Five Snifits aspire to become a member of Booster's Snifsters and individually train in [[Booster Pass]] as an [[Apprentice (Snifit)|Apprentice]]. 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===
====''Mario Party 2''====
No normal Snifits appear in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. However, the [[Space Land]] board contains an organization called the [[Snifit Patrol]], though the only member of it seen is of the ''Super Mario 64'' depiction.

====''Mario Party 3''====
[[File:SnifitMP3.png|thumb|x180px|Artwork of a Snifit in ''Mario Party 3'']]
Snifits appear in ''[[Mario Party 3]]'' as the starting partner of [[Princess 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''====
[[File:MPA Snifit Screenshot.png|thumb|left|The Snifit of Shroom City in ''Mario Party Advance'']]
{{quote2|I'm so excited, I won't be able to sleep!|Snifit|[[Mario Party Advance]]}}
In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', Snifit appears in the [[Shroom City (Mario Party Advance)|Shroom City]] mode. According to his description, he's a fan of being scared. He is found on the second floor of the [[Horror Condo]], and when approached, he asks for the player's and [[Mr. E (Mario Party Advance)|Mr. 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's 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 the [[Porta-Gust]] [[Gaddget]]. The ending credits state that, despite Snifit's initial excitement, he has grown tired of seeing the ghosts.

====''Mario Party Superstars''====
In ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', the Snifit Patrol returns along with the Space Land board, this time run by normal-looking Snifits.
{{br}}

===''Mario Kart'' series===
[[File:MKDD Audience Sprite.png|thumb|left|A Purple Snifit (far left) from ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''.]]
Snifits make a few minor cameos in the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' games]]. In ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', they make a cameo appearance in the [[GBA Sunset Wilds|Sunset Wilds]] course, where their likenesses are carved on two totem poles featuring a [[Toady]] on the bottom, it in the middle, and a [[Shy Guy]] on the top. In the ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' iteration of the course, the totem poles are replaced by more cacti. Their next appearance in the series is ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', where they make another cameo as characters in the audience of [[GCN Waluigi Stadium|Waluigi Stadium]]. However, they were removed from the course in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', due to using the same audience animation from the other courses.
{{br}}

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
In the [[Mario & Luigi (series)|''Mario & Luigi'' series]], Snifit derivatives are common. [[Laser Snifit]]s (actually [[Woohoo Hooniversity]]'s transformed [[Beanish]] professors), [[Spiky Snifit]]s, [[Ice Snifit (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Ice Snifit]]s, and [[Gunner Guy]]s appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]].

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
[[File:Snifaro MLPiT sprite.png|thumb]]
{{main|Snifaro}}
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', a Snifit derivative called [[Snifaro]] appears in [[Gritzy 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 a [[Fire Flower|Bros. 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''====
[[File:Flying Flifit.gif|thumb|left]]
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|its remake]], Snifits only appear during enemy battles with a derivative species of flower-like Snifits called [[Flifit]]s, and Flifits' younger form [[Sneed]]s. When Flifits lose their petals, a [[Flying Snifit]] appears to pour some water on them and heal them.
{{br}}

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
Even though Snifits do not appear physically in ''[[Mario & 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===
[[File:Mini-Snifit.png|frame]]
Snifits<ref>''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis'' object graphics filename (<tt>data/data/anims/snifit_anim.bin</tt>)</ref><ref>''Snifit – Snifit shoots bullets in the direction he's facing, then reloads to do it again. Make sure Mini Mario isn’t in the way!'' - ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!'' help.</ref><ref>''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!'' Help Mode</ref> appear with a toylike design in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]]. Unlike [[Shy Guy]]s, 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 destroy [[Mini]]s upon contact.

In the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (Nintendo Switch)|remake]] of the original ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong]]'' game, the [[Fire Shy Guy]] enemies are redesigned to look like Snifits.
====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''====
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', Snifits appear in [[Jungle 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!''====
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]'', Snifits are first encountered in [[Room 4-4 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!)|Room 4-4]] of [[Jungle 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!''====
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'', Snifits are found in [[Cannon Cove]] and [[Secret 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''===
{{main|Propeller Mūcho}}
Normal Snifits do not appear in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', being replaced by [[Propeller Mūcho]] that are based on [[Fly Guy]]s.

===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
[[File:Snifit or Whiffit.png|thumb|200px|The ''Snifit or Whiffit'' show]]
Snifits make their [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'']] debut in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. Snifits are first present in [[World 3 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 3]], where they are the most common enemy found, an optional foe, and they are under the direct command of [[Bowser]]. 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 in [[Bowser's Snow Fort]] alongside Shy Guys. They can be found in the trash area of [[Shy Guy Jungle]] before the player uses the goat or vacuum Things. Mario may pull one out and battle it.

A game show called ''[[Snifit or Whiffit]]'' is hosted by a Snifit who goes by the said name. Mario must participate in this game in order to obtain a [[Wiggler 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 the [[Radiator]] Thing ([[Coin]]s 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 a [[Tail]] or any other sticker that includes a [[Spike Helmet]], a [[Frog Suit]] or a [[Super Boot]], the Snifits may attempt to push Mario much like the [[Clip Guy]]'s and [[Paint 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 the [[Battle Spin]], a Snifit may also knock away one of Mario's attacks. Snifits are mostly assisted by [[Ninji]]s, [[Clip Guy]]s, [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s, and [[Poison Blooper]]s, but they can also be assisted by [[Scuttlebug]]s and [[Goomba]]s; 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''====
{{quote2|Sniff something? Say something.|[[Snifit Undersand Hideout]] poster|''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''}}
[[File:PMCS Plum Park Snifits.png|thumb|left|Mario talks to two friendly Snifits in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash''.]]
Snifits return in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'' as enemies and NPCs. Like in ''Sticker 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 the [[Shai Guyz]] in [[the Golden Coliseum]]. A red Snifit commands a group of [[Shy Guy 5-Stack]]s in [[Fort Cobalt]], while other Snifits coach Shy Guys in the exercise room. Snifits can also be found at [[Plum 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 the [[Sunset Express]], threatening the red [[Rescue Squad]] members.

In [[Redpepper Volcano]], a blue Snifit advises a [[Fire Bro]] on throwing fireballs. When Mario defeats them all, he is disappointed and plans to train a new squad. An [[Ice 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. In [[Redpepper 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 the [[Mustard Café]]. Outside the café, various Snifits wait in line and order coffee once the restaurant re-opens. When Mario and the [[Mustard Café chef]] fall into the sinkhole, before they can reach the exits, they are grabbed by Snifits and pulled into the [[Snifit 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 the [[Snifit's Card Key]].

''[[Snifit or Whiffit]]'' returns from ''Sticker Star'', this time taking place in [[Cobalt Base]]. [[Host Snifit]] introduces the game once again, while a new [[Informant Snifit]] sells Mario cards he needs to play the game. Two pink Snifits reward Mario with the [[Instant Camera]] if he wins the bonus round. Additionally, a Snifit is the third-round opponent in [[Roshambo Temple#Roshambo Temple #6|Roshambo Temple #6]].

Multiple variants of Snifit are introduced in this game. [[Slurp Snifit]]s are parallels to [[Slurp Guy]]s, appearing in areas such as [[Toad Trainworks]] and Mustard Café. In addition to spitting bullets, they may absorb Mario's paint. [[Spike Snifit]]s wear helmets that protect them from jump attacks, similarly to [[Spike Guy]]s. [[Whistle Snifit]]s can summon enemies during battle. A [[Chariot Snifit]] assists [[Iggy 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.

[[File:PMTOK Snif City.png|thumb|"Snif City" inhabited by Snifits]]
[[File:OrigamiSnifit.jpg|thumb|left|100px|An origami Snifit]]
Snifits reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', where red, blue, green, pink, and yellow Snifits can be found in [[Shroom City (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Shroom City]] as one of the main inhabitants. Prior to defeating [[Hole Punch]], they take over the aforementioned city, renaming it into "Snif City". Several Snifits also appear in [[Toad Town]], where a yellow one temporarily runs a confetti sale, and another temporarily runs the outdoor café. Snifits also run the shops in [[Shangri-Spa]]. On [[Club Island]], Mario can find a Snifit stuck in a tree, who offers to recharge his [[Toad Radar]] for 1,000 coins.

Additionally, origami Snifits appear in the game as enemies. In battle, they can call reinforcements if the amount of enemies in the battle dwindles. A [[Paper Macho Snifit Outlaw]] also appears as part of the [[Big Sho' Theater]], which Mario must defeat in a Western-style duel.
{{br}}

===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
[[File:WoollySnifitHQ.png|thumb|A Snifit in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]
Snifits return in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' shooting hexagonal nuts at [[Yoshi]]. They can be defeated in the same way as previous games. They appear in [[Feel Fuzzy, Get Clingy]] and [[King Bowser's Castle (Yoshi's Woolly World)|King Bowser's Castle]]. The derived species of [[Ice Snifit (Yoshi's Woolly World)|Ice Snifit]]s also appears earlier on snow/ice levels. The boss of World 5 is a large Snifit, named [[Snifberg the Unfeeling]]. If a normal Snifit is eaten by Yoshi, it will turn into an orange yarn ball.

===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===
[[File:Shy Guys lead Luigi to Bowser - TSMBM.png|thumb|left|A Snifit in ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'']]
{{quote|We found [[Luigi|him]] in the [[Dark Land]]s.|Snifit|The Super Mario Bros. Movie}}
Several Snifits appear in [[Illumination]]'s ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', with one notable Snifit shown to have captured Luigi alongside two Shy Guys, in the [[Dark Land]]s and later on bringing him to [[Bowser]]. Unlike the Shy Guys, which are still voiced by [[Nate 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 to [[Princess Peach]] and before Bowser addresses his army about his plans.

==Color variations==
Much like Shy Guys, Snifits come in many different colors. The following is a list of all known Snifits and their first appearances.

-[[File:SnifitsMovie.jpg|thumb|left]]
-Snifits in the 1993 [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]] are depicted as mask-wearing garbage collector workers, and bear some resemblance to the [[Fungus 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 the [[Dinohattan]] city with their [[Sludge Gulper]] trucks.
-When they are out in the [[Desert Land#Super Mario Bros. film|Koopahari Desert]], [[Mario (film character)|Mario]], [[Luigi (film character)|Luigi]], [[Iggy (film character)|Iggy]] and [[Spike (film character)|Spike]] 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 of [[Koopa's Tower]] after their [[Boom Boom Bar]] escape.
