The Snifit Patrol

The Snifit Patrol[1][2], also referred to as Shy Guy Cops[3], is a police force of Snufits in the Space Land board of the Nintendo 64 game Mario Party 2. They chase after speeding Whomps and Thwomps to ensure the safety of the players playing on the board. Players can pay them to set up a "speed trap" when they come across a unit standing by. They also chase certain players around when such players land on Happening Spaces.
