The Snifit Bot, also know as Arnharcus by some people because of a rumor spread online, is one of the cosmic bosses in Super Mario Galaxy. Why it has been called The Snifit Bot is because it looks a lot like a huge mechanical Snifit.

Other Names

 * Arnharcus
 * Triclops Spider
 * Three Legged Robot
 * Robot Boss
 * Tri-Bot

Outlook
The Snifit Bot looks incredibly large, and is found when Mario is flying from a Cosmic Bullet Bill filled planet to a more technology-based planet, slightly bigger than some others in order to fit The Snifit Bot upon it. It is called the Tech Planet.

The Snifit Bot has three long legs, as seen in the picture, with tons of tricks and traps that Mario must evade while defeating it, along with a Snifit-like face and fly-like eyes with huge lights beaming out of them.

Attacks
The Snifit Bot shoots Bullet Bills from its underbelly, which consists of various cannons. It will also often shoot Cosmic Bullet Bills which are heat-seaking Bullet Bills with red eyes. The Snifit Bot fires them at Mario while he attempts climbing up its legs.

Another thing it tries to do is stomp on Mario with its massive feet, while Mario is running around on the Tech Planet.

Introduction
The Snifit Bot's intro as a boss is quite surprising. As Mario is on a small planet, the Mix Planet, collecting coins, he shoots out with a Boost Star to the next planet, and instantly when he arrives, an alarm alert beeper goes off and The Snifit Bot makes three huge stomps, coming up toward Mario and stomping its feet, which means the other bosses in this game may not be as they were in Super Mario Sunshine, for Mario may not be warned to get ready before the boss begins. He may just not know when a boss might turn up and might not be ready to fight one, and may have nothing to do about it.

Strategy
To beat the Snifit Bot, Mario must run toward its feet and wait until they stomp down, then jump on them and climb up his tricky-to-survive-on leg, getting to the top where Cosmic Bullet Bills are ready to chase him.

The Snifit Bot's leg is walkable on as the planets are, and has a couple of obstacles to get past. One part of it is a quentuple-gear obstacle with a row of rotating gears that Mario can fall off of. Another obstacle is a triple cannon that shoots Bullet Bills out of it. There are three coins there, and the Bullet Bills are not heat-seekers.

After climbing up the leg, there is the round head that Mario must attack. Several holes around scattered around this head that Cosmic Bullet Bills will fire out of. There are about six coins to find on the edges of the head. To defeat the Snifit Bot, Mario must have a Cosmic Bullet Bill ram into the cage on top of Arnharcus's head. Once that cage is annhilated, several walls will emerge to protect a red light inside the cage. Mario must then have another Cosmic Bullet Bill ram into the red light, thus obliterating the tremendous Snifit Bot. Mario will then be rewarded with a Star.

Climbing Up Arnharcus
First, Mario must jump up on its foot after the bot stomps down on the ground in an attempt to squish Mario, then he must run up arrows, avoiding sharp hooks, also avoiding three Cosmic Bullet bill cannons at the lump of the chain, then collect two Coins, and finally, run past rotating cogs up to where five round holes will continuously shoot Cosmic Bullet Bills at him.
