Snifit

A Snifit resembles a Shy Guy with a black mask. The mask has an extended nozzle that can fire bullets, projectiles or other objects. They first appear in Super Mario Bros. 2. Snifits are rarer than Shy Guys, and usually come in three colors: red, gray, and pink. However, in Worlds 2 and 6 (the desert worlds), the gray Snifits are green. Strangely, there is only one red Snifit in the entire game. In the Super Mario All-Stars version of the game, the pink ones are blue. In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, all Snifits are garbed in pink. Snifits are meant to be the cronies of Bowser. Most Snifit wear black though. They could actually be Shy Guys wearing a nozzled mask.

In Mario Party 2, Snifits patrol Space Land and are members of the Snifit Police force.

The garbage men in the Super Mario Bros. (movie) are probably meant to be Snifits. Snifits have some association with Princess Daisy, as they assist her in Mario Party 3. It is possible that they are Daisy's answer to Princess Peach's Toads.

In a demo of Super Mario Galaxy, Mario battles a large mechanical being, which vaguely resembles a Snifit

Currenly no snifits are considered a specic character.
