[[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.

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.

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. 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).

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.
