Snipers have the ability to cling to any surface, thusly marching up walls and ceilings at a constant speed. They always follow the direction up front and never turn back. This behavior can also be seen in [[Dotty|Dotties]], ladybug enemies also introduced in the Forest world. However, unlike Dotties, Snipers can hurt [[Mario]] upon contact. Likewise, they cannot be defeated.
Snipers have the ability to cling to any surface, thusly marching up walls and ceilings at a constant speed. They always follow the direction up front and never turn back. This behavior can also be seen in [[Faiachū]], [[Fireball (Donkey Kong)|Fireball]] enemies introduced in the [[Big-City|previous world]], as well as [[Dotty|Dotties]], ladybug enemies introduced in the same level as Snipers. However, unlike Dotties, Snipers can hurt [[Mario]] upon contact. Likewise, they cannot be defeated. In [[Stage 4-6]] of the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong)|Jungle]], there are fast-moving Snipers.
