Snifits are enemies in the Super Mario Bros. series of games.

History

The Snifit was introduced as an enemy in the Japanese game titled Doki Doki Panic. This game never made it to the U.S. in its original form, but was transformed into Super Mario Bros. 2. Most of the enemies in the game were from the Japanese version, which included Bob-ombs, Snifits, Birdo, and Shyguys.

Appearance

A Snifit is basically a shyguy with the ability to fire projectiles. It does this with a small tube in place of the mouth on their masks. Snifits are somewhat rare compared to Shyguys, although they are often found together. While Shyguys come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors, the Snifit is almost always garbed in a grey robe, and is usually found either patrolling corridors or as a stationary guard. There are, however, a few different types of snifits; such as the Laser Snifits, Spiny Snifits, and Ice Snifits that appeared in Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga.
