'''Apprentices''' (also known as '''Snifit Cadets''') are blue [[Snifit#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Spookum]]s that train on an obstacle course in hopes of being appointed as [[Booster]]'s fourth bodyguard (known as "Snifits"). They are encountered in an area in Booster Pass which could be opened by hitting a switch in [[Booster Tower]]. If [[Mario]] runs into one, he will battle him. At the end of the obstacle course, Mario can get a few items.

In battle, they were adept at using thunder attacks such as [[Bolt]] and [[Static E!]]. Apprentices are quite weak in battle, and weren't much of a match for Mario. However, if the player is to lose with to an Apprentice, what appears to be a typical [[Game Over]] will ensue, followed by a short cutscene in which the Apprentice happily declares that it will be named the next Snifit. Mario will then be revived just as he was prior to the battle and can visit Snifit 4 in Booster's Tower (though he does not join the original Snifit trio in their escapades). A new Apprentice will also replace the victorious one, and by losing to him, Mario can repeat the process of newfound Snifithood. This can be done again and again until the fifth Apprentice is lost to. This Apprentice wished to become Snifit 8, but there is no room for an eighth bodyguard so he is forced to relocate to [[Grate Guy's Casino]], not to be replaced by another Apprentice.
