I believe that we should rename this page Snifit Police because while most of the copies of Mario Party 2 for the N64 called them Snufit Police some called them Snifit Police and more importantly the virtual console version of Mario Party 2 calls them Snifit Police therefore I believe that, that is the official name and that, that should be the name of the page.

Alright let's try this again. In Mario Party 2 these characters apparently have two English names with some copies of Mario Party 2 calling them Snufit Police and some calling them Snifit Police (although I've never actually seen a copy that calls them Snufit Police). But the virtual console version of Mario Party 2 calls them Snifit Police therefore in accordance with this proposal [[http://www.mariowiki.com/Talk:Bowser%27s_Castle_(world)#Revert_the_SMB3_worlds_to_their_.22Land.22_names|1]] they should be called Snifit Police because that is not only the most recent name used but the name for the Virtual Console version.

Looking at the above, it seems this proposal lost the first time, gained enough support the second time around, but then it was dropped due to the Snufit article name and I guess the discussion just sort of petered out. Snifit Police is used in most versions of ''Mario Party 2'' (I should add that, looking through the page history, it was quietly changed as a minor edit in 2006 because "[http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Snufit_Police&diff=56104&oldid=56103 they are snufits]"), so it makes sense that it would be considered the name of the group here. Whether or not Snufits are actually Snifits, I feel, is another topic altogether (just look at Galoomba's para-/winged sub-species using their old yet official "Goomba" names for an example) - and we can figure that out later.

To recap, the first proposal from Snufit Police failed because "[http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Snufit_Police&diff=56104&oldid=56103 they are snufits]", the second proposal was cancelled because of perceived disparity between the Snifit Police and the Snufit species, and the third proposal was cancelled because even though there's more evidence that they are Snifits courtesy of SmokedChili, it eventually came to light that this ''should'' have been [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvdWvQCkknI&t=8m22s Snifit] [https://youtu.be/OwwjChXqP4I?t=435 ''Patrol''] (there ''may'' have been additional confusion because they are seen in buildings clearly marked as ''Police'' stations, and it seems people generally mash the button through the text when they play ''Mario Party'' games with their buddies). Looking around for pre-Virtual Console videos also shows that [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOPtdCOWkQk&t=3m24s the] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25ZtkioJqsE&t=5m27s Snifit] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5uvHyUQP80&t=5m59s Patrol] was fairly common. The article currently states that some copies of the game arbitrarily replace the "Snufit Police" text with either Snifit Police or Snifit Patrol - as noted, Snufit Police was a [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Snufit_Police&diff=179623&oldid=179621 questionable] [http://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Talk:Snufit_Police&diff=1348416&oldid=1348415 change] to begin with, and there's unfortunately less in favor of its oft-cited alternate name now.
