First appearance Super Mario 64 (1996)
Latest appearance Super Mario 3D All-Stars (2020)
Variant of Snifit
Boo Guy
Notable members

Snifits[1] (originally known as Snufits)[2] are enemies in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS; in the latter, they are known as Sniffits.[3] Different sources list them as either an unusual design of the enemies of the same name or ghost-like cousins of them. They resemble their original versions, as they wear white masks with bullet-shooting mouth nozzles, but are noticeably different in that they float around. Super Mario 64 DS gives them a closer resemblance to black-masked Snifits, but their long sleeves and long tails make them resemble Boo Guys. The name "Snufit" is likely a pun on "snuff it," a colloquialism for dying, while "Sniffit" may simply be a typographical error.

History[edit]

Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS[edit]

Snufits are found in the Hazy Maze Cave and Cavern of the Metal Cap in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. A Snufit swells up before firing bullets at Mario, if he is nearby. Mario can use any attack to defeat a Snufit.

Mario Party 2[edit]

These Snifits are members of the Snifit Patrol on Space Land in Mario Party 2, though Mario Party Superstars replaces them with regular Snifits.

Unused appearances[edit]

An unused model for this type of Snifit exists in Mario Party 3, though in the final game, the traditional design appears instead.
