'''Apprentices''' are [[Snifit]]s in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]] that train on an obstacle course in hopes of being appointed as one of [[Booster]]'s [[Snifster]]s. They are encountered in an area in [[Booster Pass]] which can 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 are adept at using thunder attacks such as [[Bolt (move)|Bolt]] and [[Static Electricity]]. Apprentices are quite weak in battle, and are not much of a match for Mario. However, if the player is to lose 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 Snifster. Mario will then be revived just as he was prior to the battle and can visit Snifster No. 4 in Booster's Tower (though he does not join the original Snifster trio in their escapades). A new Apprentice will also replace the victorious one, and by losing to him, Mario can repeat the process, promoting the new Snifster as well. This can be done again and again until the fifth Apprentice is lost to. This Apprentice wishes to become Snifster No. 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.

Apprentices are Snifits in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake that train on an obstacle course in hopes of being appointed as one of Booster's Snifsters. They are encountered in an area in Booster Pass which can 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 are adept at using thunder attacks such as Bolt and Static Electricity. Apprentices are quite weak in battle, and are not much of a match for Mario. However, if the player is to lose 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 Snifster. Mario will then be revived just as he was prior to the battle and can visit Snifster No. 4 in Booster's Tower (though he does not join the original Snifster trio in their escapades). A new Apprentice will also replace the victorious one, and by losing to him, Mario can repeat the process, promoting the new Snifster as well. This can be done again and again until the fifth Apprentice is lost to. This Apprentice wishes to become Snifster No. 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.
