Template:Pitenemy A Snifaro is a floating Snifit sarcophagus found in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. The four Mario Bros. of past and present encountered these enemies in the Gritzy Caves, the system of caverns beneath the Gritzy Desert.
In battle, a Snifaro attacks by first opening up its sarcophagus, revealing two Snifits inside, one standing on top of the other. Each Snifit will then fire one bullet at a Mario brother at alternating intervals. If the bottom Snifit fires first, then Mario or Luigi should jump over the first bullet and stay idle under the second bullet. If the top Snifit fires first, Mario or Luigi should stay idle first, then jump. Occasionally, the top Snifit will jump out of the coffin and ride the sarcophagus like a rocket. The Snifaro will fly high in the air and then attempt to crash into a Mario brother. This attack can be dodged by jumping. If a Fire Flower is used against a Snifaro, the sarcophagus will burn up, revealing two Snifits, one of which will run away, leaving the top Snifit (still labeled as "Snifaro" and still wearing his pharaoh headdress) to fight on his own. This exposed Snifit will attack much faster, making its bullets harder to dodge, though its attacks are less complicated in that it loses its sarcophagus-rocketing attack and does not shoot high bullets.
Trivia
- The name "Snifaro" is a portmanteau of "Snifit" and a corruption of "pharaoh," the name applied to Ancient Egyptian rulers who Snifaros seem to be designed after (using the traditional pharaoh mummies' sarcophagus and wearing stereotypical pharaoh headdresses).
- If the player looks closely at the top of the headdress, there is a little golden Koopa head.
