Talk:Snifit (Super Mario 64)

So, um, according to TMK, these guys' Japanese names are exactly the same as a normal Snifit's. On top of that, i and u are right next to each other on most English keyboards. They look nearly identical (especially in the remake, which makes almost all enemies look more like their traditional forms), and, floating aside, act identical as well--and the originals could jump and hover for a short time anyway. And this very wiki says that they were "accidentally" referred to as Snifits in one of the MPs anyway....

Considering all that, can we really say that they're intended to be different enemies? I'd suggest a merge but have no idea how. Dazuro 19:55, 19 January 2008 (EST)

Hold on, before we can merge anything, we have to discuss it. I'll start a proposal for you now.Knife (talk) 19:57, 19 January 2008 (EST)

Yes, I'm aware of the discussion procedure, hence why I said "suggest". Sorry if it sounded like I was jumping the gun there. But thanks. Dazuro 20:36, 19 January 2008 (EST)

First of all, they seem like two different species. "Snufits" don't have legs but Snifits do. Also, they are called Snufits in a few copies of the Mario Party game. The same spelling mistake in two games? Sounds more like the "Snifit" part being a mistake. Paper Jorge

But they have the exact same name in the original Japanese games, implying that NoJ designed them as the same creature. Enemies evolve. Koopas used to, y'know, actually be able to hurt Mario. Now they can't. They also used to walk on four legs. A bipedal non-harmful turtle with a rideable shell vs a quadrupedal enemy with a kickable shell? If they weren't confirmed to be the same thing repeatedly, that'd be even more suspicious than Snifits-Snufits. The point is, they originally had the same name, they look and act nearly identically, and their only other name is a simple one-key-space typo away from being the same anyway. And, to emphasize, the people that originally made the game obviously thought they were the same thing, or else they'd have different names--hell, even Fly Guys, Paratroopas, and the like get completely different names, despite being the exact same thing as the normal version and being capable of being turned into that normal version with a single hit. And while 64's don't have legs, don't 64DS's? 64's Lakitu clouds don't have faces either, you know. And its "beach koopas" are dressed differently (and are incapable of hurting Mario). Its Wiggler doesn't turn red. All of these are aspects of the characters that have been intact throughout every other appearance. If it wasn't for a single letter in the Snufit's name, no one in their right mind would even consider it within the realm of possibility that they're a different species considering the evidence.
