Games[ ]
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror [ ]
Snooters make their first appearance in the stage Rainbow Route. Snooters walk around calmly unless Kirby hits them with a weak attack. When this happens, they will become angry, turn red, and start running around really fast for a while. Snooters also eat nearby food items or batteries. If Kirby gets too close to them, the Snooter will chew on him and then spit him out. When Kirby is spat out, he is not able to move unless he hits the ground or a wall, causing him to take damage. This makes Snooter a tad more dangerous when on narrow ledges as Kirby can fall in the abyss. If a Snooter has a Kirby and another Kirby defeats that Snooter with the Kirby inside, that Kirby will be freed and not sustain any damage.
Kirby: Squeak Squad [ ]
Snooter reappears in this game, and is unchanged from its appearance in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror.
