Snifit or Whiffit: Difference between revisions

'''''Snifit or Whiffit''''' (known as '''''Hit It or Snifit''''' in the British English version of ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', and '''''Whifit or Snifit''''' in ''Paper Mario: Color Splash's'' game description in the Nintendo eShop) is a game show which appears in the ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' series. The game first appears in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', replacing the role of the [[64th Trivia Quiz-Off]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]'', the [[65th Super Fun Quirk Quiz]] and [[66th Annual Quirk Quiz]] from ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', and the [["That's My Merlee!" show]] from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. A sequel to the show, called ''Snifit or Whiffit Seabed Edition'', later appears in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. In both cases, the game is hosted by a [[Snifit]] and has a Snifit audience.

The show reappears in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', taking place in [[Cobalt Base]]. At the start of the level, a blue Snifit outside the building will offer to sell Mario a pack of cards for 1,000 coins, which contains all of the cards needed to get through each round. If Mario has already been on the show at least once, the Snifit will sell a ''Complete Set'' for 500 coins and a ''Bonus Set'' for 2,000 coins. While trying to get a blue [[Mini Paint Star]], Mario and [[Huey]] will fall through a trapdoor, leading to a [[pipe]] which leads to a dark area underwater. Once again, the setting lights up, revealing a set for ''Snifit or Whiffit Seabed Edition''.

The show has been changed: there are now seven rounds, and only four are required to win the grand prize, which is the blue Mini Paint Star. If all of the challenges are cleared, Mario will be invited to participate in a bonus round. Questions can now be passed (although they will be marked wrong), and [[Battle Card (Paper Mario: Color Splash)|Battle Card]]s are now used to answer the questions. If Mario is low on paint, the host will offer to refill his paint meter at a price of 100 coins.

Similarly to the previous game, Mario has the option of accepting or declining being a contestant on the show. If he refuses to be a contestant, however, rather than being tossed out of the set, a [[Big Urchin]] will appear and pop Mario's bubble, causing an instant [[Game Over]]. This Big Urchin will also appear if Mario answers a question incorrectly, and will pop his bubble after three questions are answered incorrectly. If Mario advances to the bonus round and answers one question incorrectly, the Big Urchin will appear and pop the bubble, and Mario will not receive credit for clearing the other rounds.

If Mario answers four of the seven questions correctly, he will be able to claim his prize, the blue Mini Paint Star, and will be transported out of the set. If Mario answers all seven questions correctly and the additional three, he will be able to claim another prize, the [[Instant Camera]]. If Mario has the Instant Camera in his inventory and completes the bonus round, the reward will be two [[Pink Snifit]] cards instead.

A key item called the [[Letter from Chest]] appears later in the game, at [[Fortune Island]]. It is a letter written by ''Snifit or Whiffit'', saying that they have taken the camera to use as the prize for their bonus round. Huey suggests they collect the prize before continuing, hinting that is essential for the upcoming battle with [[Wendy]].

The first challenge in the show is a true/false quiz. The host will give Mario a statement, which he must identify as true or false by hitting a ''✔'' block for true and an ''✘'' block for false. Mario must answer three correctly to advance to the next challenge. The challenge is held in a room pumping poisonous gas, causing Mario's [[Heart Point|HP]] to drain every few seconds.

The final challenge is a block shuffle game similar to that of a [[wikipedia:Shell game|shell game]]. The game starts out with three blocks, which are identical. However, only one contains a "✔"; the others have not only an "X" but a Snifit inside. Mario must hit the correct block three times to win. Hitting one of the Snifit blocks triggers a battle with a Snifit, in which the also fills with poison gas during the battle. After each battle, the blocks that once contained Snifits remain empty until the round is over. Selecting the correct block also gives Mario a heart to recover 5 HP. The speed at which the blocks shuffle also changes with each round, and in the final round, a fourth block is added. During the challenge, Mario always faces the direction of the correct block.

The show's secret, optional bonus challenge is a combination of the first and second challenges. The room is again filled with poisonous gas. Mario is given a true or false statement (the sentences are unchanged from the first challenge), but he must hammer five Snifits before he can answer. Additionally, the question only remains on-screen while Mario is still bashing the Snifits, and will disappear as soon as he is able to answer. As with the first challenge, answering three questions correctly results in victory, allowing Mario to collect the bonus prize, which is the Radiator.

#'''Entwined Cards:''' Two cards will split into fourths, intertwine with each other, then reveal themselves as one big card. After two flips, the player must guess which two cards are correct.
