Template:Quote2 Apprentices are Snifits that train on an obstacle course in hopes of being appointed as one of Booster's Snifsters, where they appear in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake.

Trivia
- In page 51 of the Player's Guide, there is a screenshot that shows the name "Snifit Cadet" instead of Apprentice, suggesting that the name was changed late in localization. In addition, the blurb refers to the Apprentice as Snifit #4, although he has not been promoted as one of Booster's Snifsters.
