Interestingly, although their tongues are red in their artwork and when the player misses them in their minigames, it appears with a brighter version of the background color during the game. Their tongues are also always blue in ''[[ssbwiki:Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', likely because that is the color they take in the original [[Sneaky Spirits 2|Sneaky Spirits]] and it can be seen as their most iconic appearance.

The Sneaky Spirits are well-known for causing mischief, sneaking from wall to wall while trying to escape their haunted house. They are described as being "kinda mean" and "jerks", but they "aren't evil, exactly".

The ghosts make an appearance in [[Freeze Frame]], where they can sometimes be seen zooming along with the cars in the photos. They also appear in the crowd of [[Big Rock Finish]] alongside other kinds of ghosts. In [[Barbershop Remix]], they have hair, and are trying to escape the barbershop. If the player didn't miss any, one can be seen in the second [[Flipper-Flop 2]] section in the seat behind [[Captain Tuck]], complete with an arrow up its nose.

Sneaky Spirits appear as a common enemy in [[ssbwiki:Smash Run|Smash Run]] in ''[[ssbwiki:Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''. They move just like they did in the original game, by popping up and down in the ground, moving towards the player slowly, then jumping back to do it again. The popping can damage a player. Since they hide often and move quickly, hitting them can be difficult. However, they are weak otherwise, and managing to hit them enough sends them flying off, dropping a rare star boost, which ups all the stats of the player's character. They also appear as a trophy in the "Other" category.
