The {{Nihongo|'''Sneaky Spirits'''|しろいおばけ|Shiroi Obake}} are characters in the minigame of the same name, [[Sneaky Spirits]].

==Backstory==
 
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". According to the [[Rhythm Item|Rhythm Items]], the arrow used to shoot them is magical, as it has the ability to pierce a ghost. The archer, however, has to keep retrieving it, seeing as they only have one. The bow itself has been in the archer's family for generations. It's made out of wood from a sacred tree and a left-handed dragon's whisker. The tree was also shaped like a two-headed horse.
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.
==Story==
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". Despite being annoying and making fun of people, they are mentally like children, and so are usually forgiven<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n08/brij/chara/stage02.html キャラクターアルバム ステージ２] (Character Album Stage 2)</ref>.
 
The arrow used to shoot them, which has been passed down for generations<ref>"これは、尾場家（おばけ）に、代々伝わる家宝の矢じゃ。これであれば、おばけの体もすりぬけずに、やっつけることができるのじゃ。ものすごいじゃろ？なんじゃ、ほしいのかえ？あげないぞよ。（村やくばのソンチョーより）" (This is the arrow that's been passed down in the Obake family for generations. With it, you can kill the ghosts without it slipping through. Amazing, isn't it? What, you want it? I won't give it to you. (From the mayor at the village office.)), ~ [[Arrow|矢]] (Arrow), ''[[Rhythm Tengoku: The Best+]]''</ref>, is magical, as its crystal tip<ref>"Sa pointe en cristal magique peut transpercer des fantômes ! Avec elle, ils sont dans de sales draps ! Bon... évidemment, on n'en a pas 10 000... On n'en a qu'une, et on doit la récupérer après chaque tir..." (Its magic crystal tip can pierce ghosts! With it, they are in trouble! Well... obviously, we don't have 10,000... We only have one, and we have to get it back after each shot...), ~ [[Arrow|Flèche spectrale]] (Spectral Arrow), ''[[Rhythm Paradise Megamix]]'' (French)</ref> has the ability to pierce a ghost. The archer, however, has to keep retrieving it, seeing as they only have the one<ref>"This magic arrow can pierce a ghost! Impressive, right? (Of course, we only have the one, so we keep having to fire and retrieve it.)" ~ [[Arrow]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>. The bow itself has been in the archer's family for generations. It's supposedly made of wood from a sacred tree shaped like a two-headed horse and a left-handed dragon's whisker<ref>"This bow has been in our family for generations. It's made of wood from a sacred tree and a dragon's whisker. And the dragon was left-handed! The tree was shaped like a two-headed horse!" ~ [[Bow]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Megamix]]''</ref>.
 
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.

    • The Sneaky Spirits (しろいおばけ?, Shiroi Obake), also known as ghosts, are characters in the Rhythm Game of the same name, Sneaky Spirits.

    The spirits are all-white in color. They have large teeth and exceptionally long tongues. Besides their round shape and short white tails, these are their only defining features.

    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 Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, likely because that is the color they take in the original Sneaky Spirits and it can be seen as their most iconic appearance.

    Story

    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". Despite being annoying and making fun of people, they are mentally like children, and so are usually forgiven[1].

    The arrow used to shoot them, which has been passed down for generations[2], is magical, as its crystal tip[3] has the ability to pierce a ghost. The archer, however, has to keep retrieving it, seeing as they only have the one[4]. The bow itself has been in the archer's family for generations. It's supposedly made of wood from a sacred tree shaped like a two-headed horse and a left-handed dragon's whisker[5].

    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.

    In Super Smash Bros.

    Sneaky Spirits appear as a common enemy in Smash Run in 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.

    Trivia
