The {{Nihongo|'''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 2|Sneaky Spirits]]. | |||
The | The Sneaky Spirits appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' as a trophy and as enemies in Smash Run mode. They behave the same way that they do in their original games, popping in and out of the ground in rhythm and then moving back after a certain amout of beats. They yield power-ups that enhance all the player's stats when defeated. | ||

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. | The spirits are all-white in color. They have large teeth and exceptionally long tongues.

Interestingly, although their tongues are red in their artwork, it appears with a brighter version of the background color during the game. Their tongues are also always blue in ''[[Super Smash Bros.|Super Smash Bros.]]'', 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 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</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.)), ~ Rhythm Item description for [[Sneaky Spirits]], ''Rhythm Tengoku: The Best Plus''</ref>, is magical, as it's 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..." (It's 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...), ~ Rhythm Item description for [[Sneaky Spirits|Esprits espiègles]], ''Rhythm Paradise Megamix''</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." ~ Rhythm Item description for [[Sneaky Spirits]], ''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!" ~ Rhythm Item description for [[Sneaky Spirits 2]], ''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. In [[Barbershop Remix]], they now 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 it's nose. | |||

==Trivia== | |||
*The sounds the Sneaky Spirits make when moving along the wall is a slowed down version of the sounds the [[Penguins]] make in [[Showtime]]. | |||
*The Sneaky Spirits made a cameo during Ashley’s Halloween preview for ''WarioWare Gold''. | |||
*The information given in the [[Rhythm Item]]s is generally consistent across languages, but some alter certain details. For example, the Italian version has the speaker unsure if the bow's string was made from a dragon's whisker or a groundhog<ref>"Questo arco appartiene alla nostra famiglia da generazioni. Il legno proviene da un albero sacro e la corda è fatta con il baffo di un drago... o forse era una marmotta, non ricordo." (This bow has been in our family for generations. The wood comes from a sacred tree and the rope is made with a dragon's whisker... or maybe it was a groundhog, I don't remember.), ~ Rhythm Item description for [[Sneaky Spirits 2|Fantasmi dispettosi 2]], ''Rhythm Paradise Megamix''</ref> and the Spanish version has the speaker acknowledge how crazy the tale sounds, but assures it's simply how they heard it.<ref>"Este arco ha estado en manos de mi familia durante generaciones. La madera es de un árbol sagrado y la cuerda, de pelo de dragón... (No me mires así, ¡eso es lo que me dijeron!)" (This bow has been in my family's hands for generations. The wood is from a sacred tree and the string, from a dragon's hair... (Don't look at me like that, that's what they told me!)), ~ Rhythm Item description for [[Sneaky Spirits 2|Fantasmas burlones 2]], ''Rhythm Paradise Megamix''</ref> | |||
