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

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.|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. | 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.

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 Sneaky Spirits are well-known for causing mischief, sneaking from wall to wall while trying to escape their haunted house.

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. | The ghosts make an appearance in [[Freeze Frame]], where they can sometimes be seen zooming along with the cars in the photos.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''== | |||
Sneaky Spirits appear as a common enemy in [https://www.ssbwiki.com/Smash_Run Smash Run] in ''[[Super Smash Bros.|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 to the right slowly, then jumping to the left 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. | |||

|<div style="font-size:small">Skinny white ghosts that travel with a smirk on their face. They move like they do in [[Rhythm Heaven Series|Rhythm Heaven]], popping up and down in rhythm before trying to run away. If you manage to defeat one, you'll earn a star-shaped stat boost that improves all of your stats. Time your attacks and keep them from escaping.</div> | |||
|<div style="font-size:small">These white apparitions seem to have permanent smirks on their faces. Much like in the Rhythm Paradise series, they'll pop up rhythmically from a hiding place beneath the floor, then run away to a distant location. If you do manage to defeat one, you'll get a reward for your troubles, So pay attention to the rhythm and strike!</div> | |||
