The '''Snifit Patrol''', also referred to as '''[[Shy Guy]] Cops'''<ref>"''The two police stations play off the Happening Spaces. When you cross a police station, the player may spend 5 Coins to set a speed trap. This sends a Shy Guy Cop after a speeding Block, pushing you even farther along the path.''" Barton, Jeff, Mario De Govia, Tri Pham, and Donato Tica.

Players can pay them to set up a "speed trap" when they come across a unit standing by. They chase after speeding [[Whomp]]s and [[Thwomp]]s to ensure the safety of the players playing on the board when a player lands on a [[Event Space|Happening Space]]; when a speed trap is set, the chase lasts longer. | ||
In ''Mario Party 2'', the Snifit Patrol is actually run by [[Snufit]]s. They are shown without lower bodies in their icons, and additionally lack the black masks [[Snifit]]s usually wear. The naming inconsistency is likely due to both Snifits and [[Snufit]]s having the same Japanese name at the time, resulting in an overlooked translation. This is fixed in ''Mario Party Superstars'', where the Snifit Patrol is run by Snifits.<ref>Nintendo. June 15, 2021.
