The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.

The Snifit Bot on Tech Planet.

The Snifit Bot, also know as Arnharcus by some people because of a rumor spread online, is one of the cosmic bosses in Super Mario Galaxy. Why it has been called The Snifit Bot is because it looks a lot like a huge mechanical Snifit.

Other Names

Outlook

The Snifit Bot looks incredibly large, and is found when Mario is flying from a Bullet Bill filled planet to a more technology-based planet, slightly bigger than some others in order to fit The Snifit Bot upon it. By some serious fans that have already started naming things, it is known as the Tech Planet.

The Snifit Bot has three long legs, as seen in the picture, with tons of tricks and traps that Mario must evade while defeating it, along with a Snifit-like face and fly-like eyes with huge lights beaming out of them.

Attacks

The Snifit Bot shoots from its underbelly, which consists of various cannons. It shoots regular bullet bills, and the new homing-missiles, the Galaxy Bullet Bills, at Mario while he attempts climbing up its legs.

Another thing it tries to do is stomp on Mario with its massive feet, while Mario is running aorund on the Tech Planet.

Introduction

The Snifit Bot's intro as a boss is quite surprising. As Mario is on a small grassy planet collecting Coins, he shoots out with a Boost Star to the next planet, and instantly when he arrives, an alarm alert beeper goes off and The Snifit Bot makes three huge stomps, coming up toward Mario and stomping its feet, which means the other bosses in this game may not be as they were in Super Mario Sunshine, for Mario may not be warned to get ready before the boss begins. He may just not know when a boss might turn up and might not be ready to fight one, and may have nothing to do about it.

Strategy

To beat the Snifit Bot, Mario must run toward its feet and wait until they stomp down, then Jump on them and climb up his tricky-to-survive-on leg, getting to the top where Bullet Bills are ready to chase him. Then he must have the Bullet Bills ram into the top bulb of the Snifit Bot, first destroying the catch, then the red light to blow the whole thing up.

Climbing Up Arnharcus

First, Mario must jump up on its foot after the bot stomps down on the ground in an attempt to squish Mario, then he must run up arrows, avoiding sharp hooks, then collect two Coins, and finally, run past rotating cogs up to where five round holes will continuously shoot bullet bills at him.
