Sniffles makes an appearance in this game as a boss for two sections. Firstly, the tutorial, and secondly, as the first boss. For the tutorial, he's simply a test boss, functioning practically the same as a normal opponent. As a boss, however, he differentiates himself from a normal character. For the first phase of his fight, he'll seal himself into a glass and the player must slingshot it enough times to shatter the glass. Once it's destroyed, Sniffles is now vulnerable. Sniffles will now summon tiny machines that will shoot the player with lasers. The player can shoot them before they release their amino. Once he has been defeated, one of the machines will shoot a laser at him, slicing off the front of his body.   
Sniffles appears twice in ''[[Happy Tree Friends: Deadeye Derby]]''. He is first encountered in the tutorial level and is later fought as the first boss.


In his boss fight, Sniffles pilots a machine remiscent of the one in ''[[A Hole Lotta Love]]''. In his first phase, he shields himself in a glass dome, requiring the player to attack it. Once the glass dome is destroyed, Sniffles is left vulnerable and he will occasionally call up a laser device to attack the player. The player has 10 seconds to shoot one of the devices before it fires. Once Sniffles' health is depleated, one of his lasers misfires at him, cutting him in half. After Sniffles' defeat, the map "[[Terror Trails]]" and [[Toothy]] are unlocked.

==== Personality ====
==== Personality ====


Sniffles can be described as a geeky anteater who is remarkably smart. Sniffles is a genius who can create giant machines. However, most of his inventions frequently backfire and usually result in the deaths of himself or others. In addition, he is sometimes shown to be a bit of a mad scientist at times, such as the instance where he is mixing fluids that end up causing his death in the [[Sniffles' Science Smoochie|Sniffles Science Smoochie]]. He usually says "''Ah Ha!''" when he gets an idea for an invention. Additionally, Sniffles tends to be given various occupations that require a good amount of skill and experience, such as a pilot or a physician. However, despite his high IQ, he possesses an odd tendency to observe deaths with a vacant expression and subsequently overcome them.
Sniffles is best described as very intellegent. He enjoys reading, science, and solving math equations. He is sometimes portrayed as a geek, as he dresses up as [[wikipedia:Spock|Spock]] for Halloween in ''[[Remains to be Seen]]'' and seems to idolize [[Splendid]], which is most evident in ''[[Wrath of Con]]''. Over the course of the series, Sniffles has built many inventions. However, they often backfire or malfunction, as they often result in the death of Sniffles and other Happy Tree Friends. Sniffles is also quite prone to making impulsive errors. Naturally, Sniffles loves to eat ants, but he is often unsuccesful at catching them, with the exception of ''[[Blast from the Past]]''. The "Collect Them All" section of the First Blood DVD claims that Sniffles has a few allergies, though none are specified.{{citation needed}} While Sniffles was previously shown as weak in ''[[Spare Me]]'', this is contrasted by ''[[Idol Curosity]]'', where he appears to be rather atheltic. On some occasions, Sniffles is often frustasted by others' stupidity. While Sniffles is normally friendly and helpful, he (along with [[Lumpy]], [[Handy]], and [[Flippy]]) murdered Flaky after she punctured their inflatable raft in ''[[Happy Trails Pt. 2: Jumping the Shark]]''.
 
Even though Sniffles is traditionally capable of constructing advanced technology and has been mostly regarded as a "nerd", his intelligence has been relegated to being comparable towards Lumpy's, usually because he frequently disregards any use of common sense and has rather poor planning skills. One example of this is [[I've Got You Under My Skin]], in which Sniffles puts a timer on his shrinking submarine that determines how long he can stay microscopic. This is clearly a defective feature, since the device was designed to go inside Giggles as long as necessary. What's more, as the timer winds down, he doesn't even heed the attempt to turn it back and give himself more time. Another infamous example occurs during [[Party Animal]], in where, while he is seen fleeing the area after Toothy is killed, it is unknown what he was doing during Cuddles, Nutty, and Mime's deaths, since he was seen later standing idle as if he was looking at the entirety of Flippy's massacre all this time. In the meanwhile of the evil side of Flippy's carnage, he had plenty of time to leave the house. He later uses a barrel filled with water as a hiding spot, almost causing him to drown, instead of simply running out of the house. This predicament forces him to give away his hiding spot by jutting his snout out of his water in order to breathe. Ultimately, the evil side of Flippy kills Sniffles by imprisoning him inside the barrel, stabbing it with many knives, and then rolling it down a hill.
 
Sniffles also has a very apparent craving for ants, obviously because he is an anteater. However, whenever he tries to eat one, they would maim him sadistically. The only successful attempt was in the episode [[Blast from the Past]], in which Sniffles eats a prehistoric ant without suffering any repercussions.  
 
Sniffles appears to be a fan of Star Trek, as in both [[Something Fishy]] and [[Remains to be Seen]]. He has also exhibited fondnesses of [[Splendid]], being a very blatant geeky follower of his heroic duties, as seen in [[Wrath of Con]] and owns numerous merchandising containing the superhero's likeness, such as owning comics books in [[Suck It Up]]. In addition, his Myspace page notes that his idols are Albert Einstein, Spock, William Shatner, and Splendid{{Citation needed}}.

==== Physical information ====
Sniffles is a blue anteater with a long snout and pointy ears. He has one of the more unique and differentiated designs out of the characters, as he lacks the buck-teeth and heart-shaped noses all of the other characters have. His snout has gotten shorter over the duration of the series, as it was initially shown to stop at his waist but was shortened to being nearly smaller than his entire head. The exact location of Sniffles' jaw is inconsistent. In certain episodes, such as [[Spare Me|''Spare Me'']], his set of teeth appears to be placed within his head, as if he had two pairs of jaws. However, other examples, such as [[Tongue In Cheek|''Tongue In Cheek'']], would depict it as his skull extending into his snout.
Sniffles is a baby blue anteater with a long snout and a thin tail. Unlike the other characters, his ears are flat and pointed. He sports a pair of blue glasses tapped at the brige. Sniffles was seen without his glasses only twice; in ''[[A Sight for Sore Eyes]]'', he is shown to have same eyes as the other characters, but in ''[[Tongue Twister Trouble]]'', his eyes only comprised of pupils. Sniffles is occasionally seen with eyebrows, which appear inside his glasses' lens. He also has a pocket protector on his chest, which holds a blue, purple, and red pen. Sniffles is so far the only character whose fingernails have been shown, as seen in ''[[Tongue In Cheek]]''. On the bottom of his feet, Sniffles appear to have light purple soles.


Sniffles also has a pair of glasses with tape keeping them together. Behind them, he appears to have normal pac-man eyes but in ''[[Tongue Twister Trouble]]'', he is shown with beady eyes for a split second. He also wears a pocket protector. The pocket itself is shown to wield a red, purple, and blue pen.
Unlike the other Happy Tree Friends, Sniffles doesn't have a pair of buckteeth or a heart-shaped nose. His truck-like snout is combined with his mouth, as his lips are located on its tip. Its length has gradually shorten over time, as it was intially long enough to almost reach his feet in the first two internet seasons, but as of the television series, became much smaller. Beginning with ''[[Wrath of Con]]'', Sniffles was occasionally drawn with a shorter trunk, and as of the fourth internet season, this seem to have become a permanent feature. Despite being an anteater, Sniffles has teeth. His tongue's length is inconsistent. In ''[[Tongue In Cheek]]'', his tongue chased the mother ant throughout a forest and only stopped when Lumpy was standing on it. Meanwhile, his tongue reached its limit after stretching a few feet in ''[[Tongue Twister Trouble]]''. In a few episodes, Sniffles' ears seem to move in correlation to his mood. <ref>''[[Wrath of Con]]''</ref> <ref>''[[I've Got You Under My Skin]]''</ref>

— Sniffles's starring intro, Season 3 of Happy Tree Friends

Sniffles is a main character in the Happy Tree Friends franchise. He is a blue anteater with a pair of glasses, though he was originally concieved as a squirrel.
