Scorchits[1] (also dubbed Zeus Guys[2]) are a type of Snifit only appearing in Yoshi's Island DS. Scorchits can fire four balls of fire that harm Yoshi, and can melting unbreakable ice that even Baby Bowser cannot reach. Some Scorchits only shoot forwards, while others will swing their stream of fire upwards and downwards. Unlike most other types of Shy Guys in Yoshi's Island DS, Scorchits have a many-framed walking animation similar to their counterpart from Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, but are only seen walks while on platforms only slightly wider than themselves, where they essentially just turn around. When on larger amounts of ground, they stand in place instead. They appear in the Island Museum in the subterranean enemy exhibit.
During the development of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, Snifits with the ability to breathe fire were considered.[3]
