The Space Pirate Sniper, as the name suggests, is a sniper variant of the Space Pirate forces. They only appear in Chapter 8 of Kid Icarus: Uprising. They fire spread-shot fire at enemies at a distance. When they lie down to snipe, the "eye" on the top of their head is used to see, in case vision is blocked from this stance. Consequently, these blue Space Pirates are the easiest to dispatch, taking about one or so shots to defeat.
