Snick is a sharp purple porcupine with two small beady eyes, a snout reminiscent of a hedgehog, and a red and white pair of sneakers matching his cap. He has white-gloved arms that stay mostly hidden within his spikes.
Snick is a 1990's animal mascot akin to Sonic the Hedgehog, though is described as much less popular. Despite this, he still holds his own expo in the form of the Snick Amateur Game Expo, abbreviated to SAGE, seen in his debut demo, a blatant reference to the Sonic Amateur Game Expo of which the SAGE 2019 Demo was a part of.
Unlike Peppino, Snick finishes levels by touching a sign, spinning it around to reveal a picture of himself before striking a victory pose and making a peace sign with his right hand, a reference to how Sonic would finish the levels in his games.
Snick also has a doppelgänger known as Snick.exe, an obvious reference to the infamous Sonic creepypasta, Sonic.exe. This being looks identical to Snick, though his eyes bleed and his posture is more upright.
Main Abilities
Snick is unlocked as a playable character in the SAGE 2019 Demo when the player finishes Snick's Challenge for the first time. A block will spawn in the Cowboy Task room that, when hit from below, will switch the player's character from Peppino to Snick and vice versa.
When playing as Snick, the player has can fit through small gaps with ease without holding the down button. Snick also can automatically build speed when walking, but pressing the opposite direction while dashing nullifies it. Pressing the dash button stops Snick in place, commencing a peelout for however long the button is held. During a peelout, Snick gains Mach speed without having to move before launching forward when it's done. A peelout cannot be done right next to a wall. Most of his other abilities are near identical to Peppino's.
Unlike Peppino, Snick has his Pizza Points be onion rings instead of pizza toppings, these toppings work similarly to how rings work in the Sonic games. If Snick is damaged with no points, he falls off-screen and the level must be restarted.
Along with his basic move set, Snick has the ability to transform in a variety of ways for different purposes just like Peppino. Only four transformations for Snick existed, as he was never developed further. All of the transformations listed were what the original ones where at the time.
Any enemy will be defeated upon contact, rendering the player invincible. In a Charging state, Stupid Rats and Metal Blocks can be defeated and destroyed respectively.
Moving becomes much heavier and slower, and the player loses the ability to grab in exchange for a double jump. Body Slam is replaced with a Downward Thrust. Touching any slope sends the player down the slope into a Charging state until they hit a wall as the metal breaks off of Snick.
Snick curls himself up and quickly rolls until he hits a wall. He is invincible during this state, defeating any enemies and destroying small breakable blocks on contact.
Pressing in the corresponding direction the player is rolling in will increase their speed. The player can still jump.

Snick's playable aspect wasn't removed from the game up about to the Peppino's X-mas Break build. He could be playable by altering multiple parts of the code to unlock Snick, yet again along with his moveset. It is most likely that he will never become re-playable ever again. [1][2][3]
It is possible to cheat death as Snick if one positions their defeat over a Pepperoni Goblin's kick. Nothing special really happens aside from the fact that white particles continuously surround the player until they die once more or exit the level.
Snick's taunts are all references to various Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog YTPMVs created by iteachvader.
Snick's parachute and goggles are a reference to "Skydiving!".
Snick's go-kart and trophy are a reference to "Win the race".
Snick was made playable in the SAGE 2019 Demo after McPig/Pizza Tower Guy held a vote as to whether to include him or The Noise as the demo's second playable character.
Due to the fact that Snick's victory pose stops him completely, it is possible to do it midair by touching the top of his ending sign.
Snick guest-stars in the SAGE 2020 Antonball Deluxe Demo, as its creator is friends with McPig/Pizza Tower Guy.
Oddly enough, Snick has 5 taunts in the files. However, his 5th taunt just re-uses his "Hedgehog Stew" Taunt.
A similar reason goes for Peppino as well: if one goes into the data.win file and searches for the taunt sprites, Peppino has 11 taunts, with the 11th being a re-using of his "thumbs-up while grinning and winking" taunt.
