Snip-Snap is a serpentine enemy from Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn. It has a long, yellow body with scissor-like mandibles and a red button eye.

Snip-Snap inhabits tunnels that Kirby or Prince Fluff can travel through with the Snake transformation. Upon passing its burrow, it will pop out and give chase, dragging Kirby or Prince Fluff back to the closest exit to its burrow and damaging them if it catches them. It can only be defeated using the Yarn Whip when it extends out of a tunnel's exit.

In the stage Tube Town, Snip-Snaps play a crucial role in activating moving wires for Kirby or Prince Fluff to use. They must guide the Snip-Snap to an outlet above ground, where it will plug itself in and activate the wires.

In Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, Snip-Snap can be found in Stage 3 of the Sub-Game Slash & Bead, appearing in enemy ambush sections.
