Specknose returns in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' as a much more challenging enemy than ever before. Not only is it unusually strong compared to other enemies, but it also has a powerful projectile bomb attack that it launches from both of its nostrils. It no longer attacks in large swarms, and can now fight alongside other enemies with brute force. In addition, a Specknose can also fake out Pit by sneezing at him. | [[File:Specknose_screenshot.jpg|thumb|Specknose in ''Uprising'']] | ||
Specknose returns in ''Kid Icarus: Uprising'' as a much more challenging enemy than ever before. Not only is it unusually strong compared to other enemies, but it also has a powerful projectile bomb attack that it launches from both of its nostrils; these bombs have an image of a Specknose imprinted on them. It no longer attacks in large swarms, and can now fight alongside other enemies with brute force. In addition, a Specknose can also fake out Pit by sneezing at him. | |||

**According to an interview from the Japanese magazine [[wikipedia:Nintendo Dream|Nintendo Dream]] the enemy Specknose was inspired by the composer of ''Kid Icarus'', [[Hirokazu Tanaka]].

*In the original Japanese version of ''Kid Icarus'', the worst ending had Pit being transformed into a Specknose. This was removed in the English version, and replaced with an extra 'best' ending. | *In the original Japanese version of ''Kid Icarus'', the worst ending had Pit being transformed into a Specknose.
