Snick automatically gains momentum while walking, slowly increasing in Mach speed the longer he walks.

Snick can bounce higher off of an enemy by holding the jump button when landing on them. Jumping on top of enemies will stun them, disabling any offensive measure they have. Pressing the jump button while on the ground will initiate a jump, with the time the button is held determining how high the jump will go. 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. Snick is unlocked as a playable character in the SAGE 2019 Demo when the player finishes Snick's Challenge for the first time. Snick cannot collect Toppins or Pizza Coins, disallowing him the use of shotguns. If Snick is damaged with no points, he falls off-screen and the level must be restarted. Whenever Snick is damaged, he drops all Pizza Points collected, similarly to how rings work in the Sonic games. Most of his other abilities are near identical to Peppino's. When playing as Snick, the player automatically builds speed when walking, but pressing the opposite direction while dashing nullifies it. This being looks identical to Snick, though his eyes bleed and his posture is more upright.

Snick also has a doppelgänger known as Snick.exe, an obvious reference to the infamous Sonic creepypasta, Sonic.exe. 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. 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. Snick is a 1990's animal mascot akin to Sonic the Hedgehog, though is described as much less popular. He has white-gloved arms that stay mostly hidden within his spikes. 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.
