Appearances
Dragon Quest
Snooze is learned by the Hero at Level 7. It costs 2 MP to cast. A snoozing enemy will always sleep for at least one turn, and have a 1/3 chance of waking up each subsequent turn. Like with other spells in the original title, Snooze uses a resistance table based on 16; I.E. 1 in 16 to hit, 2 in 16, and so on. Due to the way the game's calculations are programmed, no enemies are fully immune to Snooze, with its odds of working bottoming out at 1/16.
The enemies Legerdeman, Spitegeist, Hocus chimaera, Knight aberrant, and Dread dragon can use this spell against the player. Enemy Snooze spells will never fail to put the Hero to sleep. While asleep, the Hero has a 50/50 chance of waking up each turn. Due to the way the game's random number generation is programmed, the Hero will never sleep for longer than 6 turns at a time.

Snooze is learned by The Princess of Moonbrooke at Level 2. Magic in II utilizes a resistance table based on 8 instead of 16.

Snooze is a spell that the Hero can cast under his Down special, Command Selection. The spell sends out a wispy projectile that flies directly forward. Enemies hit at a distance will be asleep for less time than those affected at close range. This spell can be used as a K.O. method against foes who are already off-stage, dropping them like stones.
