In 'Death Wish', the Snatcher will enforce Hat Kid to face a list of thirty-seven (or thirty-eight with the Nyakuza Metro DLC) 'hard-as-peck' challenges. The mode is unlocked once Hat Kid collects at least twenty-seven Time Pieces and defeated the Snatcher, but most of the mode is restricted until all bosses have been defeated and Act 1 of Arctic Cruise has been completed. In the 'Seal the Deal' DLC, the Snatcher runs his own challenge mode called 'Death Wish'.

Hat Kid pushes them away with her broom and waves goodbye as they plummet back down to their planet. The Snatcher makes a contract with a Goat from Alpine Skyway to throw bombs made by the Snatcher into the arena to assist Hat Kid in diminishing Mustache Girl's magic barrier.Д«efore Hat Kid's departure, her companions hold aside to her spaceship and beckon her not to leave, with the Snatcher offering to make another contract. The Snatcher plays another significant part at the end of the game where he, along with the rest of Hat Kid's companions encountered along her journey, come to her aid during her brawl with Mustache Girl. The Snatcher gives up and decides to give Hat Kid her soul and Time Pieces back, though warning her that should he ever see her again, consequences will follow. However, Hat Kid scribbles on the contract, instead inviting her to stay and have fun in the forest. The Snatcher admits defeat and makes another contract for Hat Kid to sign, this one declaring Hat Kid an exile of Subcon Forest so that she can never come back.

He then engages Hat Kid in a battle to dispose of her little head, but not before snatching her hat and preventing her from using her hat powers.ДЄlthough the Snatcher seems immortal, Hat Kid turned him blue by reflecting one of his attacks, allowing her to touch and defeat him. He forces Hat Kid to sign a contract in exchange for her soul, although he promises to give it back once she fulfills her objectives on the contract.ДЄfter completing the Snatcher's objectives (killing the fire fairies, cleaning the Subcon Well, defeating the possessed Toilet of Doom, obtaining a stolen Time Piece from Queen Vanessa's attic, and delivering the mail to each of the Snatcher's minions), before Had Kid can collect the last Time Piece of the area, the Snatcher arrives and reveals his true intentions: to kill his contractors once they become obsolete to the Snatcher's goal of collecting souls. Instead of killing her, the Snatcher decides to make her his servant, as the old one lost his head. When Hat Kid makes her way through Subcon Forest to find her missing Time Pieces, she was caught in a trap laid out by the Snatcher. Consumed by hatred in her heart, Vanessa imprisoned her prince within her wine cellar as punishment for 'leaving her', where her magic and abuse eventually transformed the man into the Snatcher.ДЄfter escaping the manor, the Snatcher rallied the other people transformed into shadowy monsters and spirits by Vanessa with contracts so they could one day restore the forest that Vanessa destroyed, offering them bodies from dolls. Things came to a head one day whenВ she discovered her prince with another girl (actually a flower girl who was merely selling him a bundle of flowers he was buying for Vanessa), mistaking it for an affair. Over time, Vanessa's obsession with her prince grew uncontrollably unhealthy and jealous when he spent much time away at law school, but nonetheless, he still loved her back and wrote her frequent letters. Vanessa fell in love with the lawyer, viewing and referring to him as her 'prince', and the two lived happily together. According to the Subcon Forest Storybook and journal entries in Queen Vanessa's manor, the Snatcher was once a lawyer who served Queen Vanessa of the kingdom of Subcon Forest.
