'''Snailicorns'''<ref>Loe, Casey. ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Official Nintendo Player's Guide. Page 12.</ref> are large snail-like creatures that appear exclusively in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''. They only appear in two ice levels, being [[World 5-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-3]] and [[World 5-B (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-B]]. They have two small, green feet and a single horn on their heads, as indicated by the species' name (a portmanteau of "snail" and "unicorn"). | |||
Snailicorns walk from side to side on the platform they are found on, turning around to avoid edges if necessary, similarly to [[Red Koopa Troopa]]s. If a Snailicorn sees [[Mario]], it will charge in a straight line and attempt to damage him with its horn. They are resistant enemies, as they cannot be defeated with [[jump]]s or [[fireballs]]. However, as jumping on them pushes them back, this tactic can be used to send them falling into bottomless pits, though they will reappear if Mario leaves the area and returns. Additionally, [[Shell Mario]] running at full speed, or any other moving [[shell]], will defeat a Snailicorn directly on contact. | |||

== | ==Trivia== | ||
*The game's internal filename for Snailicorn is a romanization of the Japanese name for [[Bully]], suggesting that it was originally designed as one before being changed to a horned snail.<ref name=internal/> This explains why the two species act in a similar manner. | |||
