Every Snailicorn has two small green feet and a horn on its head. Snailicorns appear only in [[World 5-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-3]] and [[World 5-B (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-B]]. A Snailicorn walks straightforward on the [[platform]] it is on and turns around to avoid edges if necessary, similarly to red [[Koopa Troopa]]s. If a Snailicorn sees [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], it charges in a straight line with its horn facing him. [[Jump]]ing on a Snailicorn's shell pushes it backward, possibly into gaps within platforms or [[pit|bottomless pits]], and [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ing a Snailicorn pushes it even farther back. Snailcorns can be defeated from either [[Shell Mario]]'s [[Shell Dash]] move, a [[Mega Mushroom]], or a [[Super Star|Starman]]. | | [[File:NSMB Snailicorn.png|frame|left]] |
| | '''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, [[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"). |

| 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>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:New Super Mario Bros.#Internal Names|New Super Mario Bros. § Internal Names]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en-us|accessdate=June 3, 2024}}</ref> This explains why the two species act in a similar manner. Given that it has one horn and appears only in ice [[level]]s, it may have specifically been modeled after the [[Chill Bully]].
| | Snailicorns walk from side to side on the platform they are found on and turn 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. While they cannot be defeated with [[jump]]s or [[fireballs]], jumping on them pushes them back, and can be used to push them into gaps within platforms or bottomless pits. Snailcorns can be defeated with a [[shell]], a [[Mega Mushroom]] or a [[Super Star]]. |
