'''Snailicorns'''<ref> | '''Snailicorns'''<ref>Loe, Casey. ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide. Page 12.</ref> are large snail-like creatures that appear exclusively in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They appear in only two ice [[level]]s, [[World 5-3 (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-3]] and [[World 5-B (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-B]]. Each Snailicorn has two small green feet and a single horn on its head, 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 and turn around to avoid edges if necessary, similarly to red [[Koopa Troopa]]s. If a Snailicorn sees [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], it will charge in a straight line and attempt to damage them with its horn. While Snailicorns cannot be defeated with [[jump]]s or [[fireball]]s, jumping on their shells pushes them back, and can be used to push them into gaps within platforms or [[pit|bottomless pits]]. [[Ground Pound]]s can push them back farther than a normal jump. Snailcorns can be defeated with a [[shell]], a [[Mega Mushroom]], or a [[Super Star|Starman]]. | |||

==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>TCRF. [[tcrf:New Super Mario Bros.#Internal Names|New Super Mario Bros. § Internal Names]]. ''The Cutting Room Floor''. Retrieved September 9, 2018.</ref> This explains why the two species act in a similar manner. Given that it has one horn and only appears in ice levels, it may have specifically been modeled after [[Chill Bully]]. | |||
