'''Snortoises'''<ref name=WonderSekai13>(January 26, 2024). [https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/article/f6d2505a-dd79-410d-b350-b2b2036213f0 マリオたちの行く手を阻む。フラワー王国の個性豊かな敵キャラクターをご紹介。～その1～【ワンダーの世界へ Vol.13】]. ''nintendo.co.jp''. Retrieved January 26, 2024.</ref> are finned turtle enemies in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. When on land, they crawl forward, though if encountered underwater, they will swim horizontally instead, changing direction if they hit a wall. Like [[Koopa Troopa]]s, they hide in their shells when jumped on, which can be carried and thrown or kicked.

Their English name is a portmanteau of "snorkel" or "snort" (in reference to their pig-like snout) and "tortoise", while their Japanese name alludes to {{wp|softshell turtle}}s. Snortoise's overall design is evocative of the {{wp|pig-nosed turtle}}, a species named スッポンモドキ (''suppon modoki'', "false softshell turtle") in Japanese. Their internal file designation suggests they were originally going to more closely resemble sea turtles.
