'''Snails''' are enemies from ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'' that are introduced in the level [[Bulrush Coming Through!]]. They are green snails with a pink shell. As snails, they move slowly both on the ground, on the sides of a pipe and on floating blocks, but some are also seen climbing up background walls of [[Semisolid Platform]]s front side. When stomped, they are launched out of their shells, much like [[Beach Koopa]]s, and, after recovering from the dizziness, attempt to get back in it. When Snails are eaten by [[Maw-Maw]]s, their shells are spat out. Similar to Koopa Shells, their shell can then be picked up and used as a weapon or projectile against other enemies.

They are green snails with a pink shell, and their name comes from "swirl", referring to their spiral shell, and "gastropod", a class of mollusks composed of snails and slugs. Their design appears to be based on a snail infected by ''{{wp|Leucochloridium paradoxum}}''. They move slowly on the ground, walls, and blocks, but some are also seen climbing up background walls of [[Semisolid Platform]]s. When stomped, they are launched out of their shells, much like [[Unshelled Koopa Troopa]]s, and, after recovering from the dizziness, attempt to get back in it. When Swirlypods are eaten by [[Maw-Maw]]s, their shells are spat out. Similar to Koopa Shells, their shell can then be picked up and used as a weapon or projectile against other enemies.


They are more prominent in [[Swamp Pipe Crawl]], where they emerge out of [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]] (revealing that they are unaffected by it) and crawl along [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s.
They are more prominent in the level [[Swamp Pipe Crawl]], where the emerging pipes reveal they can withstand the [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]] without repercussion.
 
[[Kodeka Maimai|Large variants]] of Swirlypods also appear in some levels, with the same characteristics as their regular-sized counterparts.


[[Big Snail|Big variants]] also appear in some levels with them with the same characteristics.

*The Snails' bulbous, striped antennae strongly resemble the {{wp|leucochloridium paradoxum|green-banded broodsac}}, a parasitic flatworm that infests the eyestalks of snails.
