Wonder]]'' that are introduced in the level [[Bulrush Coming Through!]]. They are green snails with a pink shell, and their name comes from "swirl", referring to their spiral shell, and "gastropod", an order of mollusks composed of snails and slugs. 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 [[Beach Koopa]]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. | |||
