'''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.

—Talking Flower, Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Swirlypods[1][2] are enemies from Super Mario Bros. 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", a class of mollusks composed of snails and slugs. Their design appears to be based on a snail infected by Leucochloridium paradoxum. They move slowly on the ground, walls, and blocks, but some are also seen climbing up background walls of Semisolid Platforms. When stomped, they are launched out of their shells, much like unshelled Koopas, and, after recovering from the dizziness, attempt to get back in it. When Swirlypods are eaten by Maw-Maws, 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 poisonous swamps (revealing that they are unaffected by it) and crawl along pipes.

Hefty Swirlypods also appear in some levels, with the same characteristics as their regular-sized counterparts.
