'''Snailicorns'''<ref>Loe, Casey. ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide. Page 12.</ref> are large snail-like enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Every Snailicorn has two small green feet and a horn on its head, and their name is a portmanteau of "snail" and "unicorn." Snailicorns 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]]. A Snailicorn walks straightforward on the [[platform]] it is on and turns around to avoid edges if necessary, similarly to red [[Koopa Troopa]]s. If a Snailicorn sees [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]], it charge in a straight line and tries to attack with its horn. Though Snailicorns cannot be defeated from being [[jump]]ed on or from a [[fireball]], jumping on a Snailicorn's shell pushes it backward, possibly into gaps within platforms or [[pit|bottomless pits]], and [[Ground Pound]]ing a Snailicorn pushes it even farther back. Snailcorns can be defeated from either [[Shell Mario]]'s [[Shell Dash]] move, a [[Mega Mushroom]], or a [[Super Star|Starman]].


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]].

'''Snailicorns'''<ref>Loe, Casey. ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Official Nintendo Player's Guide. Page 12.</ref> are large snail-like creatures that sport a single horn on their heads, as indicated by the species name (a portmanteau of ''snail'' and ''unicorn''), as well as feet.

==Additional names==
They appear only in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and are never seen outside of ice stages. Snailicorns are resistant enemies, as [[jump]]s are not enough to defeat them, and [[fireball]]s are ineffective. However, as jumping on them pushes them back, this tactic can be used to send them off of cliffs, though they will reappear if [[Mario]] leaves the area and comes back. Also, a full-speed [[Shell Mario]] or a stray [[shell]] will knock them out.
===Internal names===
 
{{internal names
Snailicorns always charge in a straight line, but change direction at edges. They only appear in [[World 5-3  (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-3]] and [[World 5-B (New Super Mario Bros.)|World 5-B]].
