Snailicorns appear only in [[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 with its horn facing them. 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]].

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.

-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.
