Snortoises[1] are finned turtle enemies in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. When on land, they crawl forward, though if encountered underwater, they will swim horizontally instead, changing direction if they hit a wall. Like Koopa Troopas, they hide in their shells when jumped on, which can be carried and thrown or kicked.
Their English name is a portmanteau of "snorkel" or "snort" (in reference to their pig-like snout) and "tortoise", while their Japanese name alludes to softshell turtles. Snortoise's overall design is evocative of the pig-nosed turtle, a species named スッポンモドキ (suppon modoki, "false softshell turtle") in Japanese. Their internal file designation suggests they were originally going to more closely resemble sea turtles. This differs from Shellcreepers and the more evolved Koopa Troopas, who are more based on tortoises, which are terrestrial and cannot swim.
