Snailicorns are enemies which only appear in New Super Mario Bros..

Profile[]

Snailicorns are large snail-like creatures that have the characteristics of a unicorn such as a large horn, hence their name being a portmanteau of "snail" and "unicorn".

In New Super Mario Bros.[]

Snailicorns only appear in World 5-3 and World 5-B.

They are dangerous as a jump-on or ground-pound is not enough to defeat them, and Fireballs are ineffective. They are also quite large in both height and girth and are usually found near cliff edges, and under low ceilings, so there's not much leg room for the plumbers. They are not, however, indefeasible as jumping on them sends them back a few feet, this tactic can be used to send them of a cliff nearby, but they will respawn if Mario leaves the area and comes back, a full-speed Shell Mario or a stray shell will knock them out or the use of a Starman or a Mega Mushroom can defeat them instantly. They will always charge in a straight line, but stop at edges like a Red Koopa Troopa. Jumping on them at the last minute is a quick and easy strategy.
