(Brings to mind when the Wonder Flower article used to mention in the Trivia section that it resembled some kind of hallugenogenic flower. "Strongly" is an exaggeration too, it's just green and white stripes.)

'''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.

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. 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 Koopa Troopas, 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 the emerging pipes reveal they can withstand the poison without repercussion.

Big Swirlypods also appear in some levels with them with the same characteristics.
