Larry is rather similar to his siblings, sharing the regular yellow and tan skin and green head color. He is set apart by his blue hair (which has been inconsistently alternating between dark and light blue in earlier artwork, until it stuck to light blue from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' onward), that are usually combed to resemble a cockscomb,<ref name="comb"/> whose appearance remained relatively consistent over time. Another more recent distinguishing and noticeable trait is the blue star on the side of his head, which is similar to [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]]'s star and the stripes on the side of [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]]'s head; this star was not added until ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. With early official information depicting him as much shorter than Mario<ref>[http://pressthebuttons.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452033569e201b8d0b43f5b970c 1993 Nintendo Character Guide Comparison Chart.] ''Press The Buttons''. Retrieved October 14, 2015.</ref>, Larry is still shorter than Mario in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', but varies in height between games, with his shortest modern appearance being in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and his tallest being in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', and is overall slightly shorter than Ludwig. Larry has two, fang-like teeth in the upper corners of both sides of his snout, similar to Roy (though, originally, he had four protruding teeth), along with a complete set of teeth as shown in the battle against him and Ludwig in ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'', when he flails his wand against Paper Mario and when he's falling after being hit by his own bomb<ref name="PJLarryLudwig1stbattle" />. His mouth is feline-shaped, as his lips are deeply curved, and his nose is flat; it is relatively the same as Roy's aside from the jawline. He also has a plated belly and padded feet.

He has large, oval eyes that are light blue, like [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]]; however, his in-game sprites in ''Super Mario World'' depict them as green due to the SNES's color palette limitations. For the same reason, his hair is depicted as white in his ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'' sprites. Artwork for ''Super Mario World'' revealed that he has green eyelids as well<ref>[[Media:SMWLarryfight.png|Artwork of the fight with Larry in ''Super Mario World]], ''Nintendo Power Super Mario World Guide''. Page 20</ref>, that reappear in ''Super Mario Chie Asobi Ehon ④ Larry No Itazura'' (''Super Mario Wisdom Games Picture Book ④ Larry's Mischief'') and, more recently, ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'',<ref>Boss Fight Database (September 28, 2016).

His head is oval-shaped as well. He is on the small side when compared to the others. His shell is also light blue, lined with a white encasing, and the multiple, short spikes are circled with blue rings; originally, his shell was green, as seen in both his artwork and his sprites for ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'', which was changed to light blue in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. He wears the same metal, spiked cuffs as the other Koopalings.

Larry's appearance in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series is unaltered when compared to most of the ''Super Mario'' characters, including Bowser. However, ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' gives Larry a slightly darker and subdued color scheme, while his hair, spikes, and shell feature simple detailing, though his scales remain undefined. This trait is shared with Bowser Jr. and the other Koopalings.
