As most of the other Koopalings, Iggy has a yellow and tan skin complexion, as well as a green head, a four-ribbed plated belly and padded feet. Iggy also shows similar teeth to Morton's. Iggy has always been the tallest of the Koopalings, but it is not until ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' that he takes on a lankier appearance, as in the newer games, he seems to be about twice as tall as Mario. Originally, he has a multicolored mohawk similar to Lemmy, but it is now depicted as a plant-like green hair. He has large, oval eyes with blue-ringed irises, although some artwork depicts his eyes as eccentric swirls to indicate that the glasses he wears have very thick lenses, which is a common gag in Japanese media that Iggy shares with [[Professor E. Gadd]], [[Professor Frankly]], [[Fawful]], and [[Francis]].

As well as his distinctive glasses, he wears the same metal, spiked cuffs as the other Koopalings. Originally, the green of his shell matches the coloration of his head, but in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' it is changed to a lime-green hue to match the new look of his hair. In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario World]]'', Iggy's in-game sprites depict him with white hair (orange-yellow in ''SMB3''{{'}}s ''All-Stars'' remake) and a blue shell, most likely to differentiate his sprites from those of Larry (who is also depicted with white hair, but still has a green shell) while simultaneously respecting the technical limitations of the NES and SNES; however, in his official artwork for both games, Iggy is still shown wearing his green shell. Furthermore, in his ''Super Mario World'' boss battle, he uses Larry's hairstyle despite his own style existing in the game's graphics (and coincidentally, being used on Larry's in-game battle sprites); both Koopalings, however, use their correct styles in the cast roll. | As well as his distinctive glasses, he wears the same metal, spiked cuffs as the other Koopalings.
