He is an elderly [[Goomba]] with grayish brown puffs of hair and eyebrows and wears thick glasses, as indicated by the swirls in the glass, which is a common motif used in Japanese media (other ''Super Mario'' characters with swirled glasses include [[Toady|Toadies]], [[Professor E. Gadd]], [[Iggy Koopa]], [[Fawful]] and [[Francis]]). Professor Frankly is one of two known Goombas to have square teeth rather than pointed teeth, the other being [[Goombario]].
