Like most of the other Koopalings, Wendy has a yellow and tan skin complexion, but she is unique in that her head is also this color, unlike Bowser and the other Koopalings, whose heads do not match their body scales. As the only female Koopaling, Wendy has obvious physical differences, but in terms of body she appears to be most similar to Larry; the main difference being her thinning, feminine legs, and her overall height, that even early official material showed being taller than Larry's<ref>[http://pressthebuttons.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452033569e201b8d0b43f5b970c 1993 Nintendo Character Guide Comparison Chart.] ''Press The Buttons''.

Her mouth is puffy, round and gives the impression that she is wearing pink lipstick; her cheeks are also very round and baby-faced. | ||
Even though she is the sole female Koopaling, Wendy appears to be relatively bald, even though some of her brothers have full hair. The only time she was depicted with hair was in the Nintendo Club comic "[[Super Mario: Erholung? Nein, danke!]]", where she was a brown-haired stewardess. Kootie Pie was also transformed into a blonde human in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' episode "[[The Beauty of Kootie]]", although her tail remained. Additionally, she has a mole on her right cheek that Wendy does not have in any video game appearance. Recent games have revealed that her eyebrows are brown, and like her eyelashes, extend off her face. Her eyes themselves are large and round with two eyelashes, and her light blue irises are roughly the same as Larry's. | Even though she is the sole female Koopaling, Wendy appears to be relatively bald, even though some of her brothers have full hair.

Rather than wearing the spiked cuffs the male Koopalings have, Wendy has large, golden bracelets on her wrists. She usually wears a long, beaded pearled, red necklace and thick, pink heels (being the first member of the Koopa species to wear any type of shoes), as opposed to the other bare-footed Koopalings. A large pink bow with white polka-dots is also included in her appearance, similar to [[Birdo]]'s bow (aside from the coloration) | Rather than wearing the spiked cuffs the male Koopalings have, Wendy has large, golden bracelets on her wrists.

A large pink bow with white polka-dots is also included in her appearance, similar to [[Birdo]]'s bow (aside from the coloration). Wendy's shell is pink, lined with a white encasing, and the multiple, short spikes are circled with gray rings. In the DIC cartoons, she has three spikes (without rings) on her shell and a small pink bow around her tail. Wendy's in-game sprites in both ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''Super Mario World'' depict her with a red head and shell coloration, a white bow with red polka-dots, red lipstick, iris-less eyes, and no necklace; additionally, ''Super Mario World'' gives her bare feet with rings around them (likely due to the body graphics being shared with Lemmy), depicts her bracelets as red cuffs without spikes, and in several sprites, gives her teeth. Many battle animations in ''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam'' confirm that she indeed has a complete set of teeth, none of which stick out of her mouth<ref>BeardBear (December 2, 2015).

In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Wendy's appearance is unaltered compared to most ''Mario'' characters, including Bowser. In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', however, Wendy receives a slightly darker and subdued color scheme, while her spikes, shell, bow, and shoes receive simple detailing. These traits are only partially shared with Bowser Jr. and the other Koopalings. | In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Wendy's appearance is unaltered compared to most ''Mario'' characters, including Bowser.
