The soles of the feet are a darker color and are made of a strange, rubber material that doesn't match the rest of the plush (very few use a material that matches the rest of the plush though). The spikes on the shell are stuffed a lot more and are usually pointing in a different direction from one another. The embroidery on the eye and nostrils is much cheaper and the bib is a soft, paper-like fabric with the mouth being printed on instead of embroidered (though some later releases have an embroidered mouth).

This resulted in all Mario themed characters being removed and replaced by generic custom plushes with the same name. It has two black embroiled eyes with white pupils in them, two orange eyebrows, two black nostrils, and a spiky orange ponytail.
