They have spinning flowers on their heads that allow them to hover around. They also have yellow cones at the bottoms of their heads. Green leaf-like capes top the first halves of the yellow cones.

In the [[Super Mario 64 DS|Nintendo DS remake]], Spindrifts' heads now have a peach-yellow color, their flowers on their heads are somewhat bigger, they have eyelashes, and their mouths are now darker.

In the latter course, several of them make their home inside an igloo. | |||
