His head also features a yellow beak and red eyes with a red crest on the external side, although in ''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker'' his eyes are rather blue with a slight hint of purple on the upper half of the irises. The feathers that form the denser part of his plumage have white extremities that, on the front, form a continuous line spanning both wings and the breast. He also wears golden bracelets on his legs, a golden necklace with a [[Power Star]] around his neck, and a turban on his head, with a light-blue gem and a feather based on the [[Cape Feather]] from ''[[Super Mario World]]''.<ref name="Miiverse"/> | ||
