- His shorts and boots: Color his shorts black and his knee-high boots bright red, which is his classic signature color combination.
- Big expressive eyes: Leave his large eyes white with black outlines and a small highlight, which gives him his famous, friendly anime expression.
- Rocket flying scenes: For flying pages, add orange, yellow, and red flames coming from his feet, and use blues for the sky to show his rocket-powered flight.
