Top row: Mr. I’s appearances in Super Mario 64, Mario Party 2, and Super Paper Mario. In all these games, Mr. I’s iris is round.
Bottom row: In Mario Party 8, Mr. I’s iris has been redesigned to be more oblong. While possibly coincidental, this design strongly resembles Mario’s irises in both shape and colors.
