Appearance[]
It adds a tool belt and a hardhat and changes their attire to yellow shirts and their trademark colored overalls. It grants Mario troupe the ability to swing a large hammer to slam the environment and enemies alike.
Other characters have taken on the Builder form, such as Toads, as Builder Toads.
