In this form, he is a golden [[wikipedia:maneki-neko|maneki-neko]] statue holding a coin. [[Luigi]]'s Lucky Cat form is slightly different; he is raising his left paw instead of his right, unlike everyone else. While similar to [[Tanooki Mario]]'s [[Statue Mario|Statue form]], Mario is [[Invincible Mario|invincible]], rather than merely invulnerable and ignored by enemies; he also earns [[Coin]]s while falling in this form. Mario cannot remain in this form indefinitely; he reverts to Cat Mario either if the player stops the ground pound, or its 12-second time limit expires. Lucky Cat Mario can defeat almost all normally invincible enemies, such as [[Spike Bar]]s, [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]], [[Fuzzler]]s, and [[Rammerhead]]s, and instantly defeat enemies that usually take multiple hits. However, it cannot defeat [[Ka-thunk]]s, [[Big Ant Trooper]]s, or [[Charvaargh]]s.

Template:Form-infobox Lucky Cat Mario[1][2], also known as Maneki-Neko Mario[3] or Golden Statue Mario[2], is a derivative form of Cat Mario in Super Mario 3D World. The user transforms into this when a Ground Pound is performed after grabbing a Lucky Bell.

In this form, he is a golden Maneki-neko statue holding a coin. Luigi's Lucky Cat form is slightly different; he is raising his left paw instead of his right, unlike everyone else. While similar to Tanooki Mario's Statue form, Mario is invincible, rather than merely invulnerable and ignored by enemies; he also earns Coins while falling in this form. Mario cannot remain in this form indefinitely; he reverts to Cat Mario either if the player stops the ground pound, or its 12-second time limit expires. Lucky Cat Mario can defeat almost all normally invincible enemies, such as Spike Bars, Fuzzies, Fuzzlers, and Rammerheads, and instantly defeat enemies that usually take multiple hits. However, it cannot defeat Ka-thunks, Big Ant Troopers, or Charvaarghs.
