Cat Mario

Cat Mario is a form of Mario introduced in Super Mario 3D World. In this form, the player can climb up walls for a brief period of time as well as the Goal Pole and lunge towards enemies from midair to scratch them with their claws. When running across ground, Cat Mario will cling to the ground and run at a crouching height.

Mario's suit is yellow, while Luigi's is green, Peach's is pink, and Toad's is blue, which match their colors (Luigi's suit, however, has rounded ears, a spotted body, and dark green ears and tail tip). The form is similar to Tanooki Mario and Flying Squirrel Mario.

Trivia

 * The cat suit is a pun on the word catsuit.
 * Unlike the other characters' cat suits, Mario's suit doesn't match his color clothing.
 * The player that obtains this power-up can be heard saying "Meow Meow!"
 * The player will also let out a cat sound when they complete a stage while in Cat form: for Mario, he'll say, "Woo-hoo! Me-ow!"; for Toad, "Yahoo! Mew!"
