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 pounce enemies from midair to scratch them with their claws. Cat Mario can also scratch enemies from close up on the ground as well as slide into them. When running across ground, Cat Mario clings to the ground and runs at a crouching height. He also has the ability to spin gears to increase the height of certain platforms, similar to Tanooki Mario in Super Mario 3D Land.

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

 * 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 and Peach, "Woo-hoo! Me-ow!"; for Toad, "Yahoo! Mew!"
