Lucky Cat Mario

Lucky Cat Mario is a form of Mario introduced in Super Mario 3D World. In this form, Mario has identical abilities to Cat Mario, except he can turn into an invincible Golden Statue Mario, akin to Tanooki Mario's Statue Mario form, except he earns coins and defeats enemies on contact. It is activated when Mario uses a ground pound. Lucky Bells, the item required for this power-up, start appearing in World Mushroom, in the level World Mushroom-2 Spiky Mount Beanpole. In this form, Mario looks exactly as Cat Mario except he wears a bell collar.

If Lucky Cat Mario collects a Super Bell while in this form, he "downgrades" to Cat Mario, unlike collecting a Super Mushroom when Mario has a power-up.
