The '''Super Bell''' is a [[List of power-ups|power-up]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. It is a golden striped bell with beady eyes. When it is obtained, [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach]], [[Toad]], [[Bowser]], [[Rosalina]], or [[Toadette]] transforms into their [[Cat Mario|Cat form]], allowing them to [[slide]] into [[List of enemies|enemies]], pounce in midair, and climb up walls and [[Goal Pole]]s.  

In ''Super Mario 3D World'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', Super Bells serve as the game's signature power-up succeeding the [[Super Leaf]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. Grabbing one turns Mario and friends into their Cat forms, letting them scratch or pounce into enemies (with {{button|Y}} or {{button|X}} while grounded or in midair, respectively), slide into enemies (in place of [[roll]]ing), and climb up walls and Goal Poles. They also [[dash]] at crouching height and sprint sooner than in any other form. There is another power-up called the [[Lucky Bell]], which also turns the player into their Cat form but with a red bell collar added to it, and when they [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]], they turn into invincible [[Lucky Cat Mario|Lucky Cat statues]] and earn bonus [[coin]]s while falling.

Two new Bell power-ups debut in ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''. The [[Invincibility Bell]], which can be spawned by using a Cat Mario or Cat Peach [[amiibo]], turns Mario into [[White Cat Mario]], which has the [[Invincible Mario|invincibility]] of the [[White Tanooki Mario|White Tanooki form]] applied to the Cat form instead. Exclusive to the ''Bowser's Fury'' mode is the [[Giga Bell]], which turns Mario into [[Giga Cat Mario]], an enlarged, enhanced Cat form used to fight [[Fury Bowser]]. Super Bells can also be gained in that mode by collecting 100 coins (though they are given randomly), steering [[Plessie]] underneath Fury Bowser,<ref>Smashy (February 12, 2021).

Retrieved March 5, 2021.</ref> Moreover, after Mario has collected all 100 Cat Shines, whenever he grabs any Bell power-up, his cat transformation changes to resemble his Giga Cat form.

Super Bells later return and make their debut in a 2D game in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', appearing as power-ups in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style.

The Super Bell returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' as the [[Special skill (Mario Kart Tour)|special skill]] of Cat Peach, Cat Toad, Cat Rosalina, Cat Mario, and the [[Mii|Cat Mii Racing Suit]]. When used, it rings and strikes the driver's surroundings, similarly to a [[Super Horn]]. Unlike the Super Horn, however, this item rings three times consecutively to cause this effect, with the tradeoff being that other racers will simply spin out, and items will simply be repelled from the player. When Super Bell+ is active, the bell will ring once more and last longer.
