The Lucky Bell[1] is an item introduced in Super Mario 3D World, resembling a bronze jingle bell (or possibly konguro'o) with eyes. It transforms Mario and his friends into Lucky Cat Mario. It is considered an upgrade of the Super Bell, as later in the game, it replaces the Super Bell in the remixed courses. It not only gives Mario Cat Mario abilities but the ability for him to turn into Golden Statue Mario, very akin to the Statue Mario form from the Tanooki Suit, except it gives him coins. The Lucky Bell starts appearing in the Bonus World, World Mushroom in the level World Mushroom-2, Spiky Mount Beanpole.
