'''Giga Cat Mario''' is a gigantic form of [[Mario]] that appears in the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. It is a larger, more powerful form of [[Cat Mario]], and is only accessible when any of the three [[Giga Bell]]s across [[Lake Lapcat]] are awakened and collected. Mario assumes this form to fight [[Fury Bowser]] directly multiple times throughout the campaign; this requires a certain number of [[Cat Shine]]s, the specific number being dependent on how many times Fury Bowser has been defeated in battle. Giga Cat Mario's fur takes on a more radiant golden tint than regular Cat Mario's, with a lion mane and a tuft at the end of his tail resembling those of a ''{{wp|komainu}}''.  

If the player has collected enough Cat Shines to uncorrupt the available Giga Bells, they will awaken and become usable when Fury Bowser begins rampaging. If Mario comes in contact with an active Giga Bell, a cutscene will play showing Cat Mario growing in size and turning into Giga Cat Mario, with the initial power-up form staying as Cat Mario regardless of the form Mario was in when collecting the Giga Bell. The entire map will then reload as a less detailed version of Lake Lapcat with no objects. Fury Bowser then begins attacking as a battle against him starts.  

Giga Cat Mario also appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' as a primary, Advanced-class, Shield-type [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], introduced during the five-day "[[smashwiki:Bowser's Fury|Bowser's Fury]]" spirit event that began on April 9, 2021. When equipped, the fighter's jump height is increased. In his spirit battle, he is represented by a giant [[Mii Brawler]] wearing the Cat Hat and Suit and teamed up with [[Bowser Jr.]]. The battle takes place on the Ω form of [[Find Mii]], and "The Great Tower Showdown 2" from ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' is the music that plays.
