Cat mario games series#

There is an enemy in the game which mirrors Cat Mario as an enemy form known as the Cat Goomba, which, like him, is colored yellow and has the ability to pounce at others, which it does after having climbed up a steep (but usually short) area. If Mario collects a Super Bell while in this form, he 'downgrades' to normal Cat Mario, unlike collecting a Super Mushroom while Mario already has a power-up (similar to the Super Leaf and Tanooki Suit/ Statue Leaf). During that state, Mario can turn into Lucky Cat Mario, similar to Tanooki Mario's Statue form in Super Mario 3D Land (though the Lucky Cat form is invincible, rather than invulnerable and ignored, and it gives bonus coins while falling) its appearance is similar to that of a maneki-neko. There is an alternate version of the form that is obtained by grabbing a Lucky Bell, which is the same as normal Cat Mario except that it has a red collar and a bronze bell that looks like the Lucky Bell. When Peach is in her Cat form and uses her Floating Jump, she performs an animation similar to a Scuttle while clawing at the air.

A jingling sound can sometimes be heard when the player jumps. If any character touches the Goal Pole in Cat form in a level that uses the regular level victory music, that character says 'meow' while doing the victory pose. Cat Mario runs at a crouching height, and he also breaks into a sprint significantly sooner than in any other form. He can also claw swipe enemies in front of him (which can spin Cat Wheels, similar to Tanooki Mario tail-whipping Tail Wheels in Super Mario 3D Land), as well as slide into them however, he cannot defeat Bullet Bills or Banzai Bills with this method, which simply causes them to change direction instead. Mario also has the ability to claw dive on enemies from midair to slam into them, similar to a dive attack.

In this form, Mario can briefly climb up or cling to both walls and the Goal Pole.

Rosalina's is black, and resembles a tuxedo cat due to a request from producer Yoshiaki Koizumi, while Bowser uses a Super Bell to become Meowser, the final boss of the game. Mario's suit is yellow with some faint orange stripes in a few places, while Luigi's is green, Peach's is pink, and Toad's is blue, matching their colors (Luigi's suit, however, has a spotted body, darker rounded ears and tail tip, making him resemble either a leopard, a jaguar, or a cheetah).
