Cat Mario

Cat Mario (Japanese: ネコマリオ Neko Mario) is a form of Mario introduced in Super Mario 3D World. In this form, the player can run up walls and lunge towards enemies to scratch them with their claws. When running across ground, Cat Mario will dash on all fours, thus making him lower to the ground and harder for some enemies to hit. Cat Mario will also climb the Goal Pole up to the top once jumped on.
While Mario can usually enter this form by collecting a Super Bell, he can also do so by collecting a Lucky Bell. The form Mario transforms into via the latter, Lucky Cat Mario, allows Mario to also transform into a Lucky Cat statue and gain temporary invincibility akin to Statue Mario.
As of Bowser's Fury, there is a headcanon that Cat Daisy would be patterned after a calico cat, because the other kittens in Lake Lapcat match the playable characters' Cat forms, and calico fur would fit Daisy's color scheme.
