Meowser

is the cat form of Bowser, who becomes Meowser by putting a Super Bell on his spiked collar. Meowser first appears in Super Mario 3D World.
==Profile==
===Physical description===
Meowser resembles his previous form, but with cat features. Meowser has a tiger-like appearance and spiky white and red hair. He gains fluffy orange fur, cat ears, white hands with claws, and a tail. He now has a dark blue shell.
===Powers and abilities===
Meower has all of the abilities of Cat Mario with being agile and able to climb up walls. However, due to his size, Meowser can climb up much faster. He can also break through walls with his massive claws. Meowser retains his ability to spew out fireballs, though his fireballs are also much stronger, and he can spew out two other kinds of fireballs.
Meowser's attacks include:
*Wall Climb: Meowser can climb up walls like Cat Mario.
*Fire Blast: Even in his cat form, Bowser can still breathe fire. However, the color changes from red-yellow to either purple-black or dark blue.
*Fury Swipes: Meowser posses clawed paws to swipe, after breaking at a space in the tower, he will start slashing and will stop giving the player a chance to pass without getting hit.
*Tail Slap: Meowser can use his Tanooki-like tail to slap it at the player.
==In ==
===Super Mario 3D World===
Meowser is the sixteenth and overall final boss fought. Here, Meowser is encountered in The Great Tower of Bowser Land, in which a cutscene shows Bowser appearing with a Super Bell in his hand. Bowser then attaches the power-up to his spiked collar and proceed to battle. Once the player has defeated him with two POW Blocks, Meowser will then explode in fireworks. In the end credits, the player can see Bowser reverted back to his old self trapped in the same glass jar he used to trap the Sprixie Princesses.
===Super Mario Maker 2===
Meowser is a placeable enemy exclusive to the Super Mario 3D World graphic style. Meowser will fight just the way he did in Super Mario 3D World, climbing up walls and spitting fireballs, when given Wings he flies around and spews fireballs. Just like in Super Mario 3D World, Meowser can be defeated with POW Blocks, but can also be defeated by fireballs, scratches from Cat Mario and Koopa shells. Meowser also acts as the final boss in the Adventure Mode.
== Battle ==
The battle against Meowser is similar to the final battle with Bowser in both New Super Mario Bros. Wii, New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario 3D Land. The player doesn't directly fight Meowser but instead has to climb up the tower while avoiding all of Meowser's attacks. Meowser will destroy platforms which forces the player(s) to move out of the way without falling into the pit below. When the Player gets to the mid-way area, Meowser will get on top of a Pow-Block and spew out light purple colored fire balls in a machine-gun-like effect from the left to right side, and will continue to spew out the fireballs until the Player can hit the Pow-Block underneath. After the player hits the Pow-Block at the end of the first phase, Meowser is apparently sent falling to his doom. At the halfway point up the tower, however, Meowser will seen climbing up the towers next to the Player(s) and use a Double Cherry to make clones of himself when stop by a pipe. With two Meowsers, one of them will actually slam through the tower attempting to attack the player while the other one scales the tower as usual. Eventually, more Meowsers will appear and the player(s) must be more careful. Once the player(s) reach the very top, Meowser is seen holding the Sprixie Princesses in a jar and will attack by breathing blue fire at the Players, addintly, four other Mewosers will appear and will spew out fireballs at the Players. The giant POW Block must be hit a total of four times in order to finish off Meowser and his duplicates once and for all.
==Behind the scenes==
===Etymology===
The name "Meowser" is a portmanteau of "Bowser" and "meow," an onomatopoeia of the sounds made by a cat.
== Trivia ==
*Even though the Super Bell just gives Mario (and the others) a cat suit, the Super Bell turns Bowser and enemies into an actual cat-like version of themselves.
*Meowser is one of the two-to-three bosses of Super Mario 3D World to not be fought in Boss Blitz, the other being Bowser and Prince Bully.
**This is likely due to the nature of Meowser's battle, in that he's not fought directly by the Player(s) unlike previous bosses.
*Unlike Mario and co., Meowser and his clones can actually move independently to each other.
*Meowser is the fourth final boss in the Mario series to not be directly fought by the Player(s), the first three being the fights agents Bowser from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, New Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario 3D Land.
