**Cat Mario**, actually titled *Syobon Action*, is an independent flash game based off the Super Mario Bros. franchise. The goal is similar, except for it being very difficult and there being no princess to save.

This was the first game played on WatchGirlsPlay, with the first video being filmed on February 1st, 2013 and was later uploaded on March 20th, 2013.

### Part One

The first part was uploaded on March 20th, 2013 and was the first video uploaded onto the channel. It had Amber, Ceccelia, Kelli, and Stacy attempting to complete the first level of the game.

The girls begin the game, Amber immediately dying from walking right into an enemy, remarking on how quickly she died. Kelli tries to hit a block, but it gets higher to the point that she can't reach it, which annoys her.

Stacy jumps over a pipe but an enemy pop out of it and kills her, leaving her speechless and peeved. Kelli has hit the other blocks, but they mostly do nothing, until she hits a block that has an enemy inside of it which kills her, which frustrates her.

Amber manages to get pass the pipes but her jump across a gap is interrupted by a invisible block, making her fall into the abyss. Ceccelia has made the jump, but tries to get on a platform with a enemy on it, who proceeds to land on her and kill her.

Stacy jumps her way through the level but end up jumping into an enemy, while Amber comments that the game's music is going to annoy her the most. Ceccelia sees an enemy pop out of a block but stand there, letting the enemy touch and kill her.

She gets annoyed, saying that it didn't kill her the last time, as she dies again on her next attempt, saying the game is making her mad. Stacy remains calm as she dies yet again, calling the game ridiculous, as Amber tries to go around the invisible block but jumps right into the abyss instead.

Ceccelia dies once more, making her laugh and comment that she's failing at the easiest game and that she keeps dying on the same spot. Kelli appears to have made it to a checkpoint but dies as she tries to jump over a gap, making her very angry.

Amber has also made it to the checkpoint, though she gets stuck in a trap that she can't get out of, which she finds ridiculous. Stacy comments on the amount of lives she has and asks how much longer she has to play the game and that she keeps dying in the same spot.

Amber comments that she feels that the enemies are saying explicit things every time she hits them, while Kelli gets stuck in a trap and no option but to die, angering her further. Ceccelia continues to struggle on the first portion of the game, saying that it's worse than Call of Duty.

Stacy makes it past the checkpoint, but does not touch the flag fearing that she'd die if she touches it. Meanwhile, Kelli tries to avoid the trap but jumping over it, which she manages to do but falls right into the gap, Kelli getting frustrated.

Amber continuously dies at a certain area past the checkpoint, making her angry though she tries to hold the frustration in. Kelli gets stuck in the trap, knowing she can't get out of it, so she repeatedly jumps at a spot before falling into the gap.

Ceccelia has made it past the checkpoint, but falls for the trap and sees that she can't get out of it, saying that it is not fair. Stacy makes it to the checkpoint and tries to get to the flag, but she fails, dying in the process, which she says the game is rigged.

Kelli gets to a part of the level where enemies just fall from the sky and kills her, calling it annoying. Amber has begun to get hysterical, vowing to finish the level but dies in the process, Amber struggling to hold in her laughter.

Ceccelia falls for the trap again and tries to get out, as Amber dies once more and vows that she's going to kill the game. Stacy once again sees the checkpoint and tries to get to it but fails, while Kelli and Amber make a couple more attempts before giving up.

The other girls presumably gave up as well, as the video ends with a question segment. The girls were unsure of what the name of the game was but do point out that its Asian origins while some of them note that it was similar to Super Mario Bros.

Some of the girls presumed that the goal of the game was to get to the end of the level, while Amber jokes that the goal was to get eaten by the enemies. When asked about what they thought of the game, Amber said it was fun at first until she couldn't finish it and began to hate it.

Ceccelia found the game fun apart from her dying so any times, while Stacy and Kelli found the game irritating and frustrating. The girls knew the character was a cat, but not why the character was a cat, Ceccelia guessing that Asians like cats.

The girls where then asked to rate the game, most of the girls gave it an eight, saying that it was a fun game though it can get frustrating.

### Part Two

Sydney releases a star which kills her, annoying her, while Renae gets a mushroom and tries to kill the enemy but it kills her instead, which she finds ridiculous. Kaylee dies once more and has clearly had enough, while Andrea dies once more after failing to make a jump.

Renae is by a pipe which kills her as she touches it, Renae deciding that she has had enough and says no one should play the game. It is presumed Sydney also gave up. Mariya appears in the outro comforting Renae during one of her attempts.

Mariya dies again to the "thomp" and immediately expresses that she hates the game. She tries to get past the first bit of the level a few more times, getting madder each time. Mars has started and notices the amount of lives, knowing that it's going to be a bad day.

Andrea has made it past the first "thwomp" and is very proud of herself, as she tries to traverse over the lava pit. However, she seems too into her pride and does not notice the spinning flame and jumps straight into it.

Mackenzie has also made it past the first "thomp", commenting that she overshoots everything and asks why the cat has to jump so high, before falling right into the pit. Mars has also made it past the first "thwomp" but also dies too the spinning flame.

Mariya is still at the very beginning, asking how she's meant to get past it, before seemingly getting past it with ease, mocking herself. She steadies herself as she attempts to traverse over the lava pit, though she over shoots the last platform.

Andrea comments that the cat's face is stupid, while Mackenzie has made it to the second "thwomp". She gets past it but goes back due to the spinning flame, however, the "thwomp" drops on her as she goes back. Mackenzie notes that she has to land on the small pillar before moving.

Mariya attempts to stay calm and composed, but it's clear the game is getting to her. Andrea gets to the second "thwomp", though she thinks that she has died when it falls on her. She learns that she hasn't, but it is too late as the spinning flame gets her instead.

Mackenzie gets past the second "thwomp" and the spinning flame, she then hits a switch that makes the flame smaller. She seems upset by this, not knowing that it is a good thing, as she tries to go backward in vain.

Mars encounters a glitch where she finds herself jumping on the spinning flame, she eventually dies and points out the glitch. She tries to encounter the glitch again, but it doesn't work the second time, asking the viewers if they saw the glitch.

Mackenzie remarks on how she wishes she could pull a "Stacy" where she walked through a level in Unfair Mario. Later, Mariya falls into a inescapable trap which frustrates her, she tries to get out of it but dies to a fireball.

Mars also falls for the same trap, she then simply looks at the camera and admits defeat. Andrea makes it past the spinning flame, but dies due to it still being long, which she gets upset by as she hasn't made it very far.

After many attempts, Mackenzie has finally made it to the checkpoint, before jumping into a spike riddled block and dying. She hopes that she had hit the checkpoint and learns that she has, which she is very happy about.

Meanwhile, the other girls are still struggling, Mars and Andrea managing to keep their cool. Mackenzie plans her next move, noticing the enemy down below just falls into the pit. She then thinks it's safe to go to the lower platform, but it breaks just as she lands on it.
