In Super Mario 3D World, the power-up that lets Mario climb walls and scratch enemies is the Cat Suit.
Mario obtains the Cat Suit by grabbing a Super Bell. The transformation gives him feline abilities, including a scratch attack, faster movement, a pounce, and the ability to climb vertical walls for a limited time. These skills allow players to reach platforms and routes that ordinary jumps cannot access.
The Cat Suit was introduced in Super Mario 3D World, which was released for Wii U in 2013. Its design supported the game’s emphasis on accessible multiplayer platforming: climbing and pouncing gave players extra ways to recover from mistakes and explore large, open-feeling stages.
The Super Bell is the item, while the Cat Suit is the resulting form, so quizzes may use either phrase when discussing the transformation. The Penguin Suit, Raccoon Suit, and Tanooki Suit belong to other Mario games and provide different movement abilities. The Cat Suit also appears in the Nintendo Switch release, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury.
