The Cat Mario transformation looks similar to the Kitsune Luigi transformation in terms of color palette and design.

Although Cat Mario can climb up walls, this leaves him wide open to other enemy attacks as he cannot fight while stuck to the wall.

Cat Mario can perform a scratching attack that works in close range, similar to Tanooki Mario's tail whip attack.
