Super Mario 3D world debuted in 2013 for the Wii U, offering players the ability to explore a new world, no longer limited to side-scrolling adventuring. It features classic characters like Luigi and Peach but also introduces fun new power-ups. One of the most well-loved new power-ups is the Cat Suit. Not only does it make your character adorably fluffy, but it also imbues them with some new abilities.

Part 1 of 2:
Getting a Cat Suit
-
1Start the game. Luckily, the Cat Suit powerup is available in the very first level of Super Mario 3D world, so you should encounter it very early on. Turn on the Wii U, and select the Super Mario 3D World icon. You will be brought to a title screen; press the + button to proceed.
-
2Select a character. A brief cutscene will begin, laying out the plot for the game. Once the cutscene has ended, press A on any controllers you want to use (up to 4 players can play at once). Once all controllers are registered, select your character, and hit the A button once everyone is ready.Advertisement
-
3Start the first level. Once you have selected your character, you will be brought to the world map. The world map is set up like a board game, and the first circle will be the first stage of the first world. When you are ready, press the A button to begin.
- You will be transported to world 1-1 Super Bell Hill. After a brief glimpse of the stage, your character will be standing in a green yard, with a small set of stairs and an arrow pointing to the right up ahead.
-
4Follow the arrow. Go up the stairs by moving the character with the toggle stick, and follow the direction the arrow is pointing.
-
5Get a Cat Suit. Right by the arrow, you will see a yellow question block. Stand under it and hit the A button to jump, triggering a Cat Bell to come out. Simply walk over to the Super Bell, and you will be transformed into Cat Suit form!

5Use the Cat Wheel. While in the Cat Suit, characters can also make use of the Cat Wheel. The Cat Wheel is a golden gear with a pawprint in the center. It can be used to unlock hidden stages in a level. Approach it in the Cat Suit and hit the X button repeatedly to twist it.
