The '''Cat-o-Luck''' is a [[Thing]] in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' and ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. It is based on the {{wp|Maneki-neko}}.

==History==
===''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''===
[[File:CatoluckPMSS.png|thumb|left|The Cat-o-Luck in sticker form]]
In ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', the Cat-o-Luck can be found in the [[Bouquet Gardens]] on a raised section of ground. It remains in Mario's [[Album]] until it is turned into a [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|Sticker]] at a [[Sling-a-Thing]] station. Once it has been used as a sticker, it returns to its original position. It may also be purchased from the [[Shady Toad]] for 140 [[Coin]]s and sells for 20 coins.

As a sticker, it takes up four squares in Mario's Album. When it is used in a battle, the background gets replaced with orange paper lanterns and a table that the Cat-o-Luck is placed upon. The Cat-o-Luck proceeds to rocket over to the battle and crushes the enemies three times. After, it flies back to its original position and meows as the normal background returns. During this sequence, music played by Japanese instruments plays. The player may press {{button|3DS|A}} as the Cat-o-Luck crushes the enemies to increase the damage dealt.

The Cat-o-Luck can be placed into the Sticker Museum as #59, alongside other crush-based Things. Its description describes the tendency of cats to offer high-fives.

It's not uncommon to see a cat offering high-fives to passers-by - hence this sculpture. We believe the symbol may mean "Down low! You're too slow!"

In ''Paper Mario: Color Splash'', the Cat-o-Luck can be found on the top floor of [[The Crimson Tower]]. Once it has been picked up, it is wrung out, refills Mario's paint, and becomes a colorless card. It is kept until it is used in battle, after which it returns to its original position. It may also be purchased from the [[Wringer]] for 300 coins and sold as an unpainted card for 1 coin.

When used in battle, {{wp|Shoji}} doors open to reveal a scene made of Japanese iconography. From the Great Waves, the Cat-o-Luck slowly rises as Mario runs off. It flies around before crushing the enemies several times with the last three crushes being timed with the music. The scene ends with the Shoji doors closing. The player may press {{button|WiiU|A}} repeatedly to increase the damage dealt.

In the [[Prisma Museum]], it is on the first page of Thing Cards.
