'''Lucky Cat Mario''',<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ThPAYK9cJI&t=5m04s The Cat Mario Show #12]</ref><ref name="prima">Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett. ''Super Mario 3D World'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 14.</ref> also known as '''Maneki-Neko Mario'''<ref>http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wiiu/super-mario-3d-world/0/1</ref> or '''Golden Statue Mario''',<ref name="prima"/> is a derivative form of [[Cat Mario]] in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and returns in ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. It resembles the original form, except the character wears a red collar with a [[Lucky Bell]] on it. The user transforms into this when a [[Ground Pound]] is performed after grabbing a Lucky Bell.
'''Lucky Cat Mario''' is a [[:Category:Forms|form]] of [[Mario]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. In this form, Mario has identical abilities to [[Cat Mario]], and when he uses a [[Ground Pound]], he can also turn into the invincible [[Golden Statue Mario]] &ndash; akin to [[Tanooki Mario]]'s [[Statue Mario]] form, except he earns [[Coin]]s and defeats [[List of enemies|enemies]] on contact. Mario looks exactly like Cat Mario in this form, except he wears a red bell collar.
The [[Lucky Bell]], the [[List of power-ups|power-up]] required for this form, begins appearing in [[World Mushroom (Super Mario 3D World)|World Mushroom]], in the level {{world|mushroom2|2}}: [[Spiky Mount Beanpole]]. If Lucky Cat Mario collects a [[Super Bell]] while in this form, he "downgrades" to Cat Mario, unlike collecting a [[Super Mushroom]] while Mario already has a power-up. Lucky Cat Mario strongly resembles Manekineko, an entity from Japanese culture.


In this form, the user is a golden {{wp|Maneki-neko}} statue of their Cat form holding a coin. [[Luigi]]'s Lucky Cat form is slightly different; he is shown raising his left paw instead of his right, unlike everyone else. The others' raised right paws are based on a gesture used to bring in wealth and good fortune, whereas Luigi's raised left paw is commonly associated with businesses and owners wanting to bring in customers.

{{BoxTop}}
While similar to [[Tanooki Mario]]'s [[Statue Mario|Statue form]], Mario is [[Invincible Mario|invincible]], rather than merely invulnerable and ignored by enemies; he also earns [[Coin]]s while falling in this form. Mario cannot remain in this form indefinitely; he reverts to Cat Mario either if the player stops the ground pound, or its 12-second time limit expires. Lucky Cat Mario can defeat almost all normally invincible enemies, such as [[spiked roller]]s, [[Fuzzy|Fuzzies]], [[Thwomp]]s, [[Fuzzler]]s, and [[Rammerhead]]s, and instantly defeat enemies that usually take multiple hits. However, it cannot defeat [[Ka-thunk]]s, [[Big Ant Trooper]]s, or [[Charvaargh]]s, and it does not protect against [[Poison (obstacle)|poison]], [[lava]], [[Fuzzy Horde]]s, or being crushed. In ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', this form prevents Mario from [[roll]]ing in midair, since he cannot stop his Ground Pound.
