'''Meowser''' | '''Meowser''' or '''Cat Bowser'''<ref>Alt text of the Meowser decoration in the ''[[Cat Transformation Center]]'' application ([[Play Nintendo]] website)</ref> is the name used for the [[Cat Mario|Cat form]] of [[Bowser]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Bowser obtains the form only once during the final battle in [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]]. He has orange fur with a white underbelly and brown stripes similar to a tiger's, a ringed tail, cat ears instead of horns, whiskers, and his nose is black. His hands and feet retain their claws, but become white and adorned with pink paw pads. His hair is colored red, white, and brown, his shell appears to become more gray-blue, looking similar to [[Dry Bowser]]'s (but without red gaps), and the rings around his spikes are more red. He retains his ability to breathe fire in this form, but it is pink (and blue when the player reaches the top of the tower) instead of its usual orange. Even his trademark roar becomes different, giving off more of a meow-like sound. Additionally, he is larger than normal Bowser. Like [[Cat Goomba]]s and [[Cat Bullet Bill]]s, the form is more akin to a transformation than a suit. The name is a portmanteau of "Bowser" and "meow", the onomatopoeia for the sound that a cat makes. | ||

During the final battle in ''Super Mario 3D World'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', like Cat Mario, Meowser can climb walls and swipe his claws at his enemies. Unlike Cat Mario, however, his tail is large enough to whip, like [[Tanooki Mario]], as well as retaining his ability to breathe fire (though he uses this less often). After the player(s) attack | During the final battle in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', like Cat Mario, Meowser can climb walls and swipe his claws at his enemies. Unlike Cat Mario, however, his tail is large enough to whip, like [[Tanooki Mario]], as well as retaining his ability to breathe fire (though he uses this less often). After the player(s) attack him with a [[POW Block]], Meowser uses the power of [[Double Cherry|Double Cherries]] to become '''[[Double Mario|Double Meowser]]''', spawning up to five doubles to fight them. The player cannot harm Meowser directly; the only way to finish the fight is to hit the Super POW Block four times at the top of the tower to defeat Meowser. The [[Clear Pipe]] to the [[Goal Pole]] will then be revealed. | ||
The final boss battle against Meowser is reminiscent of the final boss battle against [[Wario]] at the end of ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', where the final boss uses power-ups against the player. It is also similar to ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Super Koopa (episode)|Super Koopa]]", where Bowser also uses power-ups against the Mario Bros. (though through the use of a [[magic pendant]], rather than the power-ups themselves, and only in [[Earth|the Real World]]). | The final boss battle against Meowser is reminiscent of the final boss battle against [[Wario]] at the end of ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'', where the final boss uses power-ups against the player.
