Trivia
- Unlike the other characters' cat suits, Mario and Rosalina's suits don't match their color clothing.
- When in Cat form, a jingling sound can sometimes be heard when the player jumps.
- In the beta version of Super Mario 3D World, whenever Mario transformed into Cat Mario, he would say "Nya Nya", which is Japanese for "meow". In the final version, this was changed to "Meow meow" instead.
- According to Iwata Asks: Super Mario 3D World, the reason for Rosalina's cat suit being black was by a request from Super Mario Galaxy director Yoshiaki Koizumi.[3]
