No, that honor belongs to the cat bell featured at the start of the trailer. ![]() Yet, the most interesting bit of cat imagery in the Bowser’s Fury trailer isn’t the Cat Suit, the cat ears, or even the bits of cat architecture. In recent years, Nintendo has gotten a lot of mileage out of the Cat Suit. Nintendo even released a video series called The Cat Mario Show which featured Cat Mario and Cat Peach sharing gameplay tips and random bits of Nintendo related information. Cat Mario, Cat Peach, and other feline formatted versions of popular Mario characters appear in Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8, Super Mario Maker 2, and more. It’s also very much worth noting that Super Mario 3D World is hardly the only time that the Cat Suit appears in the Mario universe. The Cat Suit was even featured on the game’s cover. After all, Super Mario 3D World‘s defining image was the game’s Cat Suit which granted Mario and friends the ability to pounce on enemies, swipe at foes, and sprint at high speeds (which we assume are enhanced when the player utilizes that ability at 3 A.M. While Nintendo hasn’t formally explained the meaning of the cat imagery in Bowser’s Fury, it’s easy enough to make some reasonable guesses at what’s going on. The DLC may be called Bowser’s Fury, but the trailer suggests the real working name was Bowser’s Furry. That’s obviously awesome, but it sadly only raises more questions about the overwhelming amount of cat imagery featured in that trailer. While some of those designs are subtle, Nintendo eventually decides to treat subtlety with all of the respect afforded to the concept by a Zack Snyder script by ending the DLC’s trailer with a shot of Mario turning into a Super Saiyan cat in order to summon the power of a thousand felines batting a thousand balls of yarn. ![]()
