In the game's ending cutscene, the protagonists will always leave the [[Sprixie Kingdom]] and return to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] in their Cat forms, even if they did not use them for the final battle against Meowser.

|Concept artwork of the Cat forms}}
Concept artwork shows that [[Princess Peach]]'s Cat form was originally going to incorporate her brooch. It also shows that the Cat forms of characters would wear normal gloves, rather than having cat paw gloves. In an [[List of Super Mario 3D World pre-release and unused content|earlier version]] of ''Super Mario 3D World'', whenever Mario transformed into Cat Mario, he would say "nyaa", the Japanese sound for a cat's meow. In the final version, this was changed to "meow".


The form reappears in the original game's [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Reissue#Ports|port]], ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury'', serving the same role as it did in the previous game. Its claw dive move's duration has been extended to the point where it will almost always last until it reaches the ground instead of lasting only two seconds, although in ''Bowser's Fury'', it may stop automatically due to there being higher structures than in ''Super Mario 3D World''. It is also involved in a [[List of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury glitches#Dive With Any Item|glitch]] that allows it to claw dive while in another form. Most of the enemies and bosses gain Cat forms in ''Bowser's Fury'', but these are only visual changes; this characteristic also applies to [[Goomba]]s, despite already having Cat forms in ''Super Mario 3D World''. The only exceptions to this are Cat Bullet Bills, which retain their homing behavior from ''Super Mario 3D World''. [[Kitten]]s, who have the same coloration of the playable cast's forms except for the red and calico ones, follow Cat Mario around and become affectionate towards him by nuzzling him, but if Mario approaches while in any other form, they flee from him. Additionally, [[Plessie]] gains a Cat appearance during the final battle, and stays that way afterwards.
