Super Mario 3D World is packed with great ideas, and one of the most obvious "I can't believe this wasn't done before" examples is the cat suit. Even members of the Nintendo Life team that have little love for actual cats seem to adore the power-up, as it's fun to use and watch in action.
Of course, applying Mario ideas to the real world doesn't often end well, which brings us to this latest video from Mega64, the YouTube channel we pointed out recently for its quirky video featuring Shigeru Miyamoto. This time around the charms of the cat suit prompt the video makers to construct a mini stage and attempt to create a real Cat Mario; you can imagine how well it goes.
And, of course, the cat wasn't actually harmed when making this video, though it might have got slightly annoyed; nothing some treats couldn't make better.

gotta love mega64
Much like the Japanese gamers according to Super Mario 3D World's sales figures...
It wouldn't be the Internet without cat videos after all.
I did enjoy that! hahahaha!!!
Lol the was funny
Just lost it after the first minute.
I felt the need to cry at the end.
@CountWavula actually FF13 lightning returns bombed in japan recently
2009: Final Fantasy XIII (PS3) - 1,501,964

The end of the video was in really poor taste and not funny at all.
@CountWavula New Super Mario Bros. Wii sold several millions, Super Mario Galaxy games sold over a million. You were saying?
That was great, I do love a good Mega64 video.
@Mahe The data he gave you are just for one day in the market...
Not a funny video! At first I laughed, because of the dude's face! But then came the cat part! Surely the cat didn't enjoy it one bit, and the ending was tasteless!
I am a cat-lover, and the ending made me sick!
Everyone its own taste, I guess!
@Henmii Wow... lighten up. I highly doubt anyone condones animal violence.
Mario MUST own a cat. Luigi's got a Polterpup now, so it makes perfect sense!
That was probably more funny than it should have been...
More Mega64 articles! :3
Cat+yellow paint because why not?
some of you must realise that wasnt a real cat in the dumpster scene right? lol, poor taste my butt
That was funnier than I expected it to be. I've seen people do far more cruel things to pets than trying to give them a real world Super Mario experience.
He should have put catnip on the ? boxes.
Oh, gosh that's awful... Not crying about animal abuse, just the end awww ;_; But otherwise pretty funny.
@Mahe Over their lifespan of course rather than in four days...
@Mahe there is only 1 million Wii U's in Japan. Are you expecting a 100 % attach rate?
SM3DW sold 100k physical copies. That's a 10% attach rate, but remember that's physical only, so digital would increase that number, but we will never know that number. You said galaxy sold 1 million to Japan? with 10 million Wii's in Japan? That would be a 10% attach rate as well.
SM3DW sold as expected. 10%.
Poor kitty! I agree with the other posters; the ending was tasteless.
@StarDust I take it you think he actually threw the cat in the dumpster then?
I felt this was wrong. Yeah I am the party pooper.
@Henmii Just to be clear, of course we don't condone animal violence, and neither, I would imagine, does Mega 64. It's very clearly a fake cat at the end, in case there was any doubt.
Poor cat. :/
Wow, the comments here make me weep for the future. I love my 3 cats and would never hurt them but that was funny as hell.
hahaha funny , the cat look so awesome with mario cap xD
The cat is more stressed about the TV behind the set than the being handled around.
please god let it be a fake cat
@LunaticPandora No, for starters the cat is orange/orange and the ball of "fluff" he throws in the dumpster at the end is yellow/orange. The video is still in very bad taste IMO and shouldn't have been posted on Nlife.
@ThomasBW84,
I am fully aware that the cat at the end was fake!! But the first cat was real, and even a blind person can see that the cat wasn't enjoying it (he tried several times to run away)! Of course this could have been taught, but I doubt it! Also, the cat is hissing (or how do you call that)! But I guess that's just some sound-effect they add!
I still think its tasteless, but as I said earlier: Everyone its own taste!!
@iphys the end was in poor taste though
did not like the ending
Ending was hilarious!
@RawkHawk013 Mega64 is a tastless group, I believe an offensive ending was their intention.
Entire video made me laugh.
I am not tasteless...
