As you may have noticed, there's been a flurry of Super Mario-based news today following the surprise (or not so surprise, perhaps) Super Mario 35th Anniversary Direct broadcast. Just one such nugget of news was the long-awaited arrival of Wii U's Super Mario 3D World on Switch in the form of the expanded Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury.
The game is coming out on 12th February next year and Nintendo plans to release a double pack of new amiibo on the same day. Behold Cat Mario and Cat Peach in their glorious hi-res packaged form:
Obviously, the furry suits look a little less fluffy in plastic form, but they still look super cute in our book. There's no word yet on their exact in-game functionality, although they may well have something to do with the expanded Bowser's Fury content.
We'll keep an eye out for more information and update this post.
Got enough amiibo gathering dust already or will you be adding these to your bookcase? Let us know below.

Wow, look at the fur. 😲
Peach is adorable, but I'm not buying them
Purrfect A-meow-bo, can't wait to get my paws on these.
These are adorable.
They look fantastic, no cash to buy them though.
If amiibo actually did much in games anymore it would help.
I'll probably end up ordering these alongside Super Mario 3D World, assuming that the game also gets a physical release. I'll be surprised if it does not.
If they released a Cat Blue Toad amiibo I might pick that up.
Hm. You'd think they'd have flocked these, like the Vulpix Funko Pop.
Shame they’re hard plastic. We got woolly Yoshi amiibo (and the squishy/flexible Metroid and Guardian figures), would it be that hard to make these guys fuzzy somehow?
Why weren't those announced?! I much rather would buy them then Remake #38489...
Will probably buy, if they are reasonably priced $29.99 and I see them on sale somewhere besides eBay.
So I probably won't I guess. 🤣
I'm SO Done with Amiibo. Nintendo consistently and deliberately bungling every single wave release, aside from AC has really soured me on it. I've still to this day never managed to find K. Rool, Simon Belmont and the Ice Climbers. Nintendo's sucky distribution tactics can kiss my butt.
I thought amiibo was over (aside from the Smash DLC, anyway). I’ve collected them all up to this point so I guess I have to buy these, too... Who am I kidding? They’re adorable and I want them.
I sill have my cat mario limited case with fake fur on mario's belly.
Peach in this outfit = Bowsers Furry?
[The Godfather Part III quote]
Plasticized fur, I'll pass and hunt for an extra Yarn Poochy.
See, this I want
I Love Amiibo!!
I'd want to know what they do. I only get amiibo now if they unlock particular features in the game that I want.
Crap, my daughter just saw the Cat Peach... I am now doomed to own this.
They look good. But I am not in the market for any Mario amiibos at the moment. Unless these have some irresistible functionality in the game.
👏 Furry 👏 Mario 👏 Amiibo 👏 Confirmed
@Ratking Well, Furry Mario Amiibo. I edited the comment lol
They got to make a mario 64 amiibo with polygon mario
@Ratking Furry Disease? Isn't that kinda mean?
I guess a red cat just looked weird?
Those amiibo are rugged!
YEAH AMIIBO.
Awesome. I feared that the Smash ones would be the last ones.
don't like the look of the mario one but think i'll pick up the peach one
Aww I want a Rosalina one.
Come on Nintendo, it's not like there'll be many more new amiibo after these.
I'll buy both as long as I can actually find them!
Never bought an Amiibo before. How much are these usually?
@RupeeClock
You can pre-order the physical version on Best Buy.... So yea
@Investor9872 around $12- $15 usd
Usually $12.99 usd
but Cat Toad, tho 😕😕😕
@Ttimer5 Cool. Thanks!
There’s still one question they’ve never addressed - why is Mario’s cat suit yellow, but every other character is matched to their regular color? Shouldn’t Cat Mario be red?
Not to say I mind the way it is. A red cat suit wouldn’t look as good as the yellow one. I guess Cat Mario is closely connected to Builder Mario.
I stopped buying Amiibo a loong time ago. They have very limited use, and collecting them isn't really my thing (anymore). These look nice though.
I'm surprised that we didn't get a Cat Luigi, Cat Toad or a Cat Bowser.
@Ratking That's like one side of the community, and plenty of non-furries do it too lol
Obviously I failed to read all the other comments before posting. I wasn’t the first to bring up the colors.
I guess they can’t replace the blue toad with a yellow one this time, though.
@HotGoomba take my like and leave.
I want a girl to sit on me like Cat Peach is sitting on the aMiibo base.
@Tempestryke That's unfortunate, There are a bunch of k rools and richters at game stops and bestbuys near me, keep you eyes peeled!
C'mon we need a Cat Bowser amiibo!
@Jimsbo
I just thought that it matched the golden lucky cat more.... And red would look like blood.... #PETAreadytofightNintendo
I have many amiibo, but Nintendo has really slowed down interactions in games, right? I like that they can be displayed but I think the silly functionalities always pushed me over the edge to purchase. These aren't quite grabbing (clawing?) me, and I honestly thought they might.
Especially next to the mario pose, the expression and pose for peach is really boring to me. Would have been cool if she was doing the cat dive or something active. shrug
One thing I have learned after buying many amiibo, though: They almost always look better in person.
Can't way to use these while playing Bowser's Furry!
