(Interestingly, the Bowser's Fury Cat Goomba isn't just a palette swap, but is its own model ('Fur' being the extension for the "Cat" enemies from Bowser's Fury); their 'Climb' (original Cat) textures also have 'New' in their names, which could suggest that the form wasn't originally a cat.)

Cat Goombas[1] are a furry, catlike variant of a Goomba. They make their primary appearance in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, where they mirror Cat Mario as an enemy form.

History

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

Cat Goombas attack by jumping, then diving down, in the same way that Cat Mario can. Like Mario, they meow when doing this. They can be defeated with any attack, sometimes dropping a Super Bell. Cat Goombas are introduced in Super Bell Hill and reappear in Mount Beanpole, Mystery House Melee, and The Great Tower of Bowser Land.

Notably, in the Nintendo Switch port, specifically in Bowser's Fury's Lake Lapcat, there are brown Cat Goombas,[2] but their cat appearances are only aesthetic changes and they do not gain any new abilities. As such, the Cat Goombas here behave like regular Goombas (i.e. chasing the player as soon as they spot them).

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

With Super Bell Hill making an appearance as a retro stage in the Wii U version of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Cat Goombas return as well, acting the same as in their previous appearance.
