The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

Players call this entry a direct copy of part 13, with no changes to gameplay, visuals, or music. Levels are colorful and imaginative, but the difficulty is noticeably easier than recent installments, with gold medals achievable on first tries even in hard mode.
