As Super Gatinhas (translates to The Super Kittens) is the Brazilian Portuguese dub of Tokyo Mew Mew. It was dubbed from the Mew Mew Power version, so most of the character names and ages were kept from the English dub, except for Bridget, whose name was changed to Brigiti (pronounced like Bri-jeh-chee) so it would be easier to pronounce in their language. Also like the English version, only 26 episodes were dubbed.
Because of the title change, some of the terms were changed as well. The Mew Mews are now called Super Kittens, all of the Mew puns are gone, the transformation phrase is now "Pendant's Power... Metamorphosis!/Activate!" and the café is now renamed Café Meow. In order to get rid of the Mew part and to make Zoey's/Ichigo's catchphrase rhyme, it was changed to "Meu estilo, meu disfarce, meu poder na sua face!" (translates to "My style, my disguise, my power in your face!")
The Brazilian Portuguese dub aired on Cartoon Network in Brazil and later on aired on their Boomerang digital cable channel.
Note: "Kitten" is a way to call a person good-looking in brazilian portuguese. This is one of the probable reasons of the title The Super Kittens.

Music[]
The Brazilian Portuguese version dubbed the English theme song, along with all of the insert songs, into their language. Clean music tracks for the insert songs themselves couldn't be obtained, so they had to redo the music, thus giving the instrumentals a softer tone. All of the songs were sung by Soraya Orenga.
As Super Gatinhas Theme and Inserts English Subbed
All of the Brazilian Portuguese songs with English subtitles.
There were also times when the lyrics are sung in a different tempo, thus making the songs sound slightly different from the English versions (their version of "Lucky Me" being the most obvious example).
List of Songs:
- Opening: Let's Go! (Originally titled "Team Up!)
- 1st Transformation Theme: Animal Instinct
- 2nd Transformation Theme: Supernatural
