Super Metal Hippoe (Japanese: 超メタルカバちゃん Chō metarukaba-chan) is a Metal enemy that only appears in Stories of Legend and some event stages such as Super Metal Hippoe (Expert).
Enemy
- The Super Metal Hippoe is a larger, stronger and faster version of Metal Hippoe that can be occasionally encountered in a limited-time stage for just one hour every three days, starting with the 1st of the month onward. It can also be played for a few hours a day during a Cat Ticket Festival.
- Upon successful completion of the limited-time stage, the player will be rewarded with a guaranteed Cat Ticket.
- This unit also appears as a boss in Fish Hell.
- With its guaranteed knockback ability, quick speed, and high health, this metal mammal can be very annoying if you are not equipped with proper Critical Hitters.

Strategies
- It is important to note that like all other Metal enemies, Super Metal Hippoe takes only 1 damage from any attack, unless it is a Critical Hit. As such, Critical Hitters are almost mandatory, unless you want a long, drawn out battle. Space Cats work very well as they outrange Super Metal Hippoe, allowing them to be stacked to increase the chance of a Critical Hit. Alternatively, Island Cat or Crazed Whale Cat can be used. Marauder Cat is extremely effective against it, since it can land highly damaging Critical Hits (a.k.a. "hits to the weak point" mentioned in its enemy description.)
- If you have Lion/Manic Lion Cat, you still have a small chance to beat it.
