Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is a new game that presents itself as an enhanced port of the original Super Mario 3D World for the Wii U. However, Bowser’s Fury is a completely new, standalone experience that brings the catsuit power-up and new characters to the world of 3D Mario games. One of Bowser’s Fury’s central elements are the 100 Cat Shines players must collect across the Lake Lapcat region to access the final boss fight with Chaos Bowser.
Overview
The Cat Shines found in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury are special collectibles scattered throughout Lake Lapcat. Collecting these Cat Shine unlocks further rewards and progress, which ultimately leads to reaching Chaos Bowser at the end. While there are only five main islands featured in Bowser’s Fury, each with their own unique level layouts and challenges, many of them also feature secret areas full of obstacles, puzzles, and even more Cat Shines.
Finding All 100 Cat Shines
Finding all 100 Cat Shines in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury can be a daunting task for even seasoned gamers. Fortunately, there are several helpful tips and tricks for locating optional hidden areas and unlocking hard-to-reach Cat Shines. For example, it pays to keep an eye out for suspiciously empty spots on walls or floors near key power-ups or exits—these could be false walls covering secret passages leading to extra rewards. Additionally, some levels contain switches that will unlock special events with enemies or hazards that will reward players with additional (or hidden) cat shines.
