After beating Giga Bowser and getting the ending credits in Bowser’s Fury, you’ll be able to explore a “new” island it’s really just the level you started your adventure from, but with a few extra Shines to grab. One of those shines is related to a mini-quest with Toadette. You’ll find her camp near the crashed armada ship approaching will reveal there are four lost toads.
And these toads aren’t anywhere near Toadette’s location. They can be literally anywhere on the map, so finding them is a real pain. There are only four of them, but some are hidden under levels, in secret alcoves, or at the top of tall peaks. We’ve got screenshots and text to help you find them all and get closer to 100% completion.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury provides two varying styles of Mario games. On the one hand, 3D World is very linear and is closer to a traditional 2D Mario game. Make your way to Bowser’s Fury, though, and you find an open world sandbox mode closer to the likes of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Odyssey. In this open world, you find Cat Shines that will help bring Bowser back to his usual size and less scary state. Along the way, you will need to find and rescue the brave and adventurous Toad Brigade. Finding each one will reward you with a Cat Shine. Here is where to find the Toad Brigade in Bowser’s Fury.
How do Cat Shines work and how many Shines are there in Bowser s Fury?
Hidden throughout the lake and the many islets of Bowser s Fury, there are 100 Cat Shines in total to collect. You don t need that many to complete the game, but if you want them all you ll have to search high and low to find them all.
Each island has its own lighthouse, and each lighthouse has five Cat Shines. Of those Shines one is always Bowser Block, and another is always collecting five collectibles hidden across the island. Two Shines on each lighthouse need players to leave and return to the island before they can be found. Once a lighthouse has all its Cat Shines, you will see a Mario flag hoisted at the top.
