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.

We have played Super Mario 3D World online. How does it hang?
Revisiting Super Mario 3D World on Switch helps point out to me both how the world is wildly different now when compared to 2013 when the game first debuted on Wii U, and how much my own life has changed. We sit on the precipice of the release of the Switch port of Super Mario 3D World, which most notably adds Bowser’s Fury. That new mode is extremely promising, and from what I can talk about in the preview embargo, I feel like the most I can muster from that is a bunch of thumbs-up emojis and smiles. Check out John Rairdin’s bigger meditation on the new mode for more details.
