While Super Mario 3D World is most definitely a good time, those of you who have already experienced the game on Wii U will be most interested in the excellent Bowser's Fury expansion, which offers an open-world setting with Cat Shines to collect.

In this guide, we'll be showing you all of the Cat Shine locations in Bowser's Fury.

Fur Step Island Cat Shine Locations

Fur Step Island Cat Shine "Make The Lighthouse Shine"

This one's dead easy to get. When you begin the game, walk through the tress directly ahead and jump up onto the shipwreck. Fury Bowser will start firing things in your direction – avoid them and dash down the ship's deck before veering off to the right. You'll see a stack of Bowser Blocks to your right; hide behind the rock platforms which fall on the left of the screen when Fury Bowser uses his fire breath, which will destroy the boxes and give you access to your very first Cat Shine via a set of small stairs.

There are four more Cat Shines located on Fur Step Island, but you'll have to get them later on in the game when you've beaten Fury Bowser, so we'll come back to those later. For now, head over to the next location, Scamper Shores.

Fur Step Island Post-Game Cat Shine Locations

Fur Step Island Cat Shine "Junior's Graffiti Gratitude" (Post-Game)

The following Cat Shine can only be obtained once you have completely defeated Fury Bowser.

After you've defeated Fury Bowser for good, return to Fur Step Island using the handy 'warp' ability (accessible from the map screen). Make your way up onto the deck of the pirate ship and you'll see a question mark. Hold the 'R' shoulder button and tilt the controller so that the hand icon is on the question mark – this will tell Bowser Jr to interact with it. He'll paint a picture that celebrates your time together, and give you a Cat Shine.

Fur Step Island Cat Shine "Fury Shadow On Deck" (Post-Game)

The following Cat Shine can only be obtained once you have completely defeated Fury Bowser.

Exit the area and return, and you'll see Dark Luigi near the archway. Defeat him and another Cat Shine is yours.

Fur Step Island Cat Shine "Five Cat Shine Shards" (Post-Game)

The following Cat Shine can only be obtained once you have completely defeated Fury Bowser.

Five Cat Shine Shards will appear on Fur Step Island once you've finally defeated Fury Bowser. The first is at the top of the cat-shaped mountain, close to the Fur Step Island archway. Make sure you're wearing the Cat suit as this makes things much easier.

The second is at the top of the ship's mast.

The third is sitting on top of one of the Goomba-columns you face, just as you exit the ship.

For the next shard, backtrack a little and look over the edge to see the ship's Bowser figurehead – there's a shard on his nose.

The final shard is located on the right-hand side of the ship, at the waterline.
