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.
Ruins Giga Bell Shine Locations
Ruins Giga Bell Shine "Hurry! Swim and Slide!"
Just next to Slipstake Slope you'll probably have noticed a gate with Plessie's face on it, sitting in the water. Pass through on Plessie's back and a short course will appear, marked out by golden rings, leading back to the Lakeside Giga Bell. Complete the course within the time allotted and you'll be rewarded with a Cat Shine at the end.
Ruins Giga Bell Shine "Hurry! Slide through the Sky!"
When you collect your first Cat Shine in Crisp Castle Climb area, another Plessie gate will appear nearby. Swim through on Plessie's back and you'll encounter another time-based course, with a Cat Shine at the end.
Ruins Giga Bell Shine "Lost Kittens near the Ruins"
On Ruins Giga Bell island, you'll encounter yet another sad cat mum who has lost her kittens. The catch this time is that three of the little blighters have gone missing. Thankfully, the first is easy to find – it's on the beach of the very same island. Remember, if you're Cat Mario, the kitten won't be scared and run away.
The second kitten is on the top of Clawswipe Colosseum's archway. Make sure you're Cat Mario, and just climb up the side.
The third lost kitten is the hardest to rescue. It's located at the Crisp Castle Climb archway, and you've got to get it all the way back to the Ruins Giga Bell island – and the moment you fall into water, the kitten's position is reset. Thankfully, right next to the Crisp Castle Climb archway there's a floating island which rises up from the sea and moves slowly towards Trickity Tower, where you can alight safely. Make sure you navigate the submerged platforms carefully and don't fall into the water.
Ruins Giga Bell Shine "Ruins Rabbit Plays Tag"
Following the collection of a Shines at the Clawswipe Colosseum, an island will appear when the ink is removed, revealing a rabbit. Chase after it (ProTip: Plessie helps massively here) and once captured, it will surrender a Cat Shine.
Ruins Giga Bell Shine "Go with the Floe"
Remember that floating iceberg island you took between Trickity Tower and Crisp Castle Climb? You may have already noticed (and collected!) a Cat Shine floating in the air just above it. Time your jump carefully and it is yours.
Ruins Giga Bell Shine "Slippery Skirmish"
Outside Crisp Castle Climb you'll notice another button, which you can ground pound to activate. Beat the enemies which appear and a Cat Shine is yours.
Ruins Giga Bell Shine "Dash And Smash In The Clouds"
Next to the Ruins Giga Bell island you'll spot an island with three trees on it and some enemies walking around on the beach. There should be a smiling cloud at the top of the tallest tree. Shimmy up and jump into the cloud and you'll find yourself transported to a small course in the clouds. Collect the Star and take out all of the enemies – when you do, a Cat Shine will appear at the end. Once this is collected, simply leap through the gold rings to return to the land below.
Ruins Giga Bell Shine "Surprise Prizefight"
After you've beaten Bowser twice, he'll reveal a part of the map that is accessible via a sunken ship (it's close to Crisp Castle Climb). Hop on Plessie and travel up the ship to reach a new area of the map. Swim around the corner and you'll notice that the rival forks off in two directions – take the left fork and you'll come to a dead end with a button. Ground pound the button and a fight begins. Take out all of the enemies to win the Cat Shine – but note, one of them is almost invisible.
Ruins Giga Bell Shine "Jump And Thump In The Clouds"
Backtrack from the last Cat Shine location and continue down the river until you reach a section with a bunch of catfish. Look on the right-hand side for a hidden route that showcases an island with a cloud floating above it. Destory the crates to expose a jump pad, and use this to reach the cloud. Leap into the cloud, complete the course and bingo – another Cat Shine is in your possession. Hop into the gold rings to return to the ground below.
Well done! Now head onwards to Risky Whisker Island...
Ruins Giga Bell Post-Game Shine Locations
Ruins Giga Bell Shine "Plessie Medal Mania" (Post-Game)
The following Cat Shine can only be obtained once you have completely defeated Fury Bowser.
On the jetty next to the Trickity Tower lighthouse you'll spot another Plessie medal. Collect it, and the next one will appear close to Crisp Climb Castle. It will then teleport inland, but you can remain on Plessie's back to make the jumps if you so wish – it's a wise move as the medal then appears out at sea before turning into a Cat Shine.
Ruins Giga Bell Shine "Toad Brigade: Stuck Under The Slope" (Post-Game)
The following Cat Shine can only be obtained once you have completely defeated Fury Bowser.
Under Slipstake Slope, there's a Captain Toad awaiting rescue. The best way to reach them is to grab a Propellor box and then fall off the side of the slope, around about where the second golden ski shoe is located. You can then hover down to Captain Toad and collect the Cat Shine.
Ruins Giga Bell Shine "Gazing Down At The Islands" (Post-Game)
The following Cat Shine can only be obtained once you have completely defeated Fury Bowser.
Close to the Ruins Giga Bell you'll spot a pipe. Run inside and you can launch yourself high into the clouds. There are a series of dash pads with gaps in between them, but don't worry – there are invisible platforms you can run across. Simply get to the end of the course and a Cat Shine is yours to claim.
Ruins Giga Bell Shine "Lake Rabbit Plays Tag" (Post-Game)
The following Cat Shine can only be obtained once you have completely defeated Fury Bowser.
Just off the shores of Crisp Climb Castle, you'll spot another rabbit who wants to be chased. Once you've caught them, a Cat Shine is handed over.
Ruins Giga Bell Shine "Toad Brigade: Cuddly Castaway" (Post-Game)
The following Cat Shine can only be obtained once you have completely defeated Fury Bowser.
Use Plessie to make your way right at the top of the map, where you'll spot some flingers. Use them to reach the island and you'll meet another member of the Toad Brigade, who is surrounded by kittens. They'll hand over a Cat Shine for all of your hard work in reaching them.
