Cat Shine
This article is about a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this article may need major rewriting.

Cat Shines are the main collectible appearing in the Bowser's Fury mode of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. They boast a shiny, crimson appearance, shaped like a cat's head, complete with golden facial features, whiskers, and ear canals; surrounding this is a series of golden triangles of varying widths, loosely resembling the outer edges of a Shine Sprite. Cat Shines are often accompanied by a vibrant glow that makes them easy to spot.
One hundred of these collectibles are scattered all throughout Lake Lapcat, with sixty-five being found on its islands, and the remaining thirty-five hidden within the lake itself. Mario and Bowser Jr. must collect five of them in order to awaken a Giga Bell's power, with the number increasing as the player progresses through the game.[1] The animation that Mario performs when collecting the Cat Shines resembles the one done upon collecting a non-story-related Power Moon in Super Mario Odyssey. Collecting a Cat Shine as Small Mario turns Mario into Super Mario.
Collect
For the location of the 65 Cat Shines, see the Lake Lapcat section for each island.
In addition to the ones found on the islands themselves, there are also 35 individual Cat Shines scattered around Lake Lapcat as a whole. While each of them are counted individually and they are all labeled as from Lake Lapcat, the Cat Shines are usually found within a certain Giga Bell sector.
