Lighthouse (Bowser's Fury)
The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by the editors. If an official name is found, then the article should be moved to its appropriate title.
It has been requested that more images be uploaded for this article. Remove this notice only after the additional image(s) have been added. Reason: Focused images of an activated and corrupted Cat Lighthouse
Template:Item-infobox Cat Lighthouses are tall towers topped with cat ears that appear in the Bowser's Fury campaign of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. For each of the twelve major islands across Lake Lapcat, there is one Cat Lighthouse, colored according to the region denoted by the Giga Bells. All Cat Lighthouses are initially corrupted by the black goop seen throughout Lake Lapcat and covering Fury Bowser. While corrupted, their tops are covered in goop, and they emit a purple aura.
The first mission of many islands is titled "Make the Lighthouse Shine", and involves collecting a Cat Shine typically found at the end of an obstacle course. Regardless of the mission's title, collecting the first Cat Shine on any island with a Cat Lighthouse will cause the Cat Shine to fill one of the five indicators stacked on the body of the lighthouse, starting from the bottom. The power of the Cat Shine then causes the Cat Lighthouse to activate, removing the goop and turning on the oscillating light at its top. Collecting another Cat Shine in the area will cause another indicator to be filled and the power of the lighthouse to grow slightly stronger. When Fury Bowser is active, collecting a Cat Shine to increase the power of the nearby Cat Lighthouse will cause him to shield his eyes and retreat to the Fury Sun, ending his rampage prematurely.
By removing the goop from a Cat Lighthouse, a small compartment will open on its front that reveals a Clear Pipe, which Mario can enter to take him to the top with a small observation platform. The first several times he does this, text will appear in the form of messages from the Cat Lighthouse, usually offering gameplay tips or hints. Additionally, a yellow glowing spot is present on the tops of all activated Cat Lighthouses; if Mario Ground Pounds or claw dives at it, it will reveal a random power-up.
