Guide to Crisp Climb Castle in super mario 3d world, including how to get the Cat Shine and use Propeller Boxes.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the main gate, go straight across icy platforms to find Propeller Boxes.
  2. 2
    Use a Propeller Box to fly up to the next section, following the arrow sign on the wall.
  3. 3
    Fly to the next ledge, then to a wooden platform sticking out of the wall.
  4. 4
    Jump to more rotating wooden platforms around the tower.
  5. 5
    Time your jump and fly off the first set of rotating platforms to reach the second set above.
  6. 6
    You will reach the top of the first tower, where you can find ice, a green pipe (a shortcut to the base), and Flopter enemies.
  7. 7
    Continue by timing jumps to more rotating wooden platforms across to another floating tower.
  8. 8
    Use a Propeller Jump to fly to these platforms, then move to a lone wooden platform with more question mark boxes.
  9. 9
    An arrow sign above points upwards; you need to fly up, but a wooden platform is in the way. Move left or jump off the rotating platforms to ascend.
  10. 10
    Avoid the formation of Biddybuds by waiting for them to move, then fly up to the next ledge.
  11. 11
    Around the corner, a tall stack of Biddybugs requires you to fly over or duck under.
  12. 12
    If you get hit, more Propeller Boxes are around the next corner. Use one to ascend the next set of wooden ledges to the top, where a power-up awaits.
  13. 13
    Face vertically aligned rotating platforms like clock hands. Both rotate clockwise. Drop onto the first to easily reach the second.
  14. 14
    On the second, get on top of a hand and fly up to the next ledge.
  15. 15
    You will encounter another vertically aligned rotating platform with a wall in the way. Jump down and go underneath the wall, using the Propeller Box to reach the rotating object. Falling will restart the section.
  16. 16
    Safely land on the rotating object and jump to the next ledge.
  17. 17
    The final obstacle is a large set of rotating wooden blades spinning counterclockwise, with an opening around the central pivot point containing Biddybuds moving clockwise.
  18. 18
    Drop down and go through the opening near the center. On the right side, get to the top of any blade with a flat bit extending from it.
  19. 19
    From there, fly to the top of the island where the lighthouse and the Cat Shine are located.
Tips
  • You can hold the jump button to float longer during Propeller Jumps.
  • If you fall from certain obstacles, you may need to restart the section.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Return to the gate and grab a Propeller Box. Fly up to the main area.
  2. 2
    Find and Ground Pound a large purple button to start a timer. You must hurry to the Shine.
  3. 3
    The Shine is on the first tower, but the normal path is blocked.
  4. 4
    Wooden rotating platforms will appear after pushing the button. Fly up each one until you reach the final platform.
  5. 5
    From the final rotating platform, fly over to the rotating platforms at the base of the second tower.
  6. 6
    From there, you should have enough room to fly into the air and float over to the first tower to grab the Cat Shine.

Alternate Method (Requires Cat Mario):

  1. After hitting the switch, fly up to the wooden platform as if going the normal route.
  2. Fly up next to the wall, then hug it to begin climbing as Cat Mario.
  3. As soon as you stop climbing, jump off and immediately dive back towards the wall with Y or X to get another climb.
  4. If done correctly, you will have enough height to reach the Cat Shine.
Tips
  • The last jump for the timed run requires the Propeller Block.
Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Return to the island where you will see the Fury Shadow before the ledge leading to the main area.
  2. 2
    Getting close enough to the Fury Shadow will trigger it.
