Complete walkthrough for Fort Flaptrap in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. Find all Cat Shines, including Bully the Cat Bullies Cat Shine, Blue Coin Bustle Cat Shine, and more.

Fort Flaptrap features several Cat Shines that require different approaches. This guide covers how to obtain each one.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Bully the Cat Bullies Cat Shine: In the main area, five Bullies will spawn. Knock all of them into the lava. You can jump on them, use power-ups, or lure them onto flipping platforms. The Cat Shine appears after defeating all Bullies.
  2. 2
    Blue Coin Bustle Cat Shine: Activate the P-Switch at the base of the main structure. Collect all blue coins that appear before they disappear. The coins appear in three sets: on the flipping panels, in the main area (watch out for Stingbies), and on opposing sides of panels in the main area. The Cat Shine appears after collecting all blue coins.
  3. 3
    Show’s Over, Cat Magikoopas Cat Shine: Defeat all six Magikoopas in the main area. Ranged power-ups like the Fire Flower or Boomerang Flower are recommended due to the flipping panels and lava. The Cat Shine appears after defeating the last Magikoopa.
  4. 4
    Five Cat Shine Shards Cat Shine: Collect five Cat Shine Shards scattered around the island. Shard #1 is on the flipping panels at the base. Shard #2 is behind the lighthouse on the main area railing. Shard #3 is among trees on the right side of the front base. Shard #4 is at the top of a tree near Fury Blocks on the southeastern edge. Shard #5 is found by rolling into a brick block on the northern side, revealing a hidden passage. The Cat Shine appears after collecting all five shards.
  5. 5
    Blast the Fury Blocks Cat Shine: Locate the Fury Blocks on the southeastern beach of the island. (Details on how to blast them to reveal the Shine are not fully provided in the source text).
Tips
  • Flipping platforms require careful jumping; jump into the side that is not currently solid to be lifted.
  • Lava in Bowser's Fury results in instant death.
  • Bullies do not harm Mario directly but can knock him back.
  • Ranged power-ups are useful for defeating enemies from a safe distance.
  • Be quick when collecting blue coins to avoid running out of time or falling.
