Risky Whisker Island: Wasteland Giga Bell 2

Find all 5 Cat Shines on Risky Whisker Island in Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury! Get tips for Fury Shadow, Fuzzies, timed challenges, and more.

Alright, let's tackle Risky Whisker Island in Bowser's Fury! This place has 5 Cat Shines, and we'll grab 'em all. Don't worry, it's pretty straightforward once you know what to do.

Fury Shadow Hops to It Cat Shine

First up, we're chasing a Fury Shadow that looks like Luigi. Ranged power-ups are super helpful here, but not strictly necessary. Keep an eye on those donut blocks; they fall when you step on them, so you might have to wait a sec for them to reappear. The Fury Shadow mostly sticks to the same path, even going up the donut stairs. Just hit it three times to snag this Cat Shine.

Feasting on Fuzzies Cat Shine

This next one is a bit unique! Right after you enter the island, you'll see a potted Piranha Plant. Grab it! Then, find the Fuzzies wandering around. When you carry the Piranha Plant close to a Fuzzy, it'll eat it. Your mission? Eat all the Fuzzies this way. Don't sweat it if the Piranha Plant gets eaten; it respawns quickly. All the Fuzzies are out in the open, so no hidden ones to worry about. Once they're all gone, the Cat Shine pops up near the start.

Hurry! Hop behind the Wall! Cat Shine

On the first stable platform, you'll spot a big button. Ground Pound it! This makes more of the course appear and kicks off a 20-second timer. If you have a Super Leaf, it'll make this timed challenge way easier since you can glide over the big gaps. The goal is to reach a grey brick wall at the end before time runs out. You'll also have to deal with some Magikoopas throwing magic blasts. The intended way to get the Shine is to use the cannons to shoot bombs into the brick wall. There's a Magikoopa near the end that might try to mess with your aim, so be careful. If that's too tricky, or you're running out of time, you can always use the Super Bell to climb right over the wall. Either way, the Cat Shine is waiting behind that wall.

Five Cat Shine Shards Cat Shine

Finding the five Cat Shine Shards on this island is pretty easy since they're all out in the open. Let's go clockwise starting with the gate behind you. Cat Shine Shard #1 is in the air between two elevated donut blocks. Cat Shine Shard #2 is on a corner, and it looks like it's floating, but it's on an invisible cloud platform. Head around the corner to some donut stairs and go up; Cat Shine Shard #3 is on a platform at the top. Drop back down and head to the next corner for Cat Shine Shard #4, which is between two donut blocks. Having the Tanooki Suit here makes it a bit easier. A little further on, you'll find Cat Shine Shard #5 above some disconnected donut blocks. Again, the Tanooki Suit is your friend here for floating down. Grab all five, and you'll get your Cat Shine!

Blast the Fury Blocks Cat Shine

You'll find the Fury Blocks underneath the main donut block area. You can reach them easily since it's on solid ground. The surrounding water is black goop until you get the first Shine, but you can get to these blocks anytime. The best way to get this Shine is to wait for Bowser to show up. Once he's here, stand next to the Fury Blocks and have him smash them. This will reveal the Cat Shine!
