Cat Shine Shards are collectibles found exclusively in theBowser's Fury campaign ofSuper Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. They are smaller, less complex versions ofCat Shines, being red, shaped like a cat's head, and rimmed with gold, but lacking pointed decorations and gold facial features.
The fourth mission of each of the twelve major islands acrossLake Lapcat is titled "Five Cat Shine Shards." As the name suggests, whenMario enters an island with this mission incomplete, five Cat Shine Shards are hidden throughout it. If either Mario,Plessie (while Mario is riding it), orBowser Jr. comes in contact with a Cat Shine Shard, it is collected and displayed on the bottom of the screen in relation to its position, with shards found earlier in the obstacle courses being placed more to the left. Cat Shine Shards can also be collected by throwing held objects at them, such asbaseballs,shells, orkittens.
Similarly toMoon Shards fromSuper Mario Odyssey, orSilver Stars fromSuper Mario 64 DS,Super Mario Galaxy, andSuper Mario Galaxy 2, collecting all five Cat Shine Shards completes the mission. After the respective mission has been completed on an island, Cat Shine Shards are no longer present there.
