Fort Flaptrap

Fort Flaptrap is an island in Bowser's Fury.

Cat Shines:

Bully the Cat Bullies

Equip an offensive power up and jump to trigger the red and blue platforms to alternate flipping - this will be important for the battle ahead. (Super Mario 64 Reference: Bully the Bullies)

As you reach the arena, five Cat Bullies will spawn on a large grate platform over a pit of lava, and several of the flipping platforms will also be spaced around the arena. In order to defeat the Cat Bullies, you’ll need to either attack the Cat Bullies with your power up attack, or lead them to one of the flip blocks and jump to send them falling into the lava below.

Blue Coin Bustle

After leaving and returning to Fort Flaptrap, you’ll find a blue button you can ground pound at the front of the island - this will start a timed event to collect every blue coin you can find as quickly as possible.

Show's Over, Cat Magikoopas

Similar to the first Cat Shine on this island, once you leave and come back after the second shine, you can return to the lava arena to find a group of 6 Magikoopas causing havoc. They all will shoot slow projectiles and teleport around, so be aggressive and chasing after them and using an offensive power up to catch them before they teleport somewhere else.

Defeat them all, and the Cat Shine is yours.

Five Cat Shine Shards

This Cat Shine can be obtained at any point while exploring Fort Flaptrap, but you’ll need to track down each of the red shard coins to find this Shine.

1: This Cat Shine can be obtained at any point while exploring Fort Flaptrap, but you’ll need to track down each of the red shard coins to find this Shine.

2: The second shard is located just behind the lighthouse on the far side of the arena.

3: The third can be found on the beach to the right, over on the south side of the island between two trees.

4: The fourth shard is located on the southeastern tip of the island, just past a group of fury blocks, on top of a tree.

5:

The final shard is hiding in a tricky location along the outer northern wall along the beach. You’ll need to look for two tiny breakable blocks in the wall and destroy them (koopa shells or Cat Mario’s swipes can help), then crawl in to find the final piece.

Blast the Fury Blocks

This Cat Shine can be obtained at any point as you explore Fort Flaptrap, but you will need the help of Fury Bowser to actually unlock it.
