Pounce Bounce Isle

Pounce Bounce Isle is an island in Bowser's Fury.

Cat Shines:

Make the Lighthouse Shine

This Shine will be a standard run that is a good overview of the island overall. You’ll likely want to have the Super Bell power up to help you get around the tall walls of this area.

Hurry! Jump High, Jump Fast!

After leaving and returning to Pounce Bounce Isle once you’ve claimed the first Shine, you’ll find a row of arrows pointing towards a purple button you can ground pound to start a timed course.

Key to the Cat Shine

Once you leave and return to Pounce Bounce Isle after claiming the second Cat Shine, you’ll find a large blue cage holding the Cat Shine, and you’ll have to find the key hidden somewhere on the island.

Five Cat Shine Shards

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

Five Cat Shine Shards: Shard 1

The first shard is located on top of one of the Blockstepper enemies on the first high platform you can jump to on the island. Clear them out with fireballs or boomerangs to isolate it.

Five Cat Shine Shards: Shard 2

Just above the first shard, look along the high walls behind the Blockstepper enemies to find the second shard up top - and use the bounce pads nearby to get some height before jumping over to claim it.

Five Cat Shine Shards: Shard 3

The third shard can be found just after the long slope leading to the second high platform. Look along behind the tall wall here to find a smaller alcove with a pounce bad leading to the shard (also where the key is located for the third Cat Shine.

Five Cat Shine Shards: Shard 4

You can find the fourth shard as you climb the bounce pads up to the highest platform leading to the lighthouse, where the rows of crates are. It’s located floating off to the side, so use a boomerang to safely grab it without having to jump for it.

Five Cat Shine Shards: Shard 5

The final shard can be found right as you reach the lighthouse itself. Turn back the way you came to spot the fifth shard hiding behind the rows of Blocksteppers just below the slope you came down to get to the lighthouse.

Blast the Fury Blocks

Once Bowser appears to torment you, sprint over to the base of the northeast edge of the isle to look around a large pillar where you’ll find a few rows of Fury Blocks below a pounce pad. Lure Bowser into attacking the pillar directly before dashing behind it, and the path to the Cat Shine will be revealed.
