Ranking Every Cat Shine in Bowser's Fury

with 100 cat shines and bowser's fury i thought it'd be fun to go through all of them and figure out which are the easiest and which are the hardest this list is based on how challenging a cat shine can be as well as the steps it requires to get one i've decided to not use bowser jr at all as that would skew my results for some shines and obviously no invincibility bell either but with that said let's get her ranked 100 junior's graffiti gratitude after beating the final boss the ship you start the game on has a brand new question mark chalk all you do is tell about your junior to draw on it and you get a star so it's virtually no effort and it's an adorable picture too now look i know i said i wasn't going to use pause your junior but i literally only use them here because i have to use them for the shine 99 lost kin by the shore this mama kitty is mighty upset that her cat is missing although it's literally like 20 feet away so thanks for the shine i guess 98 go with the flow some glaciers form out of the water and you have to stand on one for a while to get this shine i hope you're a fan of waiting 97 climb to the shine what's funny is i'm actually getting this shine the hard way normally you just use the cat wheel to make the platform go up but you can also use plessy or just jump from the top of pounce bounce to get it 96. toad brigade lost leader in order to save captain toad and get a shine from him just to feed all the bitty buds the harmless barely threatening bitty buds 95. toad brigade stuck under the slope while a bit hard to find actually getting to toad requires a single jump and you don't even need to be that accurate 94 gazing down at the islands you'll run in a straight line with some boos speeding you up there's a chance of you falling but even then you can easily get back up 93 gazing over the falls it's virtually the same thing but you take these sweet slinky springs instead it's more fun but also a bit more risky 92 first step island make the lighthouse shine fury bowser will rain spikes into a ship and breathe fire but it's pretty easy to avoid if you just pay attention the shine is sitting atop some stairs setting the tone for the whole game 91 risky whisker island blast the fury blocks i hope you're ready to hear about every single fury block mission because all the shines are a slice of cake risky whiskers being the easiest because you can avoid bowser's flames entirely if you just stand behind the blocks 90. tricketty tower blasts the fury blocks you guessed it bowser breathes fire on more blocks although this time there's slightly less space to avoid getting hit as if that would ever be an issue but you know i'm trying to rank these after all 89 first step island blast the fury blocks so i suppose mario has even less space now because of the water on the side yeah i don't know we're getting really deep here 88 fort flap trap blast the fury blocks okay so this time the blocks are more buried into the ground but that literally doesn't matter since it's enough to defend yourself 87 scamper shores blast the fury blocks for the first time ever you can't hide behind the blocks but you can hide behind the spikes which i didn't do because i'm only just realizing you can do this as i'm writing the script so yay 86 claw swipe coliseum blast the fury blocks look familiar well it's exactly like scamper shores including the safety spikes but now there's water which is harder to go in 85 roiling roller isle blast the fury blocks this is identical to cloth swipe besides less coverage and there's more water surrounding you 84. mount magmeow blast the fury blocks there's still ground but this time it's caked in a thin layer of water trying to hide it truly a groundbreaking achievement in game design miyamoto 83 crisp climb castle blast the fury blocks that's right it's ground but it's slip the ice is annoying i guess but not really an issue 82 slip skate slope lasts the fury blocks yep so there's an island like usual but it's not underneath the bowser block this time honestly i just like the cat hieroglyphs they look pretty cool 81 pounds bounce aisle blast the fury blocks so this one has bad spike defense and you can use a spring to get the shine which is unnecessary if you have the catsuit 80 pipe path tower blast the fury blocks finally the last fury block shine again there's no water and almost no spike coverage 79 spin scramble shine this is another one of those catwheel and climb shines but now there's actual water in the way so your movement has to be rather spiffy 78 cold cave combat this purple switch either creates an obstacle course or a lot of not so friendly foes it's just an enemy gauntlet this one with goombas and a couple piranha plants even without items it's nothing to meow over 77 surprise prize fight in the middle of nowhere is another enemy gauntlet this one with goombas spike and a coin coffer and what's great is spike will often hit the goombas helping you out so thanks bro 76 bully the cat bullies two wrongs don't make a right but you don't even need to touch the bullies i usually just jump in the flipping panels take care of them for me 75 shows over cat magikoopas oh wow it's the same area but now there's cat wizards they're slightly harder to take out but it's still apparently a struggle 74. pounce bounce aisle lucky shine they're technically labeled as first second third fourth or fifth shines but naming them by location is easier to remember you just kind of do a small jump in that tip 73 slip skate slope lucky shine this is another super easy jump the only difference is slipskate's slope is slightly harder to get to 72 roiling roller isle lucky shine there is not much to add besides that the jump to reach it is a little more challenging 71 hurry swim and slide with plessy you slide around on some rams and boost this is by far the easiest one to complete in fact you don't even need this ramp like i'm using now 70. scan for shores make the lighthouse shine it's the first area you'll go to it is one of the smallest islands just make a few jumps here and there and you're good 69 pounce bounce aisle make the lighthouse shine there is indeed a lot of bouncing say about 15 spring jumps later you'll get to the end 68 pounce bounce aisle key to the cat shine what's interesting about getting the key here is just how close it is to the cage you only have to play about halfway through the aisle and jumping down safely takes very little planning 67 fort flap trap five cat shine shards a couple of the shards are tricky to find but for the most part they're easy to grab 66. fort flat trap blue coin bustle while the blue coins are on a time limit it's extremely generous you can move slowly and make mistakes while still getting all the coins 65 pounds bounce aisle 5 cat shine shards you'll probably get these as you're going for the lighthouse shine there's only a couple that are out of the way 64. scamper shores five cat shine shards besides the sharp trapped inside this rock in this wooden box area most of them don't take that much effort to get 63. hurry dash and dive for what's supposed to be a speedy level you really don't have to go that fast just don't bump into the wood gates and you'll get it 62. hurry jump high jump fast this is another speed shine that has a generous timer you can also fall into the water and stumble while still getting the shine 61. clash with cat boom boom it's the mad lad but now with some sass and cat ears his patterns are the same as regular 3d world so fighting him is a breeze 60. cat pom-poms counter-attack now it's the mad lass she's just as easy as boom boom if not easier since her attacks start up slower 59 final bout with cat boom boom but this time the floor has spikes well kind of they pop up in columns and you just have to avoid them 58 pipe path tower lucky shine so you're supposed to use a ramp to get this shine but i kind of try harder and barely nab the edge with the catsuit 57 dash and smash in the clouds after climbing the trees you run around in the clouds and have to destroy every bitty bud for a shine 56 bounce and trounce in the clouds another cloud level but the path is a bit more complex with bounce pads it's harder to hit biddy buds but you can usually go back if you miss any 55 so close yet so far an entire tower that is invisible and actually fun to navigate i don't know how they pulled that off but getting the main shine here isn't too bad 54. trickety tower 5 cat shine charts this is essentially the same thing but you'll explore different parts of the tower for pieces 53. feasting on fuzzies plant boy gotta eat so you'll snack on some fuzzies that have invaded the island you do have to be careful to not fall but otherwise it's a fun romp 52 risky whisker island 5 cat shine shards there is like one tricky shard to get high in the air but the rest of them are more than obtainable 51. scamper shore is key to the cat shine getting this key to the cage isn't quite as simple as you'd think falling in the water forces you to retry so you have to go backwards in order to get to the cage 50. slippery skirmish this is another enemy fight but this time you're on ice and have to destroy snowman and some cheap cheaps they take longer to hit but if you're careful you'll be fine 49. footprint free-for-all there are a lot more enemies to worry about than normal including the bees and some hammer bros but you've also got pal blocks to help out which makes this pretty manageable 48 jump and thump in the clouds yet another cloud stage but the jumps are slightly harder to time especially when going fast and you can't really go back and get missing bitty buds either 47. pipe path tower blue coin bustle there are a ton of coins to get for this one but most of them are in pipes with semi-decent routing you'll get them without much trouble 46. pipe path tower make the lighthouse shine it's practically the exact same mission but there's enemies to avoid and you go to the top 45 pipe path tower 5 cat shine shards and this is just like the lighthouse one but there's some shards to grab only a couple are in tricky spots 44. pipe path tower key to the shine you'll climb up and simply jump down with a key i think you could also take pipes if you want but i like the swag strats more 43. hurry steer the switchboards while it looks short the switchboards don't move very fast so you do have to scurry a good amount to make it on time 42. toad brigade cuddly castaway the whole premise of the shine is just hilarious i have to make very careful jumps with the slinky springs or i'm basically dead then i take the shine from green toad and just leave him there afterwards sorry buddy maybe next time 41 shining on a hidden aisle timing the jump over bowser's goo can be a bit precise but otherwise the shine is just vibing waiting for your presence 40. trickety tower blue coin bustle the path is similar to the lighthouse mission but you're just getting coins as fast as you can and it's really satisfying for some reason 39. hurry slide through the sky it's more sliding with plessy but the path to take is a bit more difficult 38 hurry slip to the shine oh wouldn't you guess it more sliding with plessy but the path is almost entirely in the air now crazy 37 first step island five cat shine shards some of these pieces are in pretty hidden spots but none of them are terribly hard to grab especially since first step is such a small island 36 claw swipe coliseum five cat shine shards and this is quite the opposite the cash charts are heavily spread some of them in plain sight while others take quite a while to reach 35. hurry fly through the frost this shine relies heavily on the propeller box and your jumps need to be pretty perky there isn't much room for error on this one 34 on the floodgates edge and it really is on the edge with a few scary jumps you'll find yourself a nice little shine it is pretty way out of the reach hence why it's higher on this list 33 slip skate slope make the lighthouse shine we do be slipping on that slope there's a ton of obstacles to worry about on the way down but if you use the shoe you'll probably be fine 32 ruins rabbit place tag these are incredibly enjoyable to complete it really comes down to just learning the route and going fast 31. sure side rabbit place tag it's the same thing but the route is a little bit trickier seeing as you have to go through parts of pound's bounce 30 lake rabbit plays tag with this one there's still a lot of things to run into that can slow you down what a rascal he be 29 crisp climb castle lucky shine this is the only spot where getting to the shine can be annoying you basically have to have a propeller box and also hope that you don't get hit by any flames or you just won't make the jump 28. wasteland rabbit place tag the only difference with this rabbit mission is that there's lava near you and lava is not our friend it never will be 27. fury shadow by the shore now yes you can kind of cheese the fury shadow fights with plessy but this list is based off how they're actually supposed to be done and chasing around the fury shadow can take some time if you're not used to his spots 26. fury shadow on deck the ground may be more flat than scamper shores but luigi's running patterns are much harder than before he'll walk on the edges of the ship and even the cannons on the side 25. back off cat prince bully we've made it to mount magmao shines with this one ending with a cat prince bully fight the fight itself functions the same as normal but the path to getting there can be scary as there's instant death everywhere 24. atop mount magmeow the switchboards changed up and now you simply climb to the top of the mountain this and prince bully could be swapped depending on how good you are at the fights 23 toad brigade hot pursuit you climbed the mountain again but on the other side is a poor toad guy being tortured by a cat door why you got to do that man huh 22 hurry climb the falls the difficulty really depends on if you have the cat suit or not if you have one this will be easier but without one you have a lot more climbing to do which isn't that easy to do in 20 seconds 21. fury shadow hops to it maybe i just played this shine out of order but if you fall going for fury shadow at any point that's the end you aren't recovering that makes this much more anxiety driven than you'd expect 20. gazing down at lava so you have to not only climb mount magnow again but you must have a catsu and a bit of patience the shine is floating on an island that moves around and you basically just have to wait for it to come to you 19. slip skate slope 5 cat shine shards the challenge really starts to pick up from here some of these cat shards are high in the air and require good jumps to get to and oftentimes the shards are on conveyors with spikes surrounding them 18. hurry watch your step it's another one of those climb up the blocks missions but the timer now is fairly strict you also have to navigate invisible platforms at a really speedy pace 17. plessy metal catcher on top of the plessy rings are these medals you basically have to grab a medal before the next one appears and what makes these challenging is that you'll often have to hop off plessy and run on foot then immediately get back on plessy to make it before the time runs out 16. plessy metal collector this is the same idea except this time you'll need to run around on scamper shores which is more hilly 15. whirling roller isle make the lighthouse shine this is probably the only island that i don't find very fun to play everything is rotating and one wrong jump is lava for mario's bump 14. whirling roller isle key to the catch sign you climb up the aisle and then you go straight back down it's not that bad with a tanooki 2 it's just really easy to slip up 13. plessy metal master now you have to worry about running into bowser's goo which if plessy touches it then he just poofs away you'll also have to go into the wasteland and really book it as this timer is not very friendly 12. crisp climb castle make the lighthouse shine i'm surprised this isn't one of the final islands because it's by far the most extravagant and difficult now obviously with the propeller box you can get around it but if you get hit or slip up you basically have to try all over again 11. slip skate slope key to the cat shine your key is at the bottom and you have to climb all the way back to the top the only way to do that without losing the key is to cling on to the sides and jump off very narrow slants 10. lost kittens in the wasteland how this mother manages to lose all five of her kittens is beyond me but we have to of course find them for her and they are all over the place too it's not that hard per se just very very time consuming 9. fury shadow on ice chasing down a fury's shadow while slipping around is not as convenient as one would hope he hops from ice chunk to ice junk and it can be hard to keep up with him 8. plessy metal mania this final plessy medal forces us on ice halfway through you can only imagine how that goes while also trying to blaze it with a really tight timer 7. crisp climb castle 5 cat shine shards these shards are put in some pretty hard places and there's one that's almost impossible to find like who's gonna try flying into this random corner of the ceiling like really six mount magmeow five cat shine shards most of the pieces are hard to reach and are also in hard to find places pair that with a bunch of lava and you have one of the toughest shard missions 5. hurry hot cross run the variant on this obstacle course is leading the rotating platforms you almost have to time exactly when to start the course to complete this 4. hurry hop behind the wall and for this one the floor falls as you run across it plus there's cat bullet bills chasing you down and the paths are super narrow and then on top of that at the end you have to climb over this wall or steer a bullet belt to destroy it three roiling roller aisle five cat shine shards the shards here are just dumb you got one on this invisible cloud one rotating with the platforms and another that has to be busted open with a bobbum or bowser's fire two slip skate slope blue coin bustle i have one word for this shine perturbation the blue coins are in lines and are mostly found in hazardous areas like over spikes or on conveyor belts so you have to have the shoe to get them all on time but it's also really easy to lose your shoe you're basically in for a really hectic nightmare one lost kittens near the ruins we only have to get three kittens for this one but one of them makes this the hardest shine in the game you have to go from crisp climb castle and trek all the way back to the ruins that means sitting on this stupid glacier for a couple minutes and hopping over all the water hoping that you don't slip up because yes if you go into the water at any point the cat disappears and you get to restart and try again this is the only shine in the whole game that i hate getting so yeah none of the shines are particularly difficult outside of a few here and there but i don't think they really need to be the fun in bowser's theory is seeing how quickly you can find and grab every shine which is more than enough for me but anyway thank you all so much for watching and i hope you have a great day until next time [Music]
