Each level has five Cat Shines. Three Cat Shines can be collected on your first visit to a level: the end-of-level Cat Shine, a Hidden Bowser Block Cat Shine, and a Cat Coin Cat Shine. The latter two do not appear until subsequent level revisions. So you will have to visit the levels at least three times to get all the brilliants. And these Fourth / Fifth Shines always have unique challenges. Sometimes you will have to run through an obstacle course. Sometimes you will have to find a key. In any case, we will explain to you to help you complete them.

Fort Flaptrap 100% Completion Guide | All cats and cat parts
Chat Shine # 1: In the main area of the fort, attract enemies to the blue / red platforms and jump to drop them into the lava. Do it so that all enemies glow.
Cat Piece # 1: At the start you will see several beach platforms that you can use to reach the top of the main area of the fort. There is a cat room at the top right. The platforms flip over every time you jump!
Cat Piece # 2: Behind the lighthouse on the raised part of the fort.
Cat Piece # 3: On the right side of the fort, check the beach for three trees. The room is behind them, near the water.
Cat Piece # 4: At the far back right of the level, you'll find four Bowser blocks. Climb the tree behind the blocks on the beach to get this coin.
Cat Piece # 5: On the left side of the fort, go down to the beach and look for a second breakable block. Hit him and crawl through the small space (Favorite Mario Cat) and you'll find this tricky piece.
Chat Shine # 2: Collect the 5 cat coins to gain shine.
Chat Shine # 3: The last shard is hidden under the Bowser blocks in the right rear shelf. Wait for Bowser to appear and blow up the blocks with his Giga fireball.
Chat Shine # 4: Complete the level to unlock the Blue Coin challenge. Press the blue button at the start to start. Collect each set of blue coins that appears - get all three sets to earn the Cat Shine.
Chat Shine # 5: Complete the previous four shines and level up - now the main area of the fort is filled with magikoopas. Defeat them all to gain this shrine.
