And there are some fun twists on the gimmick. You will need to quickly navigate the mazes to collect all the blue coins in your second game. In the third part, you will have to go through the glass pipes instead of going through them. If you're struggling to get through a particular part of this level and need a few tips, check out the full guide below.

100% Pipe Path Tower Completion Guide | All the cat shines and the cat parts
Cat Piece # 1: At the start of the level, there is a mini-maze of transparent pipes to go through. Go down the pipe in the back center of the maze to reach this room.
Cat Piece # 2: Next, you'll travel through glass pipes with two Fire Bros trying to hit Mario. After exiting the pipes, look back and you will see the cat's coin floating above the pipes. Jump on top and grab it!
Cat Piece # 3: At the start of the third glass pipe path, don't miss this easily visible piece! Just go through the center of the pipe path.
Cat Piece # 4: Continuing to the area with spikes blocking the pipe paths, look at the center foreground.
Cat Piece # 5: On top with the lighthouse, bring a fire flower and turn on Mario to throw fireballs at the spikes blocking the rear right glass pipe. Enter and you will get the last cat shard.
Chat Shine # 1: Collect the 5 cat coins to earn this shard.
Chat Shine # 2: Simply join the lighthouse at the end of the level.
Chat Shine # 3: Bowser blocks can be found on the left side of the main tower (from the cat ears front door) - they will only appear after you complete the level once and remove the black grime on the left side of the area.
Chat Shine # 4: It's another bustle of the blue room. Take your time and make sure to collect all the blue coins in the glass pipes - it's okay to screw up a few times, you will still have enough time to get them all. The only tricky game is the last set in the Fire Bros. zone. To get them all, go through the pipes and go around, then go through the outlet pipe with two coins. If you enter the outlet pipe first, you will not be able to get back into the glass pipe in time. Save that for the end.
Chat Shine # 5: Another Shine Shrine! Reach the lighthouse, then descend into the area to the left (facing the lighthouse) where there were previously spikes and arrow blocks. The key is on a small platform under the glass pipes. You'll have to walk on the glass pipes to get back to the entrance - go around the back of the tower to get there. Yes, you have to take the long road. Bowser Jr. can help defeat the Fire Bros at the start of the level. Try to line up your camera from above to make it easier to navigate the glass pipes.
