'''Cat Flingers''' are tall blue springs topped by an orange sphere that appear in the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. They allow [[Mario]] to propel himself forwards a great distance. By climbing the blue spring of the Cat Flinger to reach the top, Mario will perform a handstand, similarly to when he climbs [[pole]]s and [[tree]]s. From the top, the player can pull {{button|ns|leftstick}} backwards, and aim with it and {{button|ns|rightstick}}. When {{button|ns|leftstick}} is released, Mario will be sent flying forwards, and once he touches the ground, he will automatically [[dash]] for a short amount of time. While {{button|ns|leftstick}} is pulled back, the player can press {{button|ns|B}} to cancel the action and allow Mario to fall to the ground without being flinged.

Most Cat Flingers are placed consecutively to help reach a [[Cat Shine]]. To complete the mission "Gazing over the Falls", Mario must fling between four Cat Flingers to reach an island in the sky. To complete "Toad Brigade: Cuddly Castaway", he must fling between three Cat Flingers (with an optional one to the side housing a [[Super Bell]] in a [[Bubble]]) to reach and rescue [[Banktoad]]. Additionally, one Cat Flinger is placed near the Ruins [[Giga Bell]], one is on the floating island where the "Gazing Down at the Islands" Cat Shine is collected, and two consecutive Cat Flingers are placed to the northeast of [[Clawswipe Colosseum]].

Cat Flingers can also appear on top of every [[Lighthouse (Bowser's Fury)|lighthouse]] across Lake Lapcat. By collecting the five Cat Shines of an island, a Cat Flinger will appear atop the island's lighthouse and raise a golden flag that has cat ears and Mario's [[emblem]] on it. These flags resemble those of [[Goal Pole]]s and [[Checkpoint Flag]]s.

[[Boomerang Mario]] or [[Fire Mario]] can throw a [[boomerang]] or [[fireball]], respectively, at a Cat Flinger to make it sway back and forth for a brief moment; the amount it sways is dependent on whether the projectile hits the Cat Flinger's base, center, or top.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlOsoly01cA 10 Little Details (Part 3) | Bowser's Fury]</ref>
