'''Fur Step Island''' is the very first island visited in [[Lake Lapcat]], the main location of the ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', visited immediately after [[Mario]] stumbles upon the portal leading to [[Lake Lapcat]]. Its name is a portmanteau of "first step" and "cat fur." It is a long strip of grassy land that contains a shipwrecked [[Airship]] (possibly the same one seen in the credits before Bowser became [[Fury Bowser]]), and is where Mario first comes into contact with Fury Bowser. Though it is the first location of the game, only its first Cat Shine can be collected. The other four Cat Shines and the Cat Shine Shards can only be collected after beating the main story. This island also cannot be revisited until then, as it is surrounded by the black goop and the ledge by the lighthouse is blocked off by an invisible wall.

During the start, [[amiibo]] cannot be scanned, items from the [[item storage]] disappear when the player attempts to use one, and as of version 1.1.0, collecting 100 coins only grants the player a [[Super Mushroom]].

[[Toadette]] also appears near the Airship after the story has been completed and asks Mario to look for the members of the [[Toad Brigade]], who join her here after they are found. After defeating [[Giant Bowser]] at least once, the [[goop]] is removed.

From the start, [[Mario]] must head toward the shipwrecked vessel and have [[Fury Bowser]] destroy a barrage of [[Fury Block]]s leading toward a short set of stairs, where he may then collect the [[Cat Shine]]. Notably, this is the first Cat Shine in the game the player collects, and the only one that can only be collected during the player's first visit.

==Trivia==
*This island is similar to the [[Gateway Galaxy]] from the first ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', as both areas have their very first mission visited upon starting the game, and once [[Mario]] collects the required collectible, he is forbidden from returning to the area until he advances enough in the game.
