'''Cat Shine Shards''' are collectibles found exclusively in the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. They essentially resemble a less complex version of a [[Cat Shine]], being red, shaped like a cat's head, and rimmed with gold. However, they lack the pointed decorations along the outside, and the cat-like facial features are depicted as barely-visible indents, as opposed to being gold as well.

Cat Shine Shards are collectibles found exclusively in the Bowser's Fury campaign of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. They are smaller, less complex versions of Cat Shines, being red, shaped like a cat's head, and rimmed with gold, but lacking pointed decorations and gold facial features.

The fourth mission of each of the twelve major islands across Lake Lapcat is titled "Five Cat Shine Shards". As the name suggests, when Mario enters an area with this mission active, five Cat Shine Shards will be hidden throughout the island, sometimes out in the open but sometimes hidden in alcoves. If either Mario, Mario riding Plessie, or Bowser Jr. comes in contact with a Cat Shine Shard, it will be collected and displayed on the bottom of the screen, in relation to its position, with shards found earlier in the obstacle courses being placed more to the left. Cat Shine Shards can also be collected by throwing held objects at them, such as baseballs, shells, or kittens.

Similarly to Moon Shards from Super Mario Odyssey, or Silver Stars from Super Mario 64 DS and the Super Mario Galaxy games, collecting all five of them will make a Cat Shine appear, and collecting the Cat Shine will complete the mission. After the respective mission has been completed, Cat Shine Shards will no longer be present on the island.
