Template:Item-infobox 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 poles and trees. From the top, the player can pull backwards, and aim with it and . When is released, Mario will be sent flying forwards, and once he touches the ground, he will automatically dash for a short amount of time.
Cat Flingers are scattered across Lake Lapcat idly, but some are placed consecutively to help reach a Cat Shine. To complete the mission "Gazing over the Falls", Mario must fling from Cat Flinger to Cat Flinger to reach an island in the sky. To complete "Cuddly Castaway", he must use Cat Flingers to reach and rescue Banktoad.
Cat Flingers can also appear on top of every 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 Poles and Checkpoint Flags.
Boomerang Mario can throw a boomerang at a Cat Flinger to make it sway back and forth for a brief moment; the amount it sways is dependent on whether the boomerang hits the Cat Flinger's base, center, or top.[1]
