Fur Step Island

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. Its name is a pun on "first step" and "cat fur". The island 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 the 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.

Cat Shines
Like the other major islands in the game, a total of five unique Cat Shines may be found on Fur Step Island. The first one collected here is the first to be collected in the game, as well as the only one on Fur Step Island which can and must be obtained before the main story has been cleared. The remaining four Cat Shines may be found after this has been accomplished.
