'''Lake Lapcat''' is a cat-themed archipelago exclusive to the ''Bowser's Fury'' campaign of ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. During the introductory cutscene of the campaign, [[Mario]] falls through an M-shaped portal made of black [[goop]], which transports him from the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] to Lake Lapcat. It is a colorful, open area primarily inhabited by various colored [[kitten]]s, including calico kittens and [[Neko Parent|their parents]]. To match this theming around cats, nearly all of the elements of Lake Lapcat, including signs, archways, trees, shrubs, flowers, rainbows, and even the sun, include feline features such as fur, tails, and cat ears. Additionally, cat-themed variations of [[little bird]]s, as well as [[List of enemies|enemies]] and bosses that appear in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' campaign, can be found throughout the area with the same modifications. However, all of these cat-like enemies function identically across both campaigns, with the exception of [[Cat Goomba]]s, which are darker and do not dive. Despite this, [[Cat Bullet Bill]]s retain their homing functionality.

Lake Lapcat is entirely surrounded by black goop that Mario and [[Bowser Jr.]] must work to remove throughout the course of the campaign by collecting [[Cat Shine]]s. In the middle of the lake is the [[Fury Sun]], a large mass of black goop that protects [[Fury Bowser]] while he is not active. When Fury Bowser becomes active, the clear daytime sky changes to nighttime during an intense rainstorm, and he shoots [[Disaster Spike]]s that plunge into the ground and walls, becoming platforms that Mario can [[jump]] on and traverse areas differently with. While collecting a Cat Shine during Fury Bowser's rampages forces him to retreat, he can only be directly battled through a [[power-up]] unique to Lake Lapcat, the [[Giga Bell]]. Three Giga Bells can be found on large pedestals across the archipelago, each of which correspond to a set of four islands that share a similar visual theme.
