  • Quick! Slip into the glow!
    The pier near the Pipe Path Tower has a Plessie ring. Swim through it and go up each ramp. Jump near the edge of each ramp and you will have your Solegatto at the end of the path
  • Lost Kittens in the Wasteland
    Still a somewhat distracted cat mom in the world of Super Mario World 3D. Here's where to find her five puppies:
  • The first kitten is in the area with other cats near Giga Bell
  • Walk in the same direction the Giga Bell is facing and drop off the ledge along the path to find the kitten.
  • Near the entrance gate to Pipe Path Twoer. Jump on Plessie with the lost puppy
  • Go down under the entrance to Risky Whisker Island to find a hole at the base of the wall. Grab the cat then jump to the top of the two blocks on the right. Jump to discover a hidden block and keep doing it until you reach the top of this section
  • Drive Plessie to Mount Magmeow and take the transparent tube that will lead to the area with the lighthouse. Pick up the cat near the tower and follow the green markers to reach Giga Bell Island. Then give all the kittens back to their mother to receive, as a reward, a Solegatto
  • Wasteland Rabbit Plays Tag
    Near the Magmeow mountain there is a small island with a large rabbit. Using Plessie, go after him and hit him to get your next Solegatto
  • Observing the Lava
    Reach the second smaller peak at the top of Mount Magmeow and eventually a giant island will appear. Using Mario in cat form, climb the wall to find a Solegatto at the top
  • Toad Brigade: Hot Pursuit
    It appears after completing the game at least once. Reach the top of Mount Magmeow and head for the smaller peak. Instead of climbing up, look over the ledge to see an area where a blue toad is being harassed by a Conkdor cat. Free him from the hassle to get your own Solegatto
  • Plessie Medal Hunter
    It appears after completing the game at least once. From Rolling Roller Isle go to a small dock and climb up Plessie. Grab the Plessie medal to make another one appear in the distance. Jump to the dock on Giga Bell Island and jump off Plessie to use the red spring to reach the next medal. Then jump to Plessie and collect the remaining medals

Lucky Cut Shines:

These special Solegatti only appear after completing the game at least once and during one of Bowser Furioso's awakening phases. A special golden platform will drop down from above and allow you to get another Solegatto. Here is where these special Solegatti are found:

  • The first of these special Solegatti is located after the entrance to Pounce Bounce Isle: go up the first red spring and reach the area with a single block of bricks. There you will see the first golden island
  • Head to the entrance to the Slipskate slopes and the Golden Island will appear to the left of the cat gate
  • At Crisp Climb Castle, use a Flammable Block and make your way to the first tower. From that point then head to the golden island
  • Head to the long path connected to the Pipe Path Tower, jump onto Plessie and take a ride until you see the Golden Isle in the distance. You will need to use Plessie and a ramp to reach the mainland
  • The last special Solegatto is at Rolling Roller Isle: step on the first green rotating platform and the golden island will appear on your left. Use the Super Leaf to get to your destination and collect the last Solegatto

Congratulations, you have collected all the hidden Solegatti in Super Mario 3D World, title available exclusively for Nintendo Switch and published last 12 February. The game is a remastered version of the title of the same name originally released on Nintendo Wii U on November 29 2013 (in Europe).
