Crisp Climb Castle Cat Shine Shards

No. How to Get
1 The fist shard is in the air above the first rotating platform tower. You need the Propeller Box to be able to get high enough to get it.

3 Continue going up the second rotating platform tower until you reach the top area with an arrow pointing to the right. Instead of going right, move up to your left to find a hidden area and the third shard.
4 Follow the regular path again along the windmill-like rotating platforms. Instead of going up to the wooden ledge above, go straight towards the end of the second windmill platform to find the next shard ahead. You will likely fall all the way to the ground doing this.
5 Before going back up, be sure to have a Propeller Box with you. Go back up to the first set of windmill-like platforms and take the regular path this time by going up the wooden ledge.

No. How to Get

Watch out for the enemy rolling down spiked logs on your left and follow it up. Take out the enemy and grab the second Cat Shine Shard above.
3 Afterwards, you should see another enemy in the distance rolling spiked logs to your left again. Run towards him while avoiding the logs and take him out. Face left toward the stack of boxes to reveal another invisible path and just beyond it is an invisible wall that you can climb in cat form to the third Cat Shine Shard just above.
4 From where you got the third shard, jump down on to the stack of boxes below and do a ground pound to land on another invisible path. Follow it as it turn to the left (just above the circular platform below from before) and you should reveal an invisible tower-like structure that you can climb up to to get the fourth shard on your left.

Roiling Roller Isle Cat Shine Shards

No. How to Get
1 The first shard is found on the first blue rotating machine platform by moving to the middle section (where you can find a C-shaped part that comes down very close to the lava. You can choose to stand on the C-shaped part or simply jump down on to the shard to get it. Whatever method you use, you will end up on a white platform after grabbing the shard. Wait for the C-shaped part to come around again to get back on the blue rotating platform.
2 The second shard is also on this same platform. Walk up to the far end of the rotating platform near the edge and you should see the shard.
