Quicksand in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' | Quicksand appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', primarily in {{world-link|2|desert|World 2-Desert}}. The player can sink into it, making moving and jumping more difficult, though continuously sinking causes the player to fall into a pit. | ||

Various types of quicksand appear in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', specifically in [[Shifting Sand Land]]. Most of it will pull Mario down to around the waist, and is a somewhat orange color in comparison to the more yellow regular sand; the dark brown quicksand around the [[Tox Box]] area and the Pyramid, however, will pull Mario down immediately. Large holes also appear in the sand, the middles of which will likewise pull Mario under immediately. All of these varieties return in the remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''; however, the mild type is now visually identical to the normal sand. | |||
