Quicksand appears in varying types in [[Shifting Sand Land]], a course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Most of it will pull Mario down to around the waist (though the sand at the bottom of the pyramid's interior is deep enough that it will defeat Mario if he stands in it for too long), 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. The ivy in [[Tall, Tall Mountain]] and the [[Piranha Flower]]s' turf in [[Tiny-Huge Island]] behave similarly to the mild type; however, they are shallow enough that they only impede Mario's jumping.

Apparently, the hexagonal pits of quicksand in Shifting Sand Land were created by {{wp|antlion}}s.<ref>{{cite|author=Motomiya, Shusuke (One Up),Yasuhiro Nemoto, Hideki Endo, Yuta Naoi, and Noriko Tsuyuki, editors|title=『スーパーマリオ64完全クリアガイド』|date=1996|language=ja|location=Tokyo|publisher=Media Factory|isbn=4-88991-411-0|page=64, 65}}</ref>
