They appear in many [[Super Mario Sunshine#Secret courses|secret courses]]. If [[Mario]] walks over sand blocks, they collapse and disappear, then reappear after a certain amount of time. Their function is similar to that of the [[shrinking platform]]s that are later found in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and the 3D version of the [[Donut Block]]s as they appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Similar blocks make up the body of the [[Sand Bird]]; however, these do not collapse when Mario walks on them.
