'''Spinning Sandstones''', or '''Layer-Cake Desert-6''', is the sixth level of [[Layer-Cake Desert]] in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. The level is unlocked by completing the main exit of [[The Walls Have Eyes]] or [[Stone Spike Conveyors]]. Completing this level will unlock [[Morton's Lava-Block Castle]]. This level is based upon [[Blooming Lakitus]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. The level features several moving platforms, with [[Piranha Plant]]s being the most prominent enemy. This level is the location of the second [[Nabbit]] chase, triggered upon completion of [[Huckit Beach Resort]].

A [[pit]] with five Sand Geysers is then found, along with three Stalking Piranha Plants. A few more rolling hills are encountered, and then a platform with three [[Brick Block]]s and a ? Block above it. After another rolling hill, a [[Lakitu]] throwing [[Piranha Pod]]s appears. More rolling hills, along with Stalking Piranha Plants and a [[Red Ring]], are then encountered. A River Piranha Plant and a [[Big Piranha Plant]] are then found. After a rolling hill, the [[Goal Pole]] is found.
