This level is divided into two segments. In the first, the chosen character has to walk through the desert as they avoid traps like quicksand and enemies like [[Cobrat]]s, [[Shy Guy|Shyguy]]s and a [[Panser]].  There are also two [[jar]]s and a [[Magic Potion]]. In both jars, there is a [[Snifit]] and a [[Red Shell]]. In the pyramid, the character has to dig through [[soft sand]] until reaching the bottom while avoiding Shyguys and Snifits. [[Birdo|Pink Birdo]] is fought in a chamber full of chasms.
