Sand blocks[1][2][3] (orsand-blocks),[4] also calledsand cubes,[5]sandy blocks,[6] orsand stones,[6] are a type ofblock inSuper Mario Sunshine. They come in several sizes and appear in manysecret courses. IfMario walks over sand blocks, they collapse and disappear, then reappear after a certain amount of time. Their function is similar to that of theshrinking platforms that are later found inSuper Mario Galaxy and the 3D version of theDonut Blocks as they appear inSuper Mario 3D Land andSuper Mario 3D World. Similar blocks make up the body of theSand Bird; however, these do not collapse when Mario walks on them.
