Sand blocks are a type of object which first appear in Donkey Kong for the Game Boy.

Description[]

Sand blocks are cubes made up of several grains of sand. If Mario stands on a sand block, it begins to slowly dissolve. In the Game Boy game Donkey Kong and Mario vs. Donkey Kong, a sand block does not reappear after dissolving. In the latter, sand blocks serve essentially the same function as in the former game except they collapse faster. In Super Mario Sunshine, a sand block respawns after a while.

In Donkey Kong (Game Boy)[]

In Stage 8-2, there is a group of Chikuchiku underneath the sand blocks, one between each set of walls.

Stage 9-7 is made nearly entirely out of sand blocks.

In Super Mario Sunshine[]

Sand blocks can be found in several of the secret courses.
