Shifting Sand Land is a desert-based portrait worlds appearing in Super Mario 64 and it's re-make, Super Mario 64 DS. It can be found in the dungeon of the castle, although the entrance to it is disguised as a wall instead of a portrait. This level is called the Shifting Sand Land due to the fact that much of it's ground terrain appears to be a type of quicksand. This course is the first one to have it's entrance disguised as a wall; it is followed by Snowman's Land.
Four Pillars stick out of the ground at different points in the level. Two of these pillars can be reached via sand, while the other two are located in quicksand and have to be reached with the Wing Cap.
The most prominent feature of the level is the great pyramid in the center. Three Power Stars can be found inside the pyramid. One of these is in the possesion of Eyerok an ancient spirit which lives inside the pyramid. Eyerok serves as the boss of the level. To reach him, Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, or Wario has to first stand on top of each of the four pillars that can be found in the Shifting Sand Land.
Other notable locations include a small oasis (consisting of a palm tree, a small pool of water, and one Red Coin) located in the corner of the stage. A stone gazebo can be found near the beggining of the level, under which are two Goombas and on top of which is a Red ! Block. There is also a maze path which rests on top of quick sand and is traveled on by Tox Boxs. This maze is the only way to traverse from the east to the west side of the level.
The level also features the first appearence of Klepto the Condor, (in the Nintendo 64 version this was Klepto's only appearence, although the DS version had him in multiple levels).
The golf course Shifting Sands, which appeared in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour may have been based on this level. Also in the Mario Party 6 mini-game "Pokey Punch-Out" this course appears a long with Klepto in the background, (it is likely that this is the Shifting Sand Land due to the Pokeys in the background being drawn as they were in Super Mario 64 instead of the more recent Super Mario Sunshine).
