The '''Sand Kingdom''' is the third kingdom visited in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. It is the greater location of '''Tostarena''', which is a desert village featuring a small town and a large ruins area. This kingdom's main landmark is the Inverted Pyramid, which is an upside-down pyramid located in the north-east section of the area. When Mario first visits here, the kingdom is covered with large pillars of ice and [[Bowser]] is found atop the Inverted Pyramid. The player's first objective in this kingdom is to reach the "highest tower". From there, the player must find [[Moon Shard]]s in the sand. After that, they reach the top of the Inverted Pyramid and fight [[Hariet]], one of the [[Broodals]], which will grant the player a [[Multi Moon]]. When collected, the player is teleported back to the Odyssey, and the kingdom cycles to a night-time version, where the Inverted Pyramid floats into the air, revealing a large hole underneath. The kingdom is also overrun by [[Chincho]]s during the night-time, which Mario must avoid as he heads to the large hole under the Inverted Pyramid. Once the player enters, he must traverse through an icy Underground Temple and then fight [[Knucklotec]] at the end of the Temple. Defeating this boss rewards Mario with another Multi Moon, which (when collected) reverts the kingdom back to daytime and causes almost all the ice on the surface of the kingdom to melt, allowing access to more Power Moons. Once Mario has collected enough Power Moons, he can head off to the next kingdom - either the [[Lake Kingdom]] or the [[Wooded Kingdom]] may be chosen, but not both at this point.

The Sand Kingdom was the first location shown in the game, dating back to the first [[Nintendo Switch]] reveal trailer. It is located east of the [[Cascade Kingdom]], southwest of the Lake Kingdom, and northwest of the Wooded Kingdom. These three kingdoms are all located on a large landmass resembling Pangaea.
 
The location is primarily based off of {{wp|Mesoamerica}}, particularly {{wp|Mexico}}. However, other aspects allude to different countries, with [[Moe-Eye]]s inspired by the {{wp|moai|moai statues}} from {{wp|Easter Island}} and the [[Jaxi]]s presumably inspired by the {{wp|komainu}} from [[Japan]]. The name "Tostarena" is probably derived from the Spanish words ''tostado'' (meaning "toasted on") and ''arena'' (meaning sand).
The location is primarily based off of {{wp|Mesoamerica}}, particularly {{wp|Mexico}}. For example, [[Tostarenan]]s feature elements associated with {{wp|Día de los Muertos}}, and the [[Inverted Pyramid]] resembles an upside down octagonal version of the {{wp|Chichén Itzá}}.

Tostarena Town is a small civilization found just north of the Odyssey's landing site. It is home to a [[Crazy Cap]] and a [[Slots]] minigame. [[Talkatoo]] and [[Luigi]] can be found here. A Tostarenan eventually sets up [[spark pylon|power lines]] that Mario can use as a shortcut to the top of the Inverted Pyramid. The Checkpoint Flag is at the town's southern entrance next to a [[Jaxi]] station.

Mario may reach the top of the arch via [[Bullet Bill]] or spark pylon to find a Power Moon on top of it. In front of the ruins entrance is a [[Jaxi]] station.

This Checkpoint Flag is found on the platform shortly after the Tostarena Ruins Entrance, starting off the second level of the ruins. Aside from the Checkpoint Flag, there are a few signs directing toward the sand geysers up ahead, a bump in the ground that Mario may [[Ground Pound]] to unearth a circle of [[coin]]s, and a small group of coins circling a chunk of ice. Later on, [[Goombette]] appears on this platform, overlooking the area just below. Mario must bring a [[Goomba Tower]] of reasonable size over to her to receive a Power Moon. Aside from this, there are not many other Power Moons next to the sand pillar, though there are quite a few surrounding it. The area below this platform has a [[Bullet Bill]] cannon, which serves as helpful for finding and collecting some of these Power Moons.

[[File:SMO Sand Moon 1.png|thumb]]
[[File:SMO Sand Moon 1.png|thumb|Mario in front of the checkpoint atop the round tower.]]
This tower is the highest point of Tostarena Ruins. It is crucial to the Sand Kingdom's first story mission, [[Atop the Highest Tower]], as reaching the top of it is the goal. When Mario makes it to the end of the ruins, he must enter an [[8-Bit Pipe]] leading to an 8-bit section around the side of the tower. Mario must make his way up the tower while avoiding [[Bullet Bill]]s. A small group of [[regional coin]]s can be found in a secret alcove down below, with a Power Moon in another hidden alcove left of the [[lift]]s near the top of the tower. Once Mario does make it out of the 8-bit section and on top of the tower, he finds a [[Checkpoint Flag]] and a Power Moon he must collect to complete this mission. From here, Mario must head to the Moe-Eye Habitat for the next objective.

The Moe-Eye Habitat is an isolated area west of Tostarena Ruins with a pool of poison in the middle. Several pillars are sticking out of the ground.

The Checkpoint Flag for this region is, as its name suggests, placed in the far northwestern portion of the map, in front of a building containing a maze with poison and [[Bullet Bill]]s, the end of which leads to the roof via a [[Warp Pipe]]. In front of the building, Mario may also find a Jaxi station (with two [[New Donker]]s sitting on its bench after the story is completed) and the leader of the [[Roving Racers]]. Behind the building is a small alcove with three [[regional coin]]s.

Unlike in other bonus areas, collecting the key does not interrupt gameplay to show the [[locked panel]] opening the Power Moon, instead causing it to open immediately; this is likely to prevent the player from losing control with the Rocket Flowers and falling off the level.

{{main|Secret of the Inverted Pyramid}}
A new level inspired by the Sand Kingdom appears in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] and [[Nintendo Switch]] versions of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', which features miniature versions of the Tostarena Ruins, Inverted Pyramid and ice cave. [[Bullet Bill]]s and [[Goomba]]s appear as enemies in the level. A [[Pull Switch]] can be found on top of the Inverted Pyramid which causes it to rise from the ground and turn the level to nighttime.

In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', [[Toad]]'s backpack has three pins on it that have the designs of stickers from ''Super Mario Odyssey'', with one of them being based on the Tostarena sticker. Additionally, the Sand Kingdom itself, known as the '''Desert Area''',<ref>{{file link|TSMBM Monopoly Board.jpg|Monopoly ''The Super Mario Bros. Movie'' Edition board}}</ref> can be seen on a map showing areas surrounding the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and is later shown in the film for a few seconds during a montage of [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], and [[Toad]] journeying to the [[Donkey Kong Island|Jungle Kingdom]]. [[Stone-Eye]]s can be seen in the area. Unlike its version in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', which has only one pyramid with a hexagonal base, this version features multiple square pyramids in the sky.
