At the bottom of its rail is a hole that leads to a secret room where the boss of the level, Eyerok, sleeps. If the player enters through the secret entrance on the top of the pyramid, they are brought to a fenced lift that moves down through the center of the pyramid. At the center of the pyramid's base is a large sand pit that restricts the player's jumping ability and acts as quicksand. Halfway up the pyramid is a Spinning Heart, which the player can use to recover any lost health. These obstacles include Grindels, large gaps, Amps, moving platforms, a Spindel, and a hanging grate the player can grab and swing across. The right path leads to the top of the pyramid, where the player has to go through several obstacles to reach the top.

The left path leads to a 1-Up Mushroom and a Grindel that hops across the platform and can help the player reach another 1-Up Mushroom. Upon entering the pyramid, the player is dropped into a short hall that leads to either a left or a right path. Additionally, if the player loses a life and reenters the level, they are brought back into the pyramid without having to go through the main course again, provided the life lost does not result in a Game Over. If the player enters the pyramid, they cannot return to the main course. If all four of the pillars have been stood upon, the top of the pyramid explodes and opens up a new entrance. After the quicksand with a tornado is a ramp to the pyramid's entrance, with the exterior of the pyramid having twoВ ! orВ ? Blocks, along with a ring of steps that lead to the top of the pyramid. Mario, Yoshi, Luigi, and Wario can run up the sides of the pillars despite them being smooth and near-vertical surfaces. South of the oasis are two of the four stone pillars situated around the pyramid, with the other two on the other corners of the pyramid. A warp point is placed under the palm tree and leads to the aforementioned cannon and red block. To the right are a cannon and a redВ ! Block/ ? Block, and to the left is an oasis with a Bob-omb Buddy next to it. Beyond the stone structure is a maze-like path constructed out of stone blocks over a pool of quicksand with three Tox Boxes flipping around the paths. Near this stone structure are a number of circular quicksand pits: one with a 1-Up Mushroom hovering over the top, and one that spawns a tornado if the player approaches. Up ahead are some Bob-ombs, a Fly Guy, a Pokey, and some Goombas, all around a stone structure containing a few blocks underneath and a red and yellow ! Block on top. The player starts on a stone slab in the sand next to some sand dunes and a Crazed Crate.

Klepto the Condor circles the course and attempts to steal the player's cap if he gets near. The course has several sand dunes, quicksand, and an ancient pyramid in the center. The entrance to the level is in the Mushroom Castle's basement, disguised as a wall at the end of the hall to the left of the painting into Lethal Lava Land. Its name may be a reference to the 'Shifting Sands,' one of the magical, impassable deserts that surround the Land of Oz in L. Shifting Sand Land is an ancient Egyptian-based course and the eighth course appearing in Super Mario 64 and its remake, Super Mario 64 DS.
