New Super Mario Bros. U: Layer Cake Desert-1 -- Stone-Eye Zone

This desert has quicksand as well as stone statues in the quicksand. The are safe to stand on and sometimes move. We can also stand on the palm trees. There are flying squirrels here. The ? Switch makes coins appear from the sky. Bounce off a stone statue for the first Star Coin. Use a Koopa shell to hit the item block you can't hit for a 1-up. Pound the nearby stone statue for coins. After the midpoint are pillars of sand that appear from below and help you reach things, like item blocks. One of the item blocks has a Fire Flower. If you have an Acorn Mushroom, glide and boost to a green pipe near a palm tree. It will take you to the second Star Coin. Use the P-Switch to get it. The third Star Coin is in the middle of a pillar of sand. Jump down to get it when the sand is not there and the sand pillar will appear to save you. At the end, near the flagpole, is a series of stone statues that you have platform over. The statues will sink and tilt, sometimes before you reach them, so take your time. The flagpole is at the end. This opens the path to a Mushroom House, and Layer Cake Desert-2 and -3.

A rabbit thief appears from the Mushroom House with a sack. Toad says that the thief stole a bunch of stuff from him and that he's fast. The thief runs of to Acorn Plains-1.
