Talk:Sand tide

Others?

Platforms with extremely similar function appear in some of the Yoshi's Island and I think New Super Mario Bros. games (they're ostensibly not sand - although I'm not sure if the Super Mario World one was really supposed to be despite the name we have); however, it may be better placed here than in the Cascading Stone article, though that may mean renaming the article to "Sliding Block". Thoughts? LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:53, July 21, 2023 (EDT)

I'm thinking more of this being a type of moving wall as seen in World 7-Tower (New Super Mario Bros.) and #2 Morton's Castle from Super Mario World. However, I can't find an article related to moving obstacles designed to crush players. Mario^-HOHO! (Talk / Stalk) 04:14, July 23, 2023 (EDT)

Split?

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

I think both objects are sufficiently different and unrelated to have separate pages. Are we sure the Super Mario World thing can be considered at least liquid or sand-like? Besides, the page is bad in its current state. Sorbetti (talk) 18:14, October 3, 2025 (EDT)

"{{conjectural merge}}" could work instead if we don't have a usable name for the Super Mario Galaxy thing. LinkTheLefty (talk) 18:18, October 3, 2025 (EDT)

I don't think SMW's "falling layer 2" effect, which returns in NSMBW in the form of purple gem platforms, should be considered the same as the moving sand in Galaxy. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 18:30, October 3, 2025 (EDT)

Sliding Stones are pretty much the same idea as the Super Mario World / New Super Mario Bros. Wii objects, though I'm unsure if putting all that here would need a new proposal. As for Super Mario Galaxy, I did spot an instance of "moving sand" in the Prima guide - maybe "moving sand (Dusty Dune Galaxy)"? LinkTheLefty (talk) 07:07, October 4, 2025 (EDT)

Moving sand is too ambiguous, I think a conjectural name like Rising sand would be a better choice. Sorbetti (talk) 21:37, October 9, 2025 (EDT)

If a conjectural name is needed, I'd rather keep it under "{{conjectural merge}}" anyway. The Super Mario Galaxy one is visually different, but functionally similar enough. LinkTheLefty (talk) 10:57, October 10, 2025 (EDT)

In Dusty Dunbe Galaxy, there's a planet where sand rises both down and up. I think a conjectural page that talks about that sand and this one would work and be much better than this page in its current state. Sorbetti (talk) 17:48, November 15, 2025 (EST)
