Sandbars[1] also referred to as sand tides,[2] are objects that act as both obstacles and platforms in Super Mario World. They are rectangular sand structures with distinct triangular shapes on their top that vary in roles, being commonly used as rising/descending platforms that can help the player reach some objects, but most of the time can crush them to death similar to Shifting walls or sometimes block their path, causing the moving screen to kill them. They first appear in Donut Plains 2 and reappear in Valley of Bowser 2.
