Spine Coasters later appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', where they are only found in {{world-link|8|bowser3d|World 8-Bowser: Part 2}} 2. Their design has changed into a broader, three-dimensional figure. The skull has protruding eye sockets and horns, and its maw is wide and blunt (as opposed to the narrow and pointed maw from the ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' design), to match with the coaster's wider figure. This alternate design for the skull somewhat resembles the thumb and bucket of an excavator, as well as the skull of a [[Dry Bones]]. | Spine Coasters later appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]'', where they are only found in {{world-link|8|bowser3d|World 8-Bowser: Part 2}} 2.
