====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Quicksand makes its first ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]''-related appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where it appears in the desert levels. Some of it can be escaped by jumping repeatedly within it; others move faster and act more similar to waterfalls. The player must use log-like bones to travel across this type.
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Quicksand first appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', primarily in {{world-link|2|desert|World 2-Desert}}. The player can sink into it, making moving and jumping more difficult, though continuously sinking causes the player to fall into a pit.

Quicksand reappears in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', behaving the same as ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Some quicksand in the game also leads the player to secret areas instead of leading to a pit.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
Quicksand appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' in the [[Dusty Dune Galaxy]], [[Sand Spiral Galaxy]], and [[Bowser's Galaxy Reactor]], where the deadly type is marked with a skull sign, similar to [[Poisoned Water]]. Milder versions also form rivers and other types of flows in the first of these, and can push Mario around.

Quicksand returns in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', behaving exactly the same as in previous games. The player character is now completely visible in the quicksand, and performing [[Spin Jump]]s causes them to ascend higher through the quicksand.
