'''Sand Canyon - Stage 4''' is the fourth stage of [[Sand Canyon]] in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''.

==Overview==
The stage begins on a dune, where [[Chilly]] makes its first appearance in the game. The path continues down shifting sand slopes. Along the way, [[Rick]], [[Pitch]] or [[Nago]] can be collected to accompany [[Kirby]].

The next area is a sandy cave with lots of spike pits and [[Tick]]s. A [[Pacto]] trap awaits Kirby near the end of this path.

The door leads to an underwater sand tunnel that auto-scrolls to the right. It forks off in several places, with most paths leading to early doorways. If Kirby takes the right route, he will reach the furthest door.

If Kirby took the correct path, he will engage in a fight with [[Haboki]]. From there, all paths lead to a room consisting of three separate tunnels. The middle one (and the one Kirby will end up on if he fought Haboki) has a small child with blue hair named [[Donbe & Hikari|Donbe]] in it. Kirby can pick up Donbe before moving on to the next area.

The following room is a long haul through the dunes at night. Various goodies can be collected from caches if Kirby uses the right ability to open them up. The stage exit can be found at the end of this long path.

In the last room, Kirby meets up with [[Donbe & Hikari|Hikari]]. If he saved Donbe, she will give him a Heart Star.

===Heart Star guide===
[[File:KDL3 Sand Canyon Stage 4 screenshot 10.png|thumb|Donbe can be collected in the winding tunnels after dealing with the Mid-Boss Haboki.]]
In the underwater auto-scrolling area, Kirby has to follow a specific set of tunnels - first down, then up, then through the middle. From there, he will fight the [[Mid-Boss]] [[Haboki]], then be able to pick up Donbe in the next area. Finally, he just needs to reach the end of the stage to get a Heart Star from Hikari.
