'''Sand Canyon''' is the third level in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. It is primarily based on a North American desert, containing vast, rocky wastelands, various stone formations and cacti. It also features a large ominous pyramid in its final stage. The [[boss]] fought in this level is [[Pon & Con]]. This level follows [[Ripple Field (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Ripple Field]] and is followed by [[Cloudy Park (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Cloudy Park]].

==Cut-scene==
[[Kirby]], [[Rick]], and [[Coo]] are playing a ball game using [[Gooey]] as the ball, while [[ChuChu]] is admiring a flower. Coo overshoots, causing Gooey to collide with the wall, then fall and squish the flower. ChuChu gets angry at the others, who are watching in dismay as Gooey licks ChuChu, which then results in her punching Gooey very hard into the wall. After this, ChuChu blushes as the others stare at her in fear.

==Stage Synopsis==
KDL3 Sand Canyon intro.png|The intro cutscene for Sand Canyon
The following is a brief rundown of the stages of Sand Canyon and their contents. For a full guide on how to get the Heart Stars in this region, visit the [[Heart Star#Sand_Canyon|Heart Star]] page.
</gallery>
===Stage 1===
'''Room 1''' - The stage begins on a series of rocky outcroppings. Kirby will encounter flowers and mushrooms along the way, which he may want to be selective in interacting with. The path continues past cliffs and through tight spaces, until reaching a door on the other side.


==Overview==
'''Room 2''' - In this small area, Kirby will meet [[Polof]]. This creature appears nowhere else in the game, and may actually come in handy for something. Kirby could attack it if he wants to, though. In the room after that, Kirby can choose between [[Rick]] and [[Pitch]] before moving on.
Sand Canyon is largely a desert-themed land, with little in the way of vegetation or water. Many areas have open skies, making [[Coo]] handy to have around. As Kirby travels through this area, he will pass by rocky crags in stage 1, through a wasteland of mixed rock and sand in stage 2, through a volcanic region in stage 3, across the twilit dunes and through a submerged tunnel in stage 4, through a hollow cave structure in stage 5, and into a strange black pyramid in stage 6. The hazards present in each stage are varied and difficult to predict.


The [[Heart Star]]s in this level are often counter-intuitive and may require extensive time and effort to solve, particularly the task in stage 6.
'''Room 3''' - This next room is a winding tunnel with many enemies inset.  


===Stages===
'''Room 4''' - Another winding tunnel - this one zig-zagging downward. Its slopes are good for rolling stones.
Each stage is unlocked in succession after clearing the previous one. Defeating [[Pon & Con]] is necessary to move on to [[Cloudy Park (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Cloudy Park]]. For more information about a particular stage, click on the link to the stage's page in the table. For a full guide on how to get the Heart Stars in this region, visit the [[Heart Star#Sand_Canyon|Heart Star]] page.

'''Room 5''' - This path leads out of the tunnels, into some decidedly prehistoric-looking enemies. After a very long trek past hordes of these foes, the stage exit can be reached.
!class=unsortable|Stage
 
!class=unsortable|Animal Friends
The last room contains a mushroom like the ones in the first room. If it is pleased, it will give Kirby a Heart Star.

===Stage 2===
'''Room 1''' - The stage begins out in the open desert, with a path leading to the right past nasty foes. [[Keke]] flies through the air, providing the [[Clean]] ability. Some of the sand is sliding, making traversal even trickier. Along the way, [[Coo]] and [[ChuChu]] can be met in a side-chamber. The path then leads through a tunnel before reaching the door.
'''Room 2''' - Back out in the open, more tricky terrain awaits. Along the path, a side-chamber can be accessed which holds a [[1-Up]] and some [[Energy Drink]]s, but some insight is needed to actually reach those items.
'''Room 3''' - This area is another open field. A few [[Bukiset]]s guard a sandstone structure further right. Inside the building, a janitor can be seen sweeping up the floor. Further chambers contain rather dusty floors, along with some shady creatures making things more complicated. Back outside, more Bukisets guard the door to the next area.
'''Room 4''' - This room is a long winding tunnel, with [[Propeller]]s inside.
'''Room 5''' - The last area is a stroll through an oasis, though even here, Kirby is not safe from attack. It's a long trek past pools and dunes until the stage exit is reached on the other side.
In the last room, the janitor from earlier will reward Kirby with a Heart Star if he helped out.

===Stage 3===
'''Room 1''' - This stage begins at the head of a rocky cliff, with the path continuing downward. Along the way, three doorways can be found in a small room - each one holding a different [[Animal Friend]].
'''Room 2''' - The door leads to a deeper section of cave, where spiked blocks move in and out of the tunnel from holes in the walls. Further in, more blocks will be pounding the floor.
'''Room 3''' - The door leads to a deeper-still tunnel, filled with magma. A bunch of [[Galbo]] live here, which will make traversing this tunnel tricky.
'''Room 4''' - This door leads to a [[Sub-Game]] with a local egg creature. Kirby has to guess how many [[Gordo]]s had a certain face out of a bunch in the air. This goes on for up to three rounds, though Kirby does not need to guess correctly in order to move forward.
'''Room 5''' - This tunnel is also full of magma, and fire-based creatures. Strangely though, the [[Bobo]]s don't seem to be able to take the heat.
'''Room 6''' - This area is a suspended sandy tunnel. Here, Kirby can spot [[Batamon]] walking around on the outside. The stage exit can be found past a number of enemies and sandfalls.
Kirby can pick up a Heart Star from the egg creature from earlier if he got all his guesses right.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*Sand Canyon is notable for being the only level in ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' (besides the [[Hyper Zone]]) that did not debut in its predecessor, ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]''; the latter does, however, contain a similar level known as [[Red Canyon]], which may have served as the inspiration for this one.

*Stage 2 features a remix of the famous [[Gourmet Race]] theme.
