==Cutscene==
[[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.

==Overview==
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.

===Stage 5===
[[File:Sand Canyon DL3 Stage 5.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Kirby escapes a rolling boulder in Stage 5.]]
'''Room 1''' - The stage begins on a high rocky walkway, as Kirby must contend with some [[Dogon]]. Rick can be found in a side-chamber under the main path. The road then leads to a tunnel full of spiked blocks that repeatedly fall.
'''Room 2''' - The door leads to a long fall, where some caches can be accessed. One of them however, with loads of goodies in it, requires the [[Ice]] ability to open. There are some [[Chilly|Chillies]] at the bottom, but Kirby alone still cannot reach the blocks without help.
'''Room 3''' - The door leads to an auto-scrolling section in a tunnel. Kirby will have to contend with boulders and [[Galbo]]s in here. Along the way, a side-chamber can be accessed which holds [[ChuChu]]. At the end, a number of Nidoo will make things rather annoying.
'''Room 4''' - This area is a carved chamber leading upward. A side-door can be used to find a room full of ability-providing enemies. The Burning and Clean abilities in particular can be used to open up a cache of Star Blocks in the main chamber. Further up, some [[Sir Kibble]]s can be found, completing the set. The door to the next area is guarded at the top by [[Dekabu].
'''Room 5''' - The door leads to another chamber set leading upward. If ChuChu is with Kirby, she'll be able to show off her ceiling-clinging skills here in order to move forward. The stage exit lies at the top, out in the open air.
In the final room, [[Nyupun]] the octopus is waiting. If Kirby brought ChuChu, he will give out a Heart Star.

===Stage 6===
[[File:Sand Canyon DL3 Stage 6.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Kirby finds the Zebon at the heart of the pyramid in Stage 6.]]
'''Room 1''' - The stage begins out in the desert, as Kirby must progress to the right past loads of enemies.
'''Room 2''' - The door leads to an empty desert area. In front of Kirby is a massive black pyramid, which he will enter.
'''Room 3''' - The door leads into the pyramid, to a strange-looking interior place. Kirby must dodge boulders here while avoiding falling into the [[Void]] below.
'''Room 4''' - The door leads to a hub-like area filled with water. There are eight different directions to go, with a [[Zebon]] in the middle.
*The bottom door leads to a room where a bunch of [[Bukiset]]s can be found, wielding different abilities. All eight abilities can be obtained from these guys. Another door leads to a split chamber where two more doors await on the left and right, along with some [[Energy Drink]]s. Through these doors, all six of Kirby's Animal Friends are waiting.
*The rightmost door leads to the next area.
*All other doors lead to various rooms containing challenges that require specific animal friends and copy abilities to tackle. Each one leads to a collectable item.
'''Room 5''' - This hall is a gauntlet of various hazards that Kirby has to contend with.
'''Room 6''' - The door leads back out of the pyramid, and into the desert.
'''Room 7''' - The door leads to an exterior desert area. From here, it's a long and grueling run past [[Shotzo]]s to reach the stage exit.
In the final room, Professor Hector is waiting. If Kirby collected all the pieces of R.O.B., the professor will give him a Heart Star.

===Boss: Pon Con===
[[File:Pon Con Fight.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A portion of the battle with Pon and Con.]]
The battle takes place on a platform with three decks that Kirby can jump up to and down from. The two bosses in question a Racoon and a Fox, start running about the decks with their children in tow. Kirby can inhale then spit back the children at their parents, but will have to mind the movements of the other critters, as well as the occasional large Gordo that falls down to block a path.
When Pon and Con are defeated, the Heart Stars Kirby gathered, assuming he got all six, will purge the area of [[Dark Matter]]'s influence. From there, he dances, and rides his [[Warp Star]] to the next level - [[Cloudy Park (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Cloudy Park]].

This article is about the level in Kirby's Dream Land 3. For the similarly-named level in Kirby Mass Attack, see Sandy Canyon.

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 and is followed by Cloudy Park.

Cutscene[edit]

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.

  • 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.
