==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 as the others watch in dismay, 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 1===
</gallery>
'''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.


'''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.
==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.


'''Room 3''' - This next room is a winding tunnel with many enemies inset.  
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 4''' - Another winding tunnel - this one zig-zagging downward. Its slopes are good for rolling stones.
===Stages===
 
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.

===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.

===Stage 4===
'''Room 1''' - 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.
'''Room 2''' - This area is a sandy cave with lots of spike pits and [[Tick]]s. A [[Pacto]] trap awaits Kirby near the end of this path.
'''Room 3''' - 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.
'''Room 4''' If Kirby took the correct path, he will engage in a fight with [[Haboki]]. From there, all paths leads 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 in it. Kirby can pick up this child before moving on to the next area.
'''Room 5''' - This 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 Hikari. If he saved Dinbe, she will give him a Heart Star.

===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.

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.

Overview[edit]

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 Stars in this level are often counter-intuitive and may require extensive time and effort to solve, particularly the task in stage 6.

Stages[edit]

Each stage is unlocked in succession after clearing the previous one. Defeating Pon & Con is necessary to move on to 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 page.

Trivia[edit]

  • 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.
