Template:Levelbox Spike's Spouting Sands, or Layer-Cake Desert-4, is the fourth course of Layer-Cake Desert in New Super Mario Bros. U. It contains Sand Spouts and Spikes.

Layout

The course takes place in the part of the desert with Moai Heads and slanted structures. The main platforms are Moai Heads, but unlike the others introduced, they are completely immobile. Spikes appear in this course and throw Spiked Balls, usually on rising Sand Spouts.

Star Coins

  • Star Coin 1: Below a structure of orange bridges.
  • Star Coin 2: The first Sand Spout after the first star coin, has a vine above it that leads to a room with the second Star Coin.
  • Star Coin 3: After a hidden room with a Mini Mushroom, the player must dash through various Sand Spouts to reach the final Star Coin.

Secret Exit

The location of the exit.

Using a Mini Mushroom, the player must head to the structure left of the Spike that comes after the third Star Coin to get to a Cannon Pipe that leads to the secret exit. The secret hole is found at the very bottom of the tower. Alternatively, the player can also run and crouch to slide through the small hole, although when the player enters, the coins will be out of reach without Mini Mario. The exit unlocks Piranha Plants on Ice.
