In the shifting sands land how do I pass the level standing tall on four..

All you have to do is stand on all four pillars(it is best to do this with Liugi because of his back flip) then the top of the pyramid flies off. Then you go in the the top of the pyramid and right when you fall into the pyramid you will land on a platform(don't jump off of the platform!!!!!!!!!) that will take you right in front of that big square thing in the middle of the pyramid. Go inside the big square thing and battle these two giant monsters(trust me its easier than it sounds, Oh and punch them in the eye three times each). Thats how I did it!

P.S. If the monsters scare you right when they come out of hiding, don't be embarrased! they scared me too

P.P.S. Enjoy!!! hoped I helped!

Stand on the four pillars. Once you have done so the pyramid roof will blow off and there's your star.

Nintendo dude got it all wrong. Here's what you do.
Be Luigi, go into the pyramid, infront of you is a big pile of quick sand and in the middle of it is a big red block and in that is a hole.

Now get on one of those concrete slabs sticking out of the sand and do a backflip with luigi he will sort of fly. So fly into the hole (don't worry if you don't do it first time it took me a while.)

Once in the hole punch the red brick and go down the hole you will then fight a freaky boss. Just don't get squahed and punch his handy eyes.
