Sinking Island refers to two variants of a sub-world that involves quickly scaling an island as lava rises around it, found in Seaside Kingdom and Dark Side. The Seaside Kingdom version is accessed via a door below the Hot Spring Island and consists of using an Uproot to scale the island and collect two Power Moons, while the Dark Side version, accessed via a Moon Pipe, involves climbing it using Yoshi while collecting fruit.

Trivia

  • It's possible to scale the island and reach the top without the use of any captures. In the Seaside Kingdom version, this allows both moons to be collected.
  • Since getting burned by lava refreshes Mario's cap bounce, it's possible to explore many of the islands in the background of the level instead of entering the trigger area that causes the lava to begin rising. Most of these islands actually have collision, allowing the player to stand on top.
