Where to Find Sand Terrain
Resort Layer: Juicy Beach
Sand terrain shows up all over the Resort Layer, but the best location is Juicy Beach. It has wide, open space with minimal obstacles, perfect for farming large amounts of sand quickly.
Once you’ve cleared all the sand, reset the terrain and repeat.

Punch Sand with Kong Bananza
Transform into Kong Bananza and punch the sand repeatedly. It’s fast, satisfying, and ideal for early to mid-game players.
How to Unlock and Use Kong Bananza Form

You can stay in Kong form longer by equipping certain skills or costumes. Boosting your transformation time increases your efficiency, so invest your skill points or fossils if you’ve got them to spare.
Use Elephant Bananza's Suction
Unlock Elephant Bananza in the Tempest Layer (SL 900), then head back to the Resort. Use its suction skill to pull up large patches of sand.
This method is often faster than Kong Bananza, especially for players in the late game.
How to Unlock and Use Elephant Bananza Form
Reset the Terrain After Clearing
Sand terrain does not respawn on its own. Once the area is cleared, open the map with the minus (-) button, then press the plus (+) button to reset.
Repeat the process to farm sand continuously.
Smashintone Challenge Guide
Break 30,000 m³ of Sand in Resort Layer
Smashintone’s sand-breaking challenge is found in the Resort Layer, near Tropical Retreat. To complete it, destroy a total of 30,000 m³ of sand terrain.
Using Kong Bananza or Elephant Bananza will make this challenge fast and easy. Once you’ve hit the mark, return to Smashintone to claim your Banandium Gem.
