This level took more time to figure out than it should have.
Sand Castle Stage
Keep jumping to save yourself from sinking into the quicksand. Watch out for hermit crabs that chase after you on the slopes, which push you around somewhat like a conveyor belt. When you reach the part where the sand collects and pours down like an hourglass, stay there to drop down and continue on.
Butt bouncing the crab only sinks it into the sand briefly, but you can use that to help yourself get away.
You'll be swimming again. Hit the sign to trigger the checkpoint, and avoid the fish and spikes and remember to surface at the pockets of air as you hit the switches to open up more of the maze.
Near the end, the water will rise and fall upwards. When you reach the wall at the end, climb all the way up with the Rope and jump across the sand blocks to get a Power Star.
You do not want to be in the water near jellyfish when the jellyfish flash, as they will shock the water and cost you a hit point if you're still underwater when that happens.
Place the barrel on the geyser to get to the door at the end and face the boss.
The boss is a giant crab. Throw the barrel at the crab, and when it spins its arms, stay far away and near the surface to duck under the tornado it creates. You'll then need to grab the barrel and throw it at the crab as it stands there and blinks its eyes...and you have to be fast or else the boss will be invulnerable again for a little while. Thankfully, the crab goes down after only three hits, which is the saving grace of this battle in case you can't move fast enough to get a hit in on the boss. Also, if you can grab the barrel before the tornado disappears, you can still duck while holding it.
When you beat the crab boss, you'll rescue King Donald. He'll tell you that this fortress was used to guard the harbor until it was turned to sand, then give you a ship from the harbor to reach the island.
