I like it in 3d Mario games more. When you jump into quicksand, you lose a life. If you jump into lava, you lose health. In both situations you get punished. If you could get out of the quicksand, it would be too easy in my opinion, and loosing health because of quicksand wouldn't make sense.
In 2D Mario games quicksand is dangerous because you can't escape in many directions if the enemy comes, but in a 3D Mario game you have too many directions to escape.
