| '''Bone-Dry Dunes''' (written as '''Bone Dry Dunes''' in the British English version) is the second race track of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. This course takes place on a desert and canyon place with shifting sand rivers and bones. Several ships ridden by [[Shy Guy]]s and [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s sail through quicksand during the race, occasionally throwing out coins onto the track, similar to the train in {{classic-link|N64|Rainbow Road}}. | | |

| |
| The course starts in an area with a small audience and tents. The road turns right before a sinuous section, and briefly splits into two paths (a ramp is placed between them). After a winding path, racers will find a wooden bridge which leads to a canyon filled with giant bones. | | The course starts in an area with a small audience and tents.

|
| The road now is sandy, and begins with a right turn. The characters encounter a [[Bone Piranha Plant]] (which behaves just like a regular [[Piranha Plant]], biting whoever is near). The following area has two distinct road options: the one to the left keeps the sand ground, and features several more Bone Piranha Plants; the one to the right is an anti-gravity section where characters race along a wall made up of ribs, featuring some spin boosters. Both end with a glider segment, which takes racers across the starting straightaway and into a cave, with the mouth being a giant skull and hands resembling [[Dry Bowser]]. | | The road now is sandy, and begins with a right turn.

|
| Entering the cave, there is a higher and a lower path to choose. The higher path is a narrow and rather short wooden catwalk, which is accessible via bouncing off a sand spout that may appear. [[Item Box]]es can be found on this path. The lower one is the soil of the cave. Inside it, some [[Dry Bones]] wander around on the road. A left turn marks the exit of the cave right before the finish line.

| ''We asked the guitarist to strum the strings in such a way as to create the atmosphere of a dry wind blowing across the desert. The violin and bass then combine to give a really emotional performance.''

| ==References to the ''Super Mario'' franchise==
| |
| *The pots on the course depict enemies, scenery, and coins from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]''
| |
| *In one piece of fabric found in tents near the finish line, the [[Angry Sun]] enemy from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' appears.

| *The staff ghost for this course being [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]] may reference his role as the boss of the desert world in ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' games.
