| '''Desert Hills''' is the first race course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. Elements of the track are based on [[Desert Land]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. [[Pokey]]s roam around the desert and the [[Angry Sun]] will drop [[Fire Snake]]s on the track. Both of these elements act as obstacles on the course. The course also has sharper turns and more intense slopes than previous tracks in the game, bringing up the difficulty for the Flower Cup. | | [[Image:MKDS_DesertHills.jpg|right|thumb|'''Desert Hills''', a race course that contains Pokeys.]] |
|
| |
|
| Desert Hills reappears as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the first race track of the [[Leaf Cup]]. | | ''Desert Hills'' is a course in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. [[Pokey]]s run wild around parts of the course and the [[Angry Sun]] will throw fireballs down at the drivers from the second lap on. The course looks like [[Desert Land]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It also features a few bumps and has many sharp turns. The sand in "Desert Hils" is extremely annoying, as it slows karts down by huge amounts, even the lightest. |
|
| |
|
| ==''Mario Kart DS''==
| | There is a considerably big shortcutby going straight across the hairpins, instead of going around. In 150cc, this shortcut requires only one mushroom, if the player jumps at the right time. |
| ===Course layout===
| |
| The track starts near an oasis with a small lake where one can sink in the water. The first Pokey can be seen in front of the starting line here as well. To the right of the first turn, the track partially surrounds a pyramid made out of [[Brick Block]]s. One of the other Pokeys is on this turn. There is then a field of dunes, with many more Pokeys roaming within it. The course has a few sharp turns at the end of each lap before approaching the finish line. The dark sand portion of the track is an out-of-bounds area, so if the player touches it, [[Lakitu]] will bring them back to the track.
| |
|
| |
|
| The Pipes, Angry Sun, and block designs are taken from aspects of Desert Land in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

| ===Shortcuts===
| | [[Category: Mario Kart DS Race Courses]] |
| There are two shortcuts in this course. The first shortcut is taken by going straight across the hairpin turn, instead of going around. In 150cc, this shortcut requires only one [[Dash Mushroom|mushroom]], if the player jumps at the right time. The second is a dash-through behind the pyramid, right before the Pokeys start appearing. Two mushrooms will be required for this.

| ===Glitches===
| | [[Category: Deserts and Tundras]] |
| If the player hits the left dark terrain before they touch the water, they will fall through it with no splash animation.
| |
| | |
| ===Missions===
| |
| There are two [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|missions]] that take place on Desert Hills, both of which the player controls [[Wario]]:
| |
| *'''Mission 2-6''': The player must use [[Bob-omb]]s to take out all 5 Pokeys within 55 seconds.
| |
| *'''Mission 4-4''': The player must pass through 7 gates within 45 seconds. Along the way, each Item Box contains [[Triple Mushrooms]].

| |
| Desert Hills makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the first course of the [[Leaf Cup]]. The course received improved graphics, like most other retro courses in ''Mario Kart Wii''. The starting banner was recolored to blue and now displays the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo. Few other changes have been made in the this version of this track aside from the visual improvements; [[Kart]]s now spin out instead of flipping when making contact with Pokeys and the course map has been rotated 180 degrees in contrast to its predecessor.
| |
| | |
| If players use mushrooms, they can go over many of this course's walls, skipping sections entirely.
| |
| | |
| ===Tournaments===
| |
| [[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments#December 2009 Tournament 1|December 2009's first tournament]] required players to take out 10 [[Pokey]]s on Desert Hills. The whole track has more Pokeys than before, and players can make use of Item Boxes that either contain a [[Super Star|Star]] or contain [[Triple Green Shells]].

| **[[File:Flag of Europe.png|20px]] "''Bring plenty of sunscreen and seat cushions for this race because the baking desert heat and bumpy terrain can give unprepared drivers serious sunburn and saddle sores. Watch out for the Pokeys too - walking cacti that can stop a speeding kart in its tracks and cost you precious seconds.''"

| |
| *'''Trading Card bio:''' "''Desert Hills is not a very difficult course to get around, but it provides a perfect canvas for you to paint a racing masterpiece upon. Spend time on this track dialing your cornering techniques. Be sure to use Mushrooms (if you've got them) to blast over the tall dunes before the start/finish line.''"
