'''Dry Dry Desert''' is a vast, hot desert in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. It appears as a major location in the second chapter of ''[[Paper Mario]]''. [[Mario]] gets there by using the [[Dry Dry Railroad]] and climbing [[Mt. Rugged]] in Chapter 2. Mario can find [[Kolorado]] and his research team in the first area he enters. After exploring the desert a bit, Mario and his team visit the desert town of [[Dry Dry Outpost]]. After talking to [[Moustafa]] and receiving the [[Pulse Stone]], Mario must search the hot desert to find [[Dry Dry Ruins (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Ruins]]. Many side-quests, badges and items are available in this large desert.


In ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', the green [[Ratooey]] [[Lumpy]] visits Dry Dry Desert to strike it rich by digging for oil. Mario can read about Lumpy's visit to the desert in his diary once he returns to [[Rogueport]].
==''Mario & Wario''==
==Layout==
[[File:M&WLevel8.png|frame|right]]
The desert is a 7x7 grid of smaller areas, or 49 panels, with a straight road running through the middle of it. The Mt. Rugged exit is on the west (D1), while Dry Dry Outpost is on the east (D7). The oasis (F7) can be found two screens south of the screen just before Dry Dry Outpost, which is all the way to the east.
'''Karakara Sabaku''' (カラカラ砂漠, or ''Dry Dry Desert'') is the eighth stage found in ''[[Mario & Wario]]''. This stage reintroduces the [[Guriguri]] enemy, which are more tenacious than ever. A tame [[Pokey|cactus]] basks in the desert's humid haze, watching [[Wanda]]'s progress. [[Wario]] leaves an [[Mario's Picross|archeologist's hat]] on the player's character during the stage intro.
