It is the catacombs of [[Tutankoopa]]'s crypt, and the native home of [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]]s, including [[Stone Chomp]]s. [[Goombario]] refers to it as an illusion ruin due to how difficult it is to reveal. It is lined by many pillars adorned with Chomp statues, and holds the sarcophagi of many [[Pokey Mummy|Pokey Mummies]]. According to a [[Dryite]] in [[Dry Dry Outpost]], Dry Dry Ruins is apparently the remnants of [[King Mousta]]'s destroyed [[Dry Dry Kingdom|kingdom]].

==History==
Dry Dry Ruins is first mentioned when [[Princess Peach]] and [[Twink]] read [[Bowser's diary]] at the end of Chapter 1. The diary states that it is where a [[Star Spirit]] is being held, and it can be found in [[Dry Dry Desert (Paper Mario)|Dry Dry Desert]] after solving a mystery. Upon reading this, Princess Peach asks Twink to find [[Mario]] and tell him the information, which Mario receives when he comes back to [[Toad Town]] after clearing Chapter 1.

Line 20: Line 24:


At the beginning of Chapter 3, [[Toad Town News]] reports that the ancient ruins have been discovered by Kolorado, and Mario may have played a key role. Later in the game, there is also a piece of advertisement for the "Exploration Tour of Dry Dry Ruins" offered by Toad Town Tours. Dry Dry Ruins is also the destination of the second [[Trading Event Toad|Trading Event]].

==Geography==
==Areas==
Dry Dry Ruins' entrance is located in Dry Dry Desert, found in the area which is 2 screens east and 3 screens north of Kolorado's camp. After the [[Pulse Stone]] is placed on the stone pedestal at the center of the area, the ruins rise out of the sands along with a [[Recovery Block|recovery block]] to the left of it. Dry Dry Ruins looks like a temple, with stairs in the front of it leading to the inside.

In the second room from the entrance, there are three sarcophagi of [[Pokey Mummy|Pokey Mummies]]. The second contains a [[Spike Shield]] badge.

This two-floor hub room also has two doors on the first floor. They both lead to an even lower area, with the [[Diamond Stone]] room to the left and the [[Lunar Stone]] room to the right. There is also a [[Super Block]] and a trampoline which can be used to get back to the previous area. After getting all three of the stones (all of which involve breaking a [[Stone Block]] and battling two [[Stone Chomp]]s), Mario needs to place them in receptacles in a corridor with Chomp statues. This unlocks the stairs to Tutankoopa's room, with a [[Recovery Block|recovery block]] and a [[Save Block]] on the way.
