'''The Desert Mystery''' is a course in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. It is found in the [[Sunbaked Desert]], and is unlocked after clearing [[Sunbaked Desert House]]. This course is hidden in the sand, and will reveal itself when the players are near. This course has lots of sand, jars and pull handles that cause various effects. Completion of this course will unlock the following courses:

*[[Color-Switch Dungeon]]
*[[Secrets of Shova Mansion]] (a [[Poplin]] must be paid fifty [[Flower coin]]s to repair a bridge to reach the course)
*[[Sunbaked Desert Palace]]
*[[Badge Challenge Crouching High Jump II]]
*[[KO Arena Sunbaked Skirmish]]

The difficulty of this course is two stars, and it houses two [[Wonder Seed]]s.

==Layout==
The players start at an area where there is a [[Mumsy]] and a pull handle that has power-ups. Not far afterwards is another pull handle that raises a platform from the sand. There are semisolid platforms beyond that as well as a few Mumsies. The players will eventually reach the first [[Checkpoint Flag]].

Beyond the first Checkpoint Flag is more sand, as well as a pull handle that raises a platform with sleeping [[Goomba]]s and a Mumsy on it. There are then [[Condart]]s that fly high above the ground and wait until players are below them, causing them to strike from above. The path ahead contains more flying Condart and a few Mumsies, with one section that has four Condarts in a row. A nearby pull handle close to them will provide a platform to rise up, allowing the players to hide under it to easily avoid the Condarts' attacks. After progressing past more Sleeping Goombas and a few Mumsies, the players will reach to the second Checkpoint Flag.

Past the second Checkpoint Flag are two more Mumsies and pull handles. The second pull handles raises part of a temple piece that forms with its other half, causing the [[Wonder Flower]] to appear. Upon collecting it, an ancient temple will rise up from the ground, and the Wonder Seed will be visible. The Wonder Seed however, flies away from the players, and so they must chase after it. It will lead them inside of the temple, where [[Talking Flower|Red Talking Flowers]] call them "intruders" and act much more meaner than the normal Talking Flowers do. After escaping from a spike wall and avoiding more Mumsies, the players will find and obtain the Wonder Seed for good, which will transport them to where they obtained the Wonder Flower. After getting past three more Goombas as well as another Mumsy, the players will reach to the [[Goal Pole]], where one final pull handle will cause three platforms to rise up in a staircase formation, allowing the players to reach to the top of the Goal Pole.

===Hidden Character Blocks===
*A [[Princess Peach|Peach]] [[Hidden Character Block]] can be found in the secret area where the second [[10-flower coin]] is. While all the corners in that area are sloped, there is one that is sharp, and that's where the block is. It contains a [[Super Mushroom]]/[[Drill Mushroom]].

==10-flower coins==
*'''[[10-flower coin]] 1''': Not far in the course, there is a pull handle that causes a yellow pipe to rise up from the sand. It will transport the players to an underground area where they must use another pull handle to lower the sand of the area, revealing the 10-flower coin.
*'''10-flower coin 2''': Found in another underground area past the first Checkpoint Flag. There is an area above ground that has a pull handle that causes many yellow pipes to rise up. One of these pipes is blue, and it will transport the players to the underground area. There is a Mumsy there, and the coin is near the ceiling. The players can easily grab the coin if they are in [[Drill Mario|Drill Form]].
*'''10-flower coin 3''': Found not far after the second Checkpoint Flag. There is a pull handle that causes an arc of [[coin]]s to rise up, with the 10-flower coin being in the middle of the arc.
