'''Kalimari Desert''' (named '''Kara Kara Desert''' on a few occasions<ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 51, page 28.</ref><ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (Australia) issue 49, page 40.</ref>) is a racecourse in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It is the fourth and final race of the [[Mushroom Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', the first race of the [[Leaf Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', and the third race of the [[Turnip Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.

The name of the course is a portmanteau of "{{wp|Kalahari Desert|Kalahari}}," which is a real-life desert in Africa, and the word used for squid-based food, "{{wp|Squid as food|calamari}}." It is the only track to have originated from the Mushroom Cup to later return in the Leaf Cup. In ''Mario Kart Tour'', there exists a re-route of this course called '''Kalimari Desert 2''', which takes racers into the tunnel.

In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', a train known as the [[K64]] is based on the train in the course, and when riding on it, it plays a rearrangement of the course's music.

==Course layout==
The race starts out next to a large cliff formation. Upon the first turn, racers see how empty the desert really is. At the end of the turn, the racers encounter the [[Train (obstacle)|train]] for the first time. After passing the tracks, the players race alongside the track of the train (though it is in a cave and not visible), eventually running into it a second time. After this encounter, the racers race along the edge of the map and eventually advance back to the finish line.

If the player drives over the sand, their kart will move slower, and if they enter the darker portion of the sand, Lakitu will pull them out, as it is an out-of-bounds area.

The course's most notable feature is the two trains that go through a mesa. The trains constantly move around the track, often crossing through the racers' path. Depending on what mode is being played, the trains may or may not have coaches attached to it. When playing in single-player, the train has a tender and passenger cars. When playing in two-player mode, the train's length is halved, having a tender and only one passenger car. In three- or four-player mode, the train consists only of the engine, with no tender or passenger cars present. If the player runs into one of them, they will be thrown in the air. It is possible to drive on the train's track; however, this costs the racer time. It is possible, but very difficult, to cross the train track while the train is there by driving through the gap between the coaches. If a player travels through the train tunnel, they typically bypass the finish line, not moving on to the next lap as the other racers. However, if the player has a [[Super Star#Mario Kart series|Star]] and activates it just before entering the tunnel, they move on to the next lap, effectively shortcutting ahead of the others. This trick only works during the first two laps.

==''Mario Kart 7''==
[[File:KalimariDesertMK7.png|thumb|215px|left|The course in ''Mario Kart 7'']]
Kalimari Desert returns in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the first course of the [[Leaf Cup]]. There are now two shortcut ramps near the end of the first corner and before the third corner of the track to accommodate the new gliding feature, allowing racers to glide over the trains. The players can also use mushrooms to gain easy access to these ramps. Several wooden ramps also litter the inside and outside of the track, and as always, can be tricked to gain a small boost. However, the train tunnel can no longer be entered because it is now an out-of-bounds area, making the lap glitch impossible in this game. The trains are also shorter: they have three wagons while they had five in the original version of the track, and they now seem to ride more slowly.

Much like in ''Mario Kart 64'', two trains are present, but only one train is present when doing online multiplayer races.

In this game, the mini-map of this course does not show the path of the train track while in ''Mario Kart 64'', it did.

==''Mario Kart Tour''==
[[File:MKT Kalimari Desert Scene.jpg|thumbnail|right|The course in ''Mario Kart Tour'']]
Kalimari Desert reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting in the [[Tokyo Tour]]. The course's starting line now features a wooden banner with the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo on it and a wooden wagon wheel resting along the right side of the post, rather than taking its appearance from ''Mario Kart 64'' and ''Mario Kart 7''. Since racers are always moving forward, colliding into the train causes them to launch over it unharmed while they perform a [[trick]]. The train can also be knocked into the air with a [[Super Horn]], a [[Mega Mushroom]] or a [[Bowser's Shell]]. This course is a favorite of [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]], [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]], [[Hammer Bro]], [[Toad (species)|Yellow Toad (Pit Crew)]], [[Green Shy Guy]], [[Princess Peach|Peach (Explorer)]], [[Yoshi|Yoshi (Kangaroo)]], [[Luigi|Luigi (Vacation)]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Farmer)]], [[Cat Mario]], [[Shy Guy|Shy Guy (Pastry Chef)]], and [[Kamek]]. It can also be a favorite of [[Mario|Mario (Halloween)]] and [[Meowser]] if they reach level 3, and [[Waluigi]] and [[Lakitu|Lakitu (Party Time)]] if they reach level 6.

Kalimari Desert also has a Reversed variant, a Trick variant, and a Reversed/Trick variant, referred to as '''Kalimari Desert R''', '''Kalimari Desert T''', and '''Kalimari Desert R/T''', respectively. The former two were introduced along with the normal variant in the [[Tokyo Tour]], while the latter was introduced in the [[Holiday Tour (2019)|2019 Holiday Tour]].

Starting from the [[Wild West Tour]], a re-routed version of this track known as '''N64 Kalimari Desert 2''' is featured. It has two sections: one that starts on the main route but switches to the railroad section at the second intersection, and the other that starts in the tunnel and goes back to the main route again at the second intersection, after which it continues on like normal.

Kalimari Desert reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 2 of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]. It is the third course of the [[Turnip Cup]]. It is based on its ''Mario Kart Tour'' design, but has been given a major graphical update.<ref>Nintendo (July 28, 2022).

==Trivia==
*Although the instruction manual implies that going through the train tunnel is a shortcut, it takes longer to go through the tunnel to the other end of the course than it does to go on the main road, although the manual might be referring to the above mentioned Super Star shortcut.
*The railroad crossing sounds in ''Mario Kart 64'' were taken from real Japanese National Railway railroad crossing signals with electronic bells. The ''Mario Kart 7'' version has more appropriate American-style mechanical crossing bell sounds.
*In ''Mario Kart 64'', the railroad crossing signs' lettering appears to be mirrored. The signs in the ''Mario Kart 7'' iteration are unlettered.
