{{race course infobox

'''Dry Dry Ruins''' is the first race course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. The course draws influences from both [[GCN Dry Dry Desert|Dry Dry Desert]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and [[GBA Yoshi Desert|Yoshi Desert]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'', seen in things like the starting line being a solid arch for the former, and the reappearance of the [[Yoshi]] Sphinx from the latter.

==''Mario Kart Wii''==

This course takes place in a desert with [[Egypt]]ian-themed structures such as obelisks, temples and pyramids, and starts out under some ruins. Racers begin by taking a right turn where there is immediately a brief split path, as they must either go left or right around an area of sand and a pillar; both paths have a set of [[Item Box]]es. Where the paths join there is another right turn, where racers encounter the first of several [[Pokey]]s. Each Pokey moves left and right across the track, and if racers hit one they will spin out. The right turn brings racers to a small oasis where they must use a somewhat broken bridge to cross a pond, with a second Pokey at the end of the bridge. Afterwards there is a sharp left turn, a second item set, and a sharp right turn. Racers then take a slight left turn into a wide straightaway where there are three pillars on alternating sides of the track. They fall onto the track in order, with the first one falling about 15 seconds into the race, and become lodged in the sand. If racers hit a pillar that is still falling they will flip over, but they can use fallen pillars as ramps to perform [[Jump Boost|tricks]]. After this, the track narrows and racers enter the ruins as an alternate version of the course's music begins playing.

==''Mario Kart Tour''==

Dry Dry Ruins makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting from the [[Ninja Tour (2023)|2023 Ninja Tour]]. This makes it the third Wii course to make its classic course debut in ''Mario Kart Tour'',  after [[Wii DK Summit|DK Summit]] and [[Wii Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]]. It is also the first desert-themed course to be added to the game since [[GBA Sunset Wilds]] in the [[Sunset Tour]] sixty-two tours prior. The patch of offroad at the start has been made slightly larger. The subsequent turn right has been straightened out very slightly. The [[Item Box]]es above the [[Half-pipe (object)|half-pipe]] after entering the ruins have been moved to the entrance. The statues beside the ruins entrance and exit and the Yoshi Sphinxes have been replaced by a [[Hammer Bros. Sphinx|singular one]] based on a [[Hammer Bro]], derived from {{classic|GCN|Dry Dry Desert}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. This sphinx was also moved to the beginning of the track. The other Yoshi iconography in the course has also been removed, with ones featuring [[Lakitu]] taking their place. The sand located before the half-pipe after the entrance is no longer present, and the sand was reshaped so that the half-pipes are no longer needed to avoid touching it. The minimap now reflects this sand. The hieroglyphs along the pillars and the [[Swoop]]s in the entrance and exit of the ruins have been removed. The room in the ruins that fills with sand over time now has two piles of sand instead of four and can also be tricked off of. The sand also does not pile up as high. Starting from the [[Pipe Tour]], an extra trick ramp was added to the entrance of the ruins before the half-pipes.
