'''Desert Hills''' is the first race course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. Elements of the track are based on [[Desert Land]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. [[Pokey]]s roam around the desert and the [[Angry Sun]] will drop [[Fire Snake]]s on the track. Both of these elements act as obstacles on the course. The course also has sharper turns and more intense slopes than previous tracks in the game, bringing up the difficulty for the Flower Cup.

The track starts near an oasis with a small lake where one can sink in the water. The first Pokey can be seen in front of the starting line here as well. To the right of the first turn, the track partially surrounds a pyramid made out of [[Brick Block]]s. One of the other Pokeys is on this turn. There is then a field of dunes, with many more Pokeys roaming within it. The course has a few sharp turns at the end of each lap before approaching the finish line. The dark sand portion of the track is an out-of-bounds area, so if the player touches it, [[Lakitu]] will bring them back to the track.

Desert Hills is the first race course of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart DS. Elements of the track are based on Desert Land from Super Mario Bros. 3. Pokeys roam around the desert and the Angry Sun will drop Fire Snakes on the track. Both of these elements act as obstacles on the course. The course also has sharper turns and more intense slopes than previous tracks in the game, bringing up the difficulty for the Flower Cup.

Desert Hills reappears as a classic course in Mario Kart Wii as the first race track of the Leaf Cup, and in Mario Kart World as the first track of the Flower Cup. Desert Hills and DK Pass are the only courses in the series to appear in two separate games in both the same cup and same slot, both instances being between DS and World.

Course layout

The track starts near an oasis with a small lake where one can sink in the water. The first Pokey can be seen in front of the starting line here as well. To the right of the first turn, the track partially surrounds a pyramid made out of Brick Blocks. One of the other Pokeys is on this turn. There is then a field of dunes, with many more Pokeys roaming within it. The course has a few sharp turns at the end of each lap before approaching the finish line. The dark sand portion of the track is an out-of-bounds area, so if the player touches it, Lakitu will bring them back to the track. There are two shortcuts in this course. The first shortcut is taken by going straight across the hairpin turn, instead of going around. In 150cc, this shortcut requires only one mushroom, if the player jumps at the right time. The second is a dash-through behind the pyramid, right before the Pokeys start appearing. Two mushrooms will be required for this.

The Pipes, Angry Sun, and block designs are taken from aspects of Desert Land in Super Mario Bros. 3.

If the player hits the left dark terrain before they touch the water, they will fall through it with no splash animation.

The following sponsors appear on the course, all of which are trackside banners:

Missions

There are two missions that take place on Desert Hills, both of which the player controls Wario:

  • Mission 2-6: The player must use Bob-ombs to take out all 5 Pokeys within 55 seconds.
  • Mission 4-4: The player must pass through 7 gates within 45 seconds. Along the way, each Item Box contains Triple Mushrooms.

A Mario Kart Wii tournament
The DS Desert Hills tournament

Desert Hills makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart Wii as the first course of the Leaf Cup. The course received improved graphics, and the starting banner was recolored to blue and now displays the classic Mario Kart logo. Few other changes have been made in the this version of this track, aside from the visual improvements; karts now spin out instead of flipping when making contact with Pokeys and the course map has been rotated 180° in contrast to its predecessor. If players use Dash Mushrooms, they can go over many of this course's walls, skipping sections entirely.

December 2009's first tournament required players to take out 10 Pokeys on Desert Hills. The whole track has more Pokeys than before, and players can make use of Item Boxes that either contain a Star or contain Triple Green Shells.

This section is referring to a subject in an upcoming or recently released game. When the game is released, or more information about this subject is found, this section may need major rewriting.
This notice should be removed after a month has passed since the game was first released.

Desert Hills returns in Mario Kart World, appearing as the first course of the Flower Cup. A stone arch over the finish line features carvings of the Angry Sun and Batadons on either side.[1] It is located in the southwestern desert region, and is the westernmost course in the game's map.[2]
