'''Dry Dry Desert''' is a race course found in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. It is the fourth and last stage of the [[Mushroom Cup]], and is based on an area of the same name from ''[[Paper Mario]]''. The course is located in a burning desert containing many Egyptian-themed elements like pyramids, obelisks showing pictures of [[Mario]] and friends carved in the stone, and large stone statues. The track also includes a pool of quicksand that pulls [[kart]]s to the bottom of the pit where a large [[Cactus Piranha Plant|cactus-like Piranha Plant]] waits the unfortunate racers to be devoured, calling [[Lakitu]] for rescue. Other obstacles are [[Pokey]]s along the course, bending their bodies that cause players to spin out of control when touching them. A tornado runs along the course in the opposite way racers go on the track, lifting anything on the ground to the air. It also appears in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', as the first course of the [[Banana Cup]] as well as a battle stage.

The track starts crossing a stone arch where the starting line is located. Usually, there is a straight path where the finish line is; Dry Dry Desert is no different. After the straight dirt path is a curve to the right. The roads twists moderately with some Pokeys to the left and right. The player may use a [[Mushroom]] to cut through the sand in this area, but has to watch out for the collapsed obelisks acting as speed bumps, which may slow the player down if he or she plans to cut through this area.
The track starts crossing a stone arch where the starting line is located.

Usually, there is a straight path where the finish line is; Dry Dry Desert is no different. After the straight dirt path is a curve to the right.

There is also a large [[tornado]] that roams the track in the reverse direction, and can suck up racers into the sky.


After the twisty road is a curve right facing towards an oasis, which splits into two branches. In the center of the fork is a giant sand pit, which will lure any racer into the center of it. If the players reaches the bottom, they will get gobbled up by the Big Piranha Plant lying in the center of the pit, similar to straying off course or falling. The fork winds around this circular pit.

After the pit is two statues and a curve right. Two Pokeys are standing next to each other with an [[Item Box]] occupying in between the two Pokeys. There is a turn right after the two Pokeys and the item box, which leads into an enlarged area with many dunes, often with item boxes on top of them. One large Pokey can first be seen and after, two large Pokeys with item boxes directly next to them.

The darker off-road sand causes karts to slow down or immobilize the vehicle. If the player goes too far into the dark brown sand, [[Lakitu]] will take the kart away from the dangerous sands.

Dry Dry Desert makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the first course of the [[Banana Cup]]. The structure serving as the starting banner has been slightly updated, now featuring four flags and only one ''Mario Kart'' logo instead of three. The course now features a more slope-like design, and the palm trees and advertisement boards have switched positions. The characters that were carved in stone have been removed. All of the statues, including the [[Hammer Bros. Sphinx|Sphinx]], have been reworked to resemble [[Hammer Bro]]s., with the latter sporting a [[Wiggler]] headdress. The large open portion of the end of the track has been turned into an oasis allowing players to [[Underwater driving|drive underwater]] and perform tricks from holes with rising jets (similar to [[Dolphin Shoals]]). Because of this, only the [[Pokey]]s on the S-turns at the start of the course (which now sport their current design) are present. Falling pillars from [[Wii Dry Dry Ruins|Dry Dry Ruins]] are also seen in this course. The [[tornado]], [[Pit Plant]], and [[Big Pokey]]s have been removed (with the Pit Plant being replaced by Lakitu, who pulls the player out of the pit).


===Staff ghost===
Dry Dry Desert also appears on some of the posters for the [[Galaxy Air]] sponsor in [[Sunshine Airport]]. In ''Mario Kart 8'', this course is one of the eight selectable battle courses.
In order to unlock the staff ghost, the player must finish the course in 1:53.00 in Time Trial. The ghost revealed is [[Birdo]] and [[Yoshi]] driving the [[Turbo Yoshi]].

Dry Dry Desert is the fourth and last race course of the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It reappears as a classic course in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the first course of the Banana Cup, as well as a battle course in Mario Kart 8.

This is the first course in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! that is not owned by a character or characters. It is also one of three courses in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! to have unique music which is not shared with any other course, the others being Sherbet Land and Rainbow Road.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]

Course layout[edit]

Dry Dry Desert
Bird's eye view of Dry Dry Desert in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

The track starts crossing a stone arch where the starting line is located. The course is located in a burning desert containing many Egyptian-themed elements like pyramids, obelisks showing pictures of multiple characters carved in the stone, and large stone statues. Usually, there is a straight path where the finish line is; Dry Dry Desert is no different. After the straight dirt path is a curve to the right. The roads twists moderately with some Pokeys to the left and right. The player may use a Mushroom to cut through the sand in this area, but has to watch out for the collapsed obelisks acting as speed bumps, which may slow the player down if they plan to cut through this area. There is also a large tornado that roams the track in the reverse direction, and can suck up racers into the sky.

After the twisty road is a curve right facing towards an oasis, which splits into two branches. In the center of the fork is a giant sand pit, which lures any racer into the center of it. If the players reaches the bottom, they are eaten by the Pit Plant lying in the center of the pit, similar to straying off course or falling. The fork winds around this circular pit.

After the pit are two statues and a curve right. Two Pokeys are standing next to each other with a Double Item Box occupying in between the two Pokeys. There is a turn right after the two Pokeys and the Item Box, which leads into an enlarged area with many dunes, often with Item Boxes on top of them. One Big Pokey can first be seen and after, two Big Pokeys with Item Boxes directly next to them.

Past this part is a curve right that leads straight, until the course starts again, which is the finish line. More obelisks and a sphinx can be seen in the background while the player is turning right into the straight path that leads into the finish line.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

GCN Dry Dry Desert in Mario Kart 8

Dry Dry Desert makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as the first course of the Banana Cup. The structure serving as the starting banner has been slightly updated, now featuring four flags and only one Mario Kart logo instead of three. The course now features a more slope-like design, and the palm trees and advertisement boards have switched positions. The characters that were carved in stone have been removed. All of the statues, including the Sphinx, have been reworked to resemble Hammer Bros., with the latter sporting a Wiggler headdress. The large open portion of the end of the track has been turned into an oasis allowing players to drive underwater and perform tricks from holes with rising jets (similar to Dolphin Shoals). Because of this, only the Pokeys on the S-turns at the start of the course (which now sport their current design) are present. Falling pillars from Dry Dry Ruins are also seen in this course. The tornado, Pit Plant, and Big Pokeys have been removed (with the Pit Plant being replaced by Lakitu, who pulls the player out of the pit).

Dry Dry Desert also appears on some of the posters for the Galaxy Air sponsor in Sunshine Airport. In Mario Kart 8, this course is one of the eight selectable battle courses.

Shortcuts[edit]

  • After getting out of the water, it is possible to skip the turn by turning right and using Mushrooms or a Star.

Profiles[edit]

Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]

  • North American website bio: Kick up some dust in Dry Dry Desert – but watch out for the sand traps. Beware of the roving tornado, or you'll get caught up in the excitement.
  • European website bio: Dodge the kart-spinning cyclones and deadly pools of quicksand, and don’t be distracted by hieroglyphics of Mario and co.

Mario Kart 8[edit]

  • Mario Kart Facebook page (United States): The mysterious (and some say cursed) Hammer Bros. Sphinx looms over hapless kart drivers in Dry Dry Desert in Mario Kart 8. Take a lap … if you dare.[2]

Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack liner notes[edit]

With the HD graphics, the sense of a parched bone-dry desert has become even more pronounced than in the last Mario Kart title, and we arranged the music to reflect this. The insistent feel of the melody is meant to represent the ever-lovable Pokeys.
