Yoshi Desert makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting from the [[Yoshi Tour (2023)|2023 Yoshi Tour]]. Various architecture such as pillars, arches, and the pyramids are much closer to the course rather than being limited to just the background. Cacti and billboards with sponsors have also been added to the course. A starting banner, made of damaged pillars and using the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo, is added. The time of day has also been changed to sunrise, much like [[N64 Yoshi Valley]] and [[DS Airship Fortress]]. Most of the turns are preserved, but the track is shaped very differently in proportions compared to the original, as the top half of the course's layout has been elongated; the first lake has also been incorporated into a new split path, and the road next to it has a trickable ramp. Two falling pillars have been added before the first oasis. All Piranha Plants in the quicksand pits are now visible, which are now reduced from seven of the original to just three. The oasis shortcut has been changed a bit, now lacking a ramp. Despite this, a Mushroom is still required to use it. Like other ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' courses that hadn't received new music compositions, this course received a new rendition of its music, notably replacing the synth bass with a simple pulse waveform, but retaining the Yoshi vocals, which are now reused from ''[[Super Mario World]]''. Unlike the GBA courses introduced prior in ''Tour'', the colored blocks follow the pattern of the SNES courses instead. | |||
This course also appears as '''Yoshi Desert R''' (reversed), '''Yoshi Desert T''' (with ramps), and as '''Yoshi Desert R/T''' (reversed with ramps). In the T variant, no pillars fall onto the track, and there are two Piranha Plants in pipes. In the R/T variant, there are several water geysers along the track, including two at the end which come out of pipes. | |||

Yoshi Desert is the third course of the Star Cup in Mario Kart: Super Circuit. In this course, there are pyramids and a Yoshi Sphinx statue in the background. About the track, there are cacti and quicksand zones, where Piranha Plants wait to prey on any kart that falls in. There are also two oases, and at the second, the player can use a Star or Mushrooms to make a shortcut. The course has a few Dash Panels, which can either help the player or make the player lose control.
The Yoshi Sphinx that appears in this course appeared multiple times after, the first time being in Dry Dry Ruins in Mario Kart Wii. Later, in Paper Mario: Sticker Star, the sphinx appears as a location that Mario visits rather than a background detail. The background music for the course is heavily Arabic-inspired, using a double harmonic scale for the majority of its main melody. A modified version of the sound effect emitted by Yoshi in older Super Mario games plays in time with the music throughout the song. This is made more obvious in the Mario Kart Tour arrangement.
The course later makes its debut as a classic course in Mario Kart Tour, starting from the 2023 Yoshi Tour.
Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]
Course layout[edit]
The track starts on a small straightaway with a short left turn. A series of S-turns follow, with a Dash Panel shortly after the first wide turn. After the S turns is a somewhat wider area with quicksand pits on the off-road sections, small ramps near the beginning and a large group of Coins in the wider area. An oasis is located to the left of this area. After the wider area is a right hand turn with more quicksand pits to the side and another large right hand U turn. Following this turn is a longer straightaway with a few coins and ramps. Another right hand U turn is after the straight path leading to another sharp U turn. At the end of the U turn is another oasis, with the track going around it. After the oasis is the final straightaway leading to the finish. The course's layout is very similar to Sunset Wilds.
Shortcuts[edit]
- At the beginning of the turn at the second oasis is a ramp going over the oasis. The player can use a Mushroom to jump the oasis. A quicksand pit is located before the ramp.
Mario Kart Tour[edit]
Yoshi Desert makes its classic course debut in Mario Kart Tour, starting from the 2023 Yoshi Tour. Various architecture such as pillars, arches, and the pyramids are much closer to the course rather than being limited to just the background. Cacti and billboards with sponsors have also been added to the course. A starting banner, made of damaged pillars and using the classic Mario Kart logo, is added. The time of day has also been changed to sunrise, much like N64 Yoshi Valley and DS Airship Fortress. Most of the turns are preserved, but the track is shaped very differently in proportions compared to the original, as the top half of the course's layout has been elongated; the first lake has also been incorporated into a new split path, and the road next to it has a trickable ramp. Two falling pillars have been added before the first oasis. All Piranha Plants in the quicksand pits are now visible, which are now reduced from seven of the original to just three. The oasis shortcut has been changed a bit, now lacking a ramp. Despite this, a Mushroom is still required to use it. Like other Mario Kart: Super Circuit courses that hadn't received new music compositions, this course received a new rendition of its music, notably replacing the synth bass with a simple pulse waveform, but retaining the Yoshi vocals, which are now reused from Super Mario World. Unlike the GBA courses introduced prior in Tour, the colored blocks follow the pattern of the SNES courses instead.
This course also appears as Yoshi Desert R (reversed), Yoshi Desert T (with ramps), and as Yoshi Desert R/T (reversed with ramps). In the T variant, no pillars fall onto the track, and there are two Piranha Plants in pipes. In the R/T variant, there are several water geysers along the track, including two at the end which come out of pipes.
