Dry Dry Desert is a race course found Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, the fourth and last stage of the Mushroom Cup. The course is located in a burning desert containing many Egyptian-themed elements like pyramids around, obeliscs showing Mario and friends carved in the stone and archs with large stone statues. The track also includes a pool of quicksand that pulls karts to the bottom of the pit where a large Quicksand Piranha Plant waits the infortunate racers to be devoured, calling Lakitu for rescue. Other obstacle are Pokeys along the course, bending their bodies that cause players to spin out of control when touching them. A Tweester runs along the course in the opposite way racers go on the track, lifting anything on the ground to the air.
Layout
The track starts crossing a stone arch where the starting line is located. Taking the first turn to the right, a winding path filled with obeliscs and some Pokeys scattered over rough soil. Taking to the right again, the track leads to an oasis surrounging a large quicksand pool, where the Piranha Plant resides. Only running around it, players prevent to be pulled by the sand to the bottom, although it is possible to get out of the quicksand using drifting. After passing the oasis, a wide field filled with Pokeys and dunes is seen, where players reach the line after beating all the obstacles in the course.
Additionally, players shouldn't go into rhough soil. This only cause karts to slow down or also immobilize completely the vehicle, bringing Lakitu to take the kart away from the dangerous sands.
Staff Ghost
In Mario Kart: Double Dash!! it is possible to unlock the staff ghost within the course in Time Trial mode as the player must complete the race in one minute, 53 second or less. The ghost revealed is Birdo and Yoshi driving the Turbo Yoshi.
Official Descriptions
- Official Australian Website: "Dodge the kart-spinning cyclones and deadly pools of quicksand, and don’t be distracted by hieroglyphics of Mario and co."
- Official Website: "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."
