Dry Dry Desert is a track in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. It reappeared in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

In Mario Kart: Double Dash!![]

Dry Dry Desert is the fourth track of the Mushroom Cup in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. The track is based on the Sahara Desert in Egypt, featuring pyramids as well as Egyptian-style music. The entire track is a yellow, sandy road. The darkest sand farthest from the track is considered "out-of-bounds" and Lakitu will carry the player back to the track if that point is reached. (There is a cutscene that plays where the offending kart jams before the screen fades to black.)

It features Pokeys as moving obstacles that cause spinouts when bumped. The Pokeys will bend to form dangerous arches over Item Boxes on the track. If hit by a Starman or some Special items though, they will topple over, respawning shortly after. Also featured is a tornado that will move along the track sucking up racers and items. There is also a large sand funnel that should be driven around quickly, as it will easily suck the player in, and they will end up getting chomped by a giant Piranha Plant-like monster.

Players can use Stars, Mushrooms, or Golden Mushrooms to make huge shortcuts across the sand.

In Mario Kart 8/Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[]

This track returns as a Retro Track in the Banana Cup. Part of the track is submerged, while the tornado and the monster that lurks within the sand funnel and emerges each time racers fall into the funnel have been removed. The inner out-of-bounds area has been raised by a plateau, rendering it inaccessible. A Koopa Paratroopa group watches the race this time.
