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 [[Pokey]]s 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. | The track starts crossing a stone arch where the starting line is located.

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. | Past this part is a curve right that leads straight, until the course starts again, which is the finish line.

Dry Dry Desert | 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). | ||
