Thwomp Desert.
Thwomp Desert is a Battle Course in Mario Kart Wii game for Nintendo Wii.
Drivers battle in the middle of a quicksand pit surrounded by cacti, which players are gradually sucked down to the center of the pit. Although, out of the quicksand trap seems secure, Item Boxes appear near the center of the pit. Players can prevent being sucked by using the power sliding, as well as jumping on the buried remains of Thwomps near the trap. Sometimes, a Thwomp rams into the ground, crushing players under it, while it makes waves on the quicksand pit after impact. Getting sucked into the center of the pit will result with you being sucked up, and Lakitu having to come and get the player. Hitting the cacti hurts the player as if touched by fire.
Trivia
- Players fight a giant Pokey on this course on October 2008's 1st competition.
