Desert Hills

From Mario Kart Racing Wiki

Desert Hills is the first track of the Flower Cup in Mario Kart DS. It is a plain desert and is one of the few tracks to have Pokeys. When a racer touches a Pokey, the flip to the side and drop their items. CPU racers sometimes may get hit by a Pokey, when the Pokey continues moving in their direction, continuously flipping them over and slowing them down greatly. It is also the first track to feature Fire Snakes (the second being Grumble Volcano). If you touch a Fire Snake, you spin around. The sand here slows the drivers sharply. In a similar vein to Airship Fortress, this track is inspired by World 2, Desert Land, in Super Mario Bros. 3 (which is also known as Desert Hill). This course belongs to R.O.B. in Mario Kart DS.

This track returns as a Retro Stage in Mario Kart Wii.
