Dry Dry Ruins (course)

Dry Dry Ruins is a desert-like area and the first course of the Special Cup in Mario Kart Wii. It could be a track associated with Yoshi due to it having three Yoshi sphinxes. Since the 2023 Ninja Tour, the course has also made an appearance in Mario Kart Tour.
==Layout==
There are Pokeys here scattered across the track. There is also a lot of sand here that slow racers down. Some pillars here fall from time to time, which racers can do aerial tricks on them. You go inside a ruins site. There are bats all over and Pokey hieroglyphs on the walls. Inside, the music changes, and there are some halfpipes. There is a giant bowl with two Pokeys in it. Sand slowly falls and fills it up, forcing racers to take a longer route in the third lap. This place resembles Dry Dry Desert and Desert Hills from Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart DS as all three are desert courses.
==Shortcuts==
For the first and second laps, use two Dash Mushrooms. For the final lap, use one. By the third Lap, there is a column that has fallen over towards the first set of Pokeys. You need to avoid the bridge and use the mushroom there.
