GBA Yoshi Desert: Difference between revisions

The Yoshi Sphinx that appears in this course appeared multiple times after, the first time being in [[Wii Dry Dry Ruins|Dry Dry Ruins]] in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. Later, in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', the sphinx appears as [[Yoshi Sphinx|a location]] that Mario visits rather than a background detail. The background music for the course is heavily Arabic-inspired, using a double harmonic scale for the majority of its main melody. A modified version of the sound effect emitted by Yoshi in older ''Super Mario'' games plays in time with the music throughout the song.

Yoshi Desert makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting from the [[Yoshi Tour (2023)|2023 Yoshi Tour]]. Various architecture such as pillars, arches, and the pyramids are much closer to the course rather than being limited to just the background. Cacti and billboards with sponsors have also been added to the course. A starting banner, made of damaged pillars and using the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo, is added. The time of day has also been changed to sunrise, much like [[N64 Yoshi Valley]] and [[DS Airship Fortress]]. Most of the turns are preserved, but the track is shaped very differently in proportions compared to the original, as the top half of the course's layout has been elongated; the first lake has also been incorporated into a new split path, and the road next to it has a trickable ramp. Two falling pillars have been added before the first oasis. All Piranha Plants in the quicksand pits are now visible, which are now reduced from seven of the original to just three. The oasis shortcut has been changed a bit, now lacking a ramp. Despite this, a Mushroom is still required to use it. Like other ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' courses that hadn't received new music compositions, this course received a new rendition of its music, notably replacing the synth bass with a simple pulse waveform, but retaining the Yoshi vocals, which are now reused from ''[[Super Mario World]]''.  

This course also appears as '''Yoshi Desert R''' (reversed), '''Yoshi Desert T''' (with ramps), and as '''Yoshi Desert R/T''' (reversed with ramps).
