The Hammer Bros. Sphinx, as seen in GCN Dry Dry Desert in Mario Kart 8

The Hammer Bros. Sphinx[sic][1] is a landmark based on the Great Sphinx of Giza that can be seen in desert-themed courses of the Mario Kart series. It only ever appears as a background element, alongside other statues with Hammer Bro visages. It is speculated to be cursed.[1]

History

Mario Kart series

The Hammer Bros. Sphinx first appears in the Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe rendition of GCN Dry Dry Desert, replacing the generic sphinx from the course's Mario Kart: Double Dash!! version. It is located near the bend immediately after the oasis segment of the course. The statue returns in the Mario Kart Tour rendition of Wii Dry Dry Ruins, located in the vicinity of the branching path between the finish line and the oasis; here, it replaces a Yoshi sphinx from the Mario Kart Wii version of the course.

Mario Tennis Aces

Small statues based on the Hammer Bros. Sphinx adorn the surroundings of the Bask Ruins court in Mario Tennis Aces.
