"Yoshi Desert"[1] is an Arabic-inspired musical theme in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, where it plays in the race course of the same name. The theme uses a double harmonic scale for the majority of its main melody. A modified version of the sound effect emitted by Yoshi originating in Super Mario World plays in time with the beat throughout the theme.
