'''Desert Hills''' is the first race course of the [[Flower Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. Elements of the track are based on [[Desert Land]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. [[Pokey]]s roam around the desert and the [[Angry Sun]] will drop [[Fire Snake]]s on the track. Both of these elements act as obstacles on the course. The course also has sharper turns and more intense slopes than previous tracks in the game, bringing up the difficulty for the Flower Cup.

===Course layout===
===Course layout===
The track starts near an oasis with a small lake where one can sink in the water. The first Pokey can be seen in front of the starting line here as well. To the right of the first turn, the track partially surrounds a pyramid made out of [[Brick Block]]s. One of the other Pokeys is on this turn. There is then a field of dunes, with many more Pokeys roaming within it. The course has a few sharp turns at the end of each lap before approaching the finish line (with Lakitu shown on the left side of the player, holding the lap count signs to begin a new lap). The dark sand portion of the track is an out-of-bounds area, so if the player touches it, [[Lakitu]] will bring them back to the track.

===Missions===
===Missions===
There are two missions that take place here: 2-6 and 4-4.
There are two [[Mario Kart DS#Missions|missions]] that take place on Desert Hills, both of which the player controls [[Wario]]:
In mission 2-6, the player must use the Bob-ombs to destroy 5 Pokeys, and in mission 4-4, the player must pass the 7 numbered gates in order. The player uses [[Wario]] in both missions.
*'''Mission 2-6''': The player must use [[Bob-omb]]s to take out all 5 Pokeys within 55 seconds.
*'''Mission 4-4''': The player must pass through 7 gates within 45 seconds. Along the way, each Item Box contains [[Triple Mushrooms]].

Desert Hills returns in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the first course of the [[Leaf Cup]]. The course received improved graphics, like most other retro courses in ''Mario Kart Wii''. Few other changes have been made in the this version of this track aside from the visual improvements; [[Kart]]s now spin out instead of flipping when making contact with Pokeys and the course map has been rotated 180 degrees in contrast to its predecessor.
Desert Hills makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'' as the first course of the [[Leaf Cup]]. The course received improved graphics, like most other retro courses in ''Mario Kart Wii''. The starting banner was recolored to blue and now displays the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo. Few other changes have been made in the this version of this track aside from the visual improvements; [[Kart]]s now spin out instead of flipping when making contact with Pokeys and the course map has been rotated 180 degrees in contrast to its predecessor.


If players use mushrooms, they can go over many of this course's walls, skipping sections entirely.

Like in ''Mario Kart DS'', when the player crosses the finish line to begin a new lap, Lakitu is shown on the left side of the player, holding the lap count signs.
===Tournaments===
===Tournament===
[[List of Mario Kart Wii tournaments#December 2009 Tournament 1|December 2009's first tournament]] required players to take out 10 [[Pokey]]s on Desert Hills. The whole track has more Pokeys than before, and players can make use of Item Boxes that either contain a [[Super Star|Star]] or contain [[Triple Green Shells]].
A single tournament took place on this track. Players had to defeat 10 [[Pokey]]s with [[Super Star|Star]]s and [[Triple Green Shells]] as quickly as possible. It was the first tournament of December 2009.
