'''Yold Desert''' is an area in the [[Lineland]] dimension from ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. Throughout the desert, the [[Ancients]] left clues on how to advance and eventually reach the [[Yold Ruins]] deep within the sandy wasteland. The name "Yold" is a corruption of a combination of ''the'' and ''old''. This level is notable for having the first boss battle in the game, against [[O'Chunks]].

After learning from a statue of [[Fracktail]] to jump ten times while beneath a red palm tree (this wasn't his first dealings with such a tree; he had to spin around one in [[Dry Dry Outpost]] earlier in ''[[Paper Mario]]''), Mario encountered none other than [[Count Bleck]]'s burliest minion, O'Chunks.  The two did battle, but Mario emerged the victor thanks to the help of [[Thoreau]].

Eventually after following the guidance of one or two additional statues, Mario found a blue altar.  Thanks to the [[Player|player]]'s pressing of the 1 and - buttons at the same time, the entrance to the Yold Ruins was revealed in the form of a slider puzzle.  This too wasn't new to Mario; the opening of the gate was similar to the [[Eagle Gate]]s from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

==Trivia==
*The Yold Desert's name derives from a corruption of a combination of ''the'' and ''old'', followed by ''desert'', which is what it is.  Part of its name may have driven inspiration from the Yoll Graveyard from ''The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages'' and, though less likely, Yarna Desert from ''The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening''.
*The entrance to the Yold Ruins is a reference to the [[Hawkmouth]]s from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.
