Bone-Dry Dunes

Bone-Dry Dunes

Bone-Dry Dunes is a circuit located in the Koopa Kingdom's bone-filled wasteland and it serves as second race track in the Special Cup from Mario Kart 8.

The track is a wasteland with canyons sand rivers and filled by giant bones. Wooden windmills out of track, blue cloths tied in giant bones, torches, papper lanters with column pieces, wooden fences, colorful cloths and a giant Dry Bowser skull. The roads is made from cement all cracked, full with sand and walkboards made by wood and ribs.

The racers begins with a right turn where should divert in a Dry Piranha Plant and 2 Dry Bones. The audience is Shy Guys and Toads watching the race in ships and tents.

There are a higher and a lower path to choose. The higher path is a narrow and rather short wooden catwalk. Sometimes the glider will not allow racers to go here.

Item Boxes can be found on the higher path.

The lower one is the soil of the cave. Inside it, some Dry Bones wander around on the road. A left turn marks the exit of the cave right before the finish line.
