Master the Dry Dry Ruins in Mario Kart Wii with our comprehensive walkthrough. Learn shortcuts, tips for trick jumps, and expert strategies for time trials.
Walkthrough
- 1Start with a long, wide right drift turn that leads down to a bridge with broken edges. Stick to the middle of the bridge and the subsequent S-bend.
- 2After the S-bend, you'll encounter a straight section before a tunnel. The tunnel has collapsed pillars on either side, which can be used for trick jumps.
- 3As you enter the temple, drive through the bats (hitting them has minimal penalty). You can use the quarter trick pipe for a boost or simply drive across the small sand section.
- 4After two right turns, you'll reach an open area with a sand pit in the center. You can drive across this pit on the first lap, but you must go around it on subsequent laps.
- 5Following another section with bats, you'll find two consecutive booster ramps. A quick left turn followed by an easy right turn will lead you to the finish line.
Shortcuts:
- In the final corner after the two booster ramps, if you have an item, you can use it to boost straight past the corner towards the start/finish line.
Other Tips:
- Sand gradually fills parts of the course as laps increase, so stay on the main paths and be observant.
- The collapsed pillars outside the tunnel can be used for trick jumps. This is particularly useful in the middle S-bend, which can be driven straight across as a result of a well-timed trick.
- The bats at the start and exit of the temple barely slow you down if hit, so feel free to drive through them.
Time Trial Tips:
- On the second and third laps, take full advantage of the fallen columns to perform trick jumps.
- Use a mushroom boost across the sand as you enter the temple. If used too late, you might crash into the end wall, so turn into the corner early before activating it. While saving a mushroom for the final corner shortcut might be tempting, using the quarter pipe inside the temple provides a greater time advantage and is better utilized there.
