Overview

Sahara Hideout is a custom track made by ZPL Gaming, IEF◇Spyro and Golden RS, formerly known as "Palmtree Desert". It was created back in March 2018 and was left until October 2018, when IEF◇Spyro decided to remake the track using the original model while adding new elements and features. The track is located in a desert with floating islands and waterfalls streaming down from lava above the track. It also contains an abandoned temple which you drive through, with Thwomps and Piranha Plants scattered around the track to make shortcuts harder. It is inspired by Spike Desert and Strobenz Desert II.

• YoshTaku, for the item box and Thwomp textures for the Nether version.
