The Sunbaked Desert is the fourth world in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It is an arid desert with white sands and a large palace which houses many levels. Some levels are mirages the player must walk close to in order to reveal, and others are covered in sand that the player must run into to remove, revealing the level. The world map contains a puzzle where the player must stand on three buttons with ? Block symbols to open a door leading to an optional level.
Upon first visit, the Sunbaked Desert is near-completely devoid of water save for a small oasis near the southwest corner of the world, owed to Bowser Jr. hoarding the palace's water supply for a pool party. After clearing Sunbaked Desert Palace for the first time, the castle's wells start flowing again, returning the water to the desert.
This world contains yellow Wonder Flowers and Wonder Seeds, with a total of 36 Wonder Seeds and one Royal Seed to collect, the most Wonder Seeds out of any other world in the game.
Levels
The Sunbaked Desert contains 21 levels, a Poplin house, and two Poplin Shops, one of which is hidden.

Trivia
- The theming of this world appears to be inspired by gypsum sand dunes (which in real life are most prominent in White Sands National Park in the US state of New Mexico) due to the white color of the sand.
