So much for being an oasis. There's a ferocious sandstorm in the area and visibility is low. Periodically, something that looks like a comet piece will blow by. If you walk into the wind, you'll find a sign that reads: "in ... hills .. Dry... ..sert sand ..... ..tween ... striped ..... .... no fear and .... .." I can deciper: "in the hills of Drybake Desert sand .... between the striped ..... have no fear and .... .." Better than nothing. Up ahead is a cyclone. We can place a sticker nearby. I'm guessing either the Fan or the Vacuum. Further to the right is a Toad braving the sandstorm, saying that the legend of the hidden oasis must be true. Ahead is a path and further still another sign, saying, ".. the ..... of ...bake De.... .... flows be..... two ...... cacti show .. .... ... jump in"
That combined with the other sign says, "in the hills of Drybake Desert sand flows between two striped cacti show no fear and jump in." Soon we run into the same Toad again. Looks like we're going in circles. Let's go to Drybake Desert and find those two cacti.
The two striped cacti are on the hill of sliding quicksand, at the top of the hill, towards the screen. Jump over the small rocks and walk down the quicksand, where you'll see them towards the right. You'll drop into a room with more Pokeys and quicksand. At the top is a chest like the one on the Yoshi Sphinx's tongue. It, too, contains a tablet piece. Take the sandpillar outside.
Use the Vacuum near the cyclone to clear it up. The Vacuum will also pick up the comet piece and let it go. Visibility returns to normal and we can move forward. Toad is over by the sign and is upset we found the oasis first. He says he deciphered the sign first, so he'll find something special first. He runs off. Nearby is the comet piece. This opens the path to 2-1. Wait, that's it? Let's check out the oasis.
There is a door drawn on one of the rocks. The Secret Door leads to the Hair Shears. In the oasis, there is a Toad panting. He said the area was an oasis until Bowser dried up the water. The door to the only building is locked. We need a large sticker in front of the large blue pot. The Faucet might help things, so we go to 1-3 to get one. Once we place it, a tidal wave of water rushes in and returns the oasis to a lush, tropical paradise. Toad floats in on a pool toy on the sparkling waters. He's very relaxed. The building's now unlocked. Inside his wardrobe is another chest. Yet another Tablet Piece. Check the blinds over the bed to go outside. On the roof is Shaved Ice. How it hasn't melted is beyond me. Look's like we're done here.
And that makes 1,000 posts.
