Faraway Oasis is the second race course of theShell Cup inMario Kart World. It is also the final destination of theMoon Rally and the fourth checkpoint of theCloud Rally. Set within a large savannah near the southern forest region of the game's map, the course is populated by various animals such as elephants, zebras, and giraffes. It is located in the southeast section of the world map. The track's layout bears similarities to bothDK's Jungle Parkway and a mirroredRiverside Park, and is internally named after the former. The connection with the latter, however, is more overt in the Japanese version, where the course is named "Riverside Safari".Pianta andConkdor can be unlocked here with theKamek item.
Outside ofMario Kart Live: Home Circuit, this is the firstnew course in the series' history to be in the Shell Cup along withCrown City andPeach Stadium.
Course layout[edit]
Racers start at a building called Toad's Wharf. Racers then turn right, briefly go across muddy water, go up a curved wooden platform, then onto long rock. Racers jump off this rock onto a second rock with a rail in the center, then a second wooden platform that leads down, eventually going into the clean river. To the right hand side of the water are the animals that can appear during routes. On the left hand side of the river is a third wooden platform that can be used as an alternate route. Both the river and the platform lead into a cave, then onto a waterfall, before turning left back to Toad's Wharf.

Notes[edit]
- The music in this course uses a12
8 time signature, a trait shared with the music fromThwomp Ruins,Athens Dash, andSalty Salty Speedway. - Similarly toStarview Peak andMoo Moo Meadows, the filename for this course's sticker on the website forMario Kart World suggests that this course is internally named afterDK's Jungle Parkway. The reason for this is unknown, but the route of this course is similar to DK's Jungle Parkway.
