Faraway Oasis is the second race course of the Shell Cup in Mario Kart World. It is also the final destination of the Moon Rally and the fourth checkpoint of the Cloud 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 both DK's Jungle Parkway and a mirrored Riverside 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 and Conkdor can be unlocked here with the Kamek item.
Outside of Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, this is the first new course in the series' history to be in the Shell Cup.
Course layout[edit]
Routes[edit]
There are two distinct paths that enter Faraway Oasis, depending on the route taken to reach the course. Traveling from Crown City, Koopa Troopa Beach, Dino Dino Jungle, Cheep Cheep Falls, or Peach Stadium has the racers enter from after the final turn, just before the starting line. Travelling from Peach Beach, Salty Salty Speedway, or Great ? Block Ruins has the racers travel under the large jump on the course, jump onto the waterfall at the end, then traverse the final corner of the regular course before starting the final lap. Faraway Oasis can be reached from any course in the Banana Cup using routes in VS Race.
The routes both ways between Crown City and Faraway Oasis take place on Crown Bridge, which includes a few large trucks for drivers to hijack. Different animals will appear on routes in both directions depending on which other course Faraway Oasis is connected to or nearby. In all cases, the animals run in the same direction as the drivers.
- With Cheep Cheep Falls and Salty Salty Speedway, buffaloes will appear.
- With Peach Beach and Great ? Block Ruins, giraffes will appear. From Great ? Block Ruins, crocodiles will also appear.
- With Crown City and Peach Stadium, both giraffes and ostriches will appear.
- With Dino Dino Jungle and Koopa Troopa Beach, zebras and elephants will appear. With Koopa Troopa Beach, armadillos will also appear.
- The route from Great ? Block Ruins to Koopa Troopa Beach passes near Faraway Oasis and includes giraffes, elephants, and zebras.

Notes[edit]
- The music in this track uses a 12
8 time signature, a trait shared with the music from Thwomp Ruins, Athens Dash, and Salty Salty Speedway. - Similarly to Starview Peak and Moo Moo Meadows, the filename for this course's sticker on the website for Mario Kart World suggests that this course is internally named after DK's Jungle Parkway. The reason for this is unknown.
