Sand Ocean

Sand Ocean is a desolate planet whose entire surface is covered in sand dunes. This planet's extremely arid frontier planet was thought to have been completely void of human life for many years. However, F-Zero GX revealed that ruins of a 30,000-year-old civilization was found deep within the desert along with a monstrous alien lifeform by a fearless adventurer. This resulted in the planet becoming one of the most popular tourist destinations in the galaxy.

Sand Ocean appeared once in the original F-Zero game as part of the Knight Cup. It is a somewhat medium sized track. In F-Zero X it appears three times: once as a simple pipe course, once as an undulating course with a tunnel and once as a cylinder course with two loops. It also appears twice in F-Zero GX. Surface Slide is a basic track with "S" turns. Lateral Shifts requires you to shift your machine to the left or right to avoid falling off the course. It appears in F-Zero GP Legend 3 times: Caterpillar is based on Lateral Shift from F-Zero GX, Caterpillar II is a harder variation of Caterpillar, and Sand Ocean (SNES version) appears as a track in the Platinum Cup.

Ikran's F-Zero timeline
It was mentioned that Tinsel raced there during the Knight League in the original Grand Prix, as well as mastering the drift technique sooner than Rick and her other friends in the Task Force.

It was also featured in Ending it All, when Tinsel has competed in the Literal Gaps circuit during a sandstorm. She won second while the Furikakes, Gomar & Shioh, won first in their own Twin Noritta.
