'''Rainbow Road''' is the fourth and last course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. The course has once again increased in length compared to previous renditions, but still shares a similar theme to its [[Wii Rainbow Road|predecessor]]. Instead of floating above the atmosphere, it now takes place around the [[Moon]], with several small asteroids in the background. As a result, unlike past Rainbow Roads, this incarnation features the player driving on off-road surfaces such as the Moon itself and rings of {{wp|Saturn}}. It is the first Rainbow Road course to contain one lap divided into three sections, being followed by {{classic link|N64|Rainbow Road}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. Due to its length, it is one of the longest courses in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, and as such is also one of the longest Rainbow Roads in the series; however, the iteration of Rainbow Road in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' takes more time to complete, as it is three laps long instead of one.


This Rainbow Road returns as a [[classic course]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', debuting in the [[Holiday Tour (2019)|2019 Holiday Tour]]. It is one of only two courses in the game to have three laps or sections (the other being [[GCN Baby Park|GCN Baby Park T]]). It also returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the fourth and final course of the [[Moon Cup]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''.
'''Rainbow Road''' is the last course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. The course has once again increased in length compared to previous renditions, but still shares a similar theme as its [[Rainbow Road (Wii)|predecessor]]. Instead of floating above the atmosphere, it now takes place around the [[Moon]] and consist of few small asteroids in the background. This incarnation of Rainbow Road, along with the tracks [[Wuhu Loop]] and [[Maka Wuhu]], only has one lap instead of three. It is divided into three sections to resemble laps, with banners at the end of each section. This is the only course with three sections in ''Mario Kart 7'' to not take place on [[Wuhu Island]]. It was the only Rainbow Road with this trait until [[Rainbow Road (N64)|<small>N64</small> Rainbow Road]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''.


==''Mario Kart 7''==
Unlike past Rainbow Roads, this incarnation features the player driving on off-road surfaces such as the Moon itself and rings of a planetoid resembling [[wikipedia:Saturn|Saturn]].
Along with [[Wuhu Loop]] and [[Maka Wuhu]], Rainbow Road only has one lap instead of three. It is divided into three sections to resemble laps. The truss at the start-and-finish line displays the ''Mario Kart'' logo with dynamic rainbow. The start of the second section has a truss displaying two dynamic rainbow stars. The truss at start of the third section displays three dynamic rainbow stars.


When performing a [[trick]] on this course, a slightly different sound effect will be produced when compared to other courses; the same applies to {{classic link|SNES|Rainbow Road}}.
*The first part has the drivers race on the rainbow tiles and the second part has them race on the rings of a planetoid for a short time.
*This part also brings them to the Moon with giant [[Chomp]]s coming out of the craters.
*The third and final part of the track returns to the rainbow tiles and features a gliding section that consists of numerous [[Ring (Mario Kart series)|rings]].


This course has the most Glide Ramps out of every ''Mario Kart'' course, with five. However, only the Glide Ramps going onto and off of the planet rings are mandatory.
The staff ghost is [[Honey Queen]] with the Birthday Girl, Slim tires, and Peach Parasol, and the expert staff ghost is Honey Queen with the Bumble V, Standard tires, and Flower Glider.
===Course layout===
[[File:RainbowRoadMK7StartLine.jpg|225px|thumb|left|The start of the track. The colors on the start-and-finish checkered line (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) constitute the four plates of the CMYK color model.]]
The race starts off with a short straightaway, following with a sharp turn to the right, then left, going around a planet. Afterward, there are three platforms that the drivers drive and jump off each one (similar to the area before the temple in [[3DS DK Jungle|DK Jungle]]). Next, players drive around another planet, but are spiraling down as they do so, with drop-offs allowing for tricks. The track then comes to a rainbow-spotted [[Mushroom Trampoline]], and then a sharp right turn. After the turn, players have the opportunity to snatch some item boxes and coins on a waving road (similar to ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'').


Section two starts off with another sharp turn followed by a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] which leads racers onto the rings of a Saturn-like planet. Players have to dodge holes in the rings before they then come to a section where they can hit some [[Dash Panel|dash panels]] for speed boosts. Players then activate their glider again after hitting the next glide ramp at the end of the rings. Once landing, players take three turns, all loaded with dash panels. Next, there is another wavy road, but this one has holes in it. Once the drivers make it through the wavy road or fall through, they land on the moon, where they need to dodge rolling [[Chain Chomp]]s, and they can trick off of craters. Though there's no water in the moon portion, its low gravity works identically to the physics of driving underwater, so sometimes players can fly far with just one trick.
This Rainbow Road appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' as a [[Rainbow Road (stage)|stage]]. The match takes place on flat platform and is a cruise-type stage similar to [[Port Town Aero Dive]]. [[Shy Guy]]s also appear as stage hazards similar to the [[F-Zero Racer]]s from Port Town Aero Dive and the Shy Guys from [[Figure-8 Circuit (stage)|Figure-8 Circuit]]. The original music for the track appears as one of the selectable songs for this stage and the [[Mario Circuit (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U)|Mario Circuit]] stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', as does an arranged version as part of "Rainbow Road Medley".


Section three starts with some conveyor belts that give little boosts, then leads into a [[Turning Floor]] with dash panels and glide ramps at the end. The track splits into two parts, then three, then two, before fusing back into one. This part is filled with ramps that can be used to go through rings for extra speed. If players hit a glide ramp, they have to dodge asteroids, but try to pass through rings at the same time. The track ends with a part that increases in altitude, then decreases again, leading to one small jump facing the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]].
This Rainbow Road returns as a retro track in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', being the only course in the game containing 3 sections instead of 2 laps.


[[File:RainbowRoadHiddenItemBoxes.jpg|thumb|The hidden Item Boxes]]
==Course layout==
There are three Item Boxes floating under the rings of the Saturn-like planetoid. It is possible to get one of these Item Boxes by gliding, but the player must get back on the track after getting it in order to use their item. However, it is quite difficult to do so without a [[Dash Mushroom|mushroom]].
[[File:RainbowRoadMK7StartLine.jpg|225px|thumb|left|The start of the track]]
The track starts of with a short straightaway, following with a sharp turn to the right, then left, going around a planet. Afterward, there are three platforms that the drivers drive and jump off each one (similar to area before the temple in [[DK Jungle (3DS)|DK Jungle]]). Next, players drive around another planet, but this time spiraling down. The track then comes to one bouncy mushroom, then a sharp right turn. After the turn, players have the opportunity to snatch some item boxes and coins on a waving road (similar to ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''). Section two starts off with a another sharp turn with a glider ramp, which activates the air glider to ride into of the rings of a Saturn-like planet. Players have to dodge holes, then try to hit some speed boosts. Players then activate their glider again after hitting the glider ramp. Once landing, players take three turns, all loaded with boost pads. Next, there is another wavy road, but this one has holes in it.


===Shortcuts===
Once the drivers make it through the wavy road or fall through, they land on the moon, where they need to dodge rolling [[Chomp]]s, and they can trick off of craters for little boosts. Though there's no water in the moon portion, its low gravity works exactly the same way as driving under water, so sometimes players can fly far enough by just one trick. Section three starts with some conveyor belts that give little boosts, then leads into a turning tunnel with [[Dash Panel]]s and [[Glide Ramp]]s at the end. The track splits into two parts, three, then two, then fuses back into one. This part is filled with ramps that can be used to go through rings for extra speed. If players hit a Glide Ramp, they have to dodge asteroids, but try to pass through rings at the same time. The track ends with a part that increases in altitude, then decrease which leads to one small jump, and to the [[Finish Line (object)|finish line]].
*The first turn of the second section can be skipped or taken tightly by drifting off the red and white striped side of the road.
 
*Time can be gained by repeatedly swooping far down below the planetoid’s ring and up again after the first [[Glider]] ramp.
==Music==
*Another [[Glider]] shortcut can be performed with the second [[Glider]] ramp by gliding off to the left back over the planet’s ring and landing after or on the second set of Dash Panels, skipping the turn.
Like in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', the music for the course contains a remix of ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Rainbow Road (N64)|Rainbow Road]]'s music.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9BrzEdtceU</ref> There are 2 different variations of this theme. The 1st variation plays while driving on the rainbow tiles, and the 2nd variation plays during the 2nd section when the player is driving on the moon. When the 3rd section is reached, the end of the music, which is the remix of the end of ''Mario Kart 64''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Rainbow Road plays first, instead of the start of the music. If the player turns around and goes back to the moon section after crossing the entrance to the 3rd section, the music will change to the final lap version of the 2nd variation of the theme, but only if the player enters it after hearing the final lap theme after moving onto the third section. The player will not hear the final lap version of the second variation of the theme if they reenter the moon before hearing the final lap version of the original variation, even if they already moved onto the third section.
*The last turn of the course can be skipped by drifting off the red and white striped side of the road and landing on the final straightaway.

This version of Rainbow Road makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[Holiday Tour (2019)|2019 Holiday Tour]]. Various changes have been made to the track - it is noticeably flatter overall, with several turns being far less banked. The start-and-finish truss is now formed by a rainbow arch with a gold half star surrounding it and displays the ''Mario Kart'' logo in cyan. The checkered line is now black and white, instead of magenta, yellow, cyan, and black. The other two trusses for the start of the second and third sections are also formed by a rainbow arch and display three golden stars. The rails on the race track are now formed by golden stars while the rails on the moon are now formed by cyan neon lights. The star-shaped rings are now silver and have disco balls at the corners pointing outwards, like the golden star-shaped ring on the rotating tunnel. The launch rings are now cyan, resembling the dash ring items. The curbs, located on the turn after the start of the second section and at the descending section before the jump to the stretch to the start-and-finish line, have been removed. The series of jumps following the first few turns have been aligned. The part between the mushroom trampoline and the start of the second section is now entirely wavy. At the turn after the start of the second section, the rails are placed on the left side of the track, instead of the right side. The series of turns following the second Glide Ramp have also been made tamer. The boost panel on the wavy section before the moon area has been replaced with a trick ramp. [[Toad (species)|Toads]] in space suits now appear as spectators next to the spaceships and the moon near the first turn is now a blue planet that resembles {{wp|Uranus}}, while {{wp|Jupiter}} replaces the second moon. After the start of the third section, the golden arches are replaced with star-shaped rings. When driving on the boost conveyors, the acceleration sound effect has been removed. The rail at the descending section before the jump to the stretch to the start-and-finish line has been removed. Plus, the jump ramp at the jump has been removed. [[Earth]] is also now visible in the background of the track, and the galaxy has been replaced by the {{wp|Andromeda Galaxy}}. The sun has also been moved to a spot that is visible from the Moon section.  
This version of Rainbow Road returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Various changes have been made to the track, the stars now have disco balls at the edges like the spinning one in the final section. The spinning star in the third section had its holes removed, the starting line now resembles a rainbow and has a star, and the moon near the first turn is now a blue planet. This course is favored by [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]], [[Birdo (species)|Birdo (Light Blue)]], [[Mario|Mario (Happi)]], and [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Aurora)]].


The course also appears as '''Rainbow Road R''' (reversed), '''Rainbow Road T''' (with ramps), and '''Rainbow Road R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the original in the 2019 Holiday Tour, while the latter debuted in the [[Baby Rosalina Tour]]. In all three variants, the rolling [[Chain Chomp]]s are gone. In the R and R/T variants, the gaps between paths where the path splits are now filled in by [[Kanaami Road]]. In the R variant, the moon section is cut short as racers use a cannon to glide up to the road, and racers can glide over the three platforms towards the end of the track. In the T and R/T variants, the starting line is now located in the split path section, making them two of five courses in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to not start in the same location as the original, the others being [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain|3DS Rock Rock Mountain T]], [[Singapore Speedway|Singapore Speedway R/T]] and [[Athens Dash|Athens Dash R/T]]. Additionally, the Turning Floor and both wavy parts of the road are completely gone. In the T variant, there are several more [[Mushroom Trampoline|mushroom trampolines]], and all three former gliding sections are also gone, but racers instead glide over the moon. In the R/T variant, racers glide over where the Turning Floor was.
===Holiday Tour===
In the [[Holiday Tour]], Rainbow Road appears as the third course in the [[Rosalina Cup]], the first course in the [[Baby Peach Cup]], the location of the challenge in the [[Luigi Cup]], the location of the challenge in the [[Dry Bones Cup]], and the location of the challenge in the [[Dry Bowser Cup]]. It also has a Reverse variant which appears as the third course in the [[Waluigi Cup]] and the first course in the [[Pauline Cup]], and a Trick variant which appears as the second course in the [[Wendy Cup]] and the third course in the [[Peachette Cup]].

==''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''==
===Mario Bros. Tour===
[[File:MK8-Course-3DS RainbowRoad.jpg|280px|thumb|right|The course as it appears in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'']]
In the [[Mario Bros. Tour]], Rainbow Road appears as the third course in the [[Rosalina Cup]]. Its reverse version appears as the second course of the [[Shy Guy Cup]] and the third course of the [[Daisy Cup]]. Its trick version also appears as the third course in the [[Ludwig Cup]].
This version of Rainbow Road makes its home console debut as the fourth and last course of the [[Moon Cup]] in the third wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. It is based on its appearance and layout in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', albeit with a graphical overhaul, giving the course a neon aesthetic. The rainbow arches on the start-and-finish truss and the truss at the start of the second section are now a complete circle. The start-and-finish checkered line is now blue and cyan. The [[Dash Panel]]s on the Saturn-like planet’s rings now have boost [[Ring (Mario Kart series)|rings]] on top of them. The boost rings and the star-shaped rails are now in the form of the ones in {{classic link|N64|Rainbow Road}}. The Uranus-like planet is now replaced by {{wp|Neptune}}. The moon section is now in [[anti-gravity]], just like the battle course [[Lunar Colony]]. Alongside {{classic link|Wii|Koopa Cape}}, it is one of two courses in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' to not entirely be set in anti-gravity, but not feature an [[Antigravity Panel]] or [[half-pipe]] to mark the beginning of an anti-gravity section; this is due to anti-gravity being activated as players fall toward the moon. The rainbow tunnel spins more slowly than in past iterations of the course and the star-shaped ring on it is now yellow. The minimap now lacks the holes in the wavy road prior to the moon section. Like {{classic link|SNES|Rainbow Road}}, when a player approaches the curve on the planet’s rings and the Moon, two and ten green arrow holograms will appear behind the turn and fence respectively, and indicate the direction in which the player must drive. Once the player has made the turn, the arrows will disappear.


{{classic|3DS|Rainbow Road}} is one of two courses to originate from ''Mario Kart 7'' to appear in the third wave of the DLC, alongside {{classic link|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}}. Excluding ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''{{'}}s [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|Rainbow Road]] theme, which is used in all trailers for the Booster Course Pass, {{classic|3DS|Rainbow Road}} was one of two courses whose music was used for the second trailer for Wave 3, alongside {{classic link|Wii|Maple Treeway}}.

==Other appearances==
This Rainbow Road appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' as [[Rainbow Road (stage)|a stage]]. The match takes place on flat platform and is a cruise-type stage similar to [[Mario Circuit (Super Smash Bros. for Wii U)|the stage]] based on [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U version]]. [[Shy Guy]]s also appear as stage hazards similar to the the Shy Guys from [[Figure-8 Circuit (stage)|Figure-8 Circuit]]. It also has a [[List of trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS|trophy]] in this game.
==Music==
Like ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''{{'}}s [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart: Double Dash!!)|Rainbow Road]], the music for this course contains an arrangement of a portion of [[N64 Rainbow Road (theme)|the music]] for ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''{{'}}s [[N64 Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]].<ref>Lukas U (November 29, 2011). [https://youtu.be/R9BrzEdtceU Mario Kart 7 - Senda Arcoiris]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved October 8, 2013.</ref> [[Kenta Nagata]] was a composer for all three games.
There are two different variations of the music for {{classic|3DS|Rainbow Road}}. The normal version plays for the majority of the course, while an alternate version plays if the highest placed human player is in the moon portion of the second section. When the third section is reached, as well as speeding the music up like with most courses, it is adjusted so that the end of the music (which is the part based on {{classic|N64|Rainbow Road}}'s music) plays first, followed by the usual start of the music. In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', if the player returns to the moon section after crossing the entrance to the third section, the music will change to the final lap version of the moon variation of the theme, but only if the final lap theme had already begun in the third section. It is also possible to hear the final lap version of the moon variant in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' in the T variant (although this is absent in [[Combo Attack]]), since the moon is in the final segment in this version of the track. In ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', however, there is no moon version of the final lap music.
This course's music also appears in the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series as selectable music tracks, both in its original arrangement and as a part of "Rainbow Road Medley".

==Trivia==
[[File:RainbowRoadHiddenItemBoxes.jpg|thumb|right|The hidden Item Boxes.]]
*There are three Item Boxes floating under the rings of the Saturn-like planetoid. It is possible to get one of these Item Boxes by gliding, but the player must get back on the track after getting it in order to use their item. However, it is quite difficult to do so without a [[mushroom]].
*This track has the most gliding pads of any course, with five. However, only the glider pads going onto and off of the planet rings are mandatory.
*This version is the longest Rainbow Road in the ''Mario Kart'' series; however, the [[Rainbow Road (N64)|N64 version]] takes the longest time to complete as it is three laps long instead of one.
*In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', when performing a [[trick]] on this course, it will have a slightly different sound effect than other courses; the same applies to [[Rainbow Road (SNES)|<small>SNES</small> Rainbow Road]].
