'''Wing Mario Over the Rainbow''' (retitled '''Over the Rainbows''' in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'') is one of the three secret [[level]]s in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' where [[Mario]] uses the [[Wing Cap]] to collect eight [[Red Coin]]s. The entrance to the course is through a hole with light coming out of it on a ledge to the left of [[Tick Tock Clock]], opposite of the entrance to [[Rainbow Ride]]. One of [[Wario]]'s [[rabbit]]s can be found in the upper alcove on the entrance to this level.

The platforms around this course are clouds that Mario has to [[fly]] between using the Wing Cap or [[cannon]]s. If the player falls into the [[pit|abyss]] below, they will be dropped into the lake in front of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]] without losing a life. However, in the N64 version, if the player loses all [[Health Meter|health]] by taking damage, they will respawn outside the level, but in the DS version, if the player loses all health, they will still respawn outside the castle, and the number of lives remaining will show up once the player regains all their health and gets out of the water.

To open both cannons, the player needs to make it to a large pink platform with the [[Bob-omb Buddy]] (who is located next to the lower cannon) and talk to him. In the DS version, another Bob-omb Buddy appears next to the upper cannon and can detect the Red Coin locations. Two of the clouds are transparent, and Mario can fly right through them. Trying to stand on transparent clouds makes the player fall off. One contains a Red Coin (only in the N64 version), and the other contains a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]]. One other cloud has a group of green poles hanging down from it.

Using the Wing Cap and cannons, Mario must fly around the level and collect the eight Red Coins to make a Power Star appear at the [[Star Marker]] on the cloud on which the player started.

A Black Brick can be found on one of the clouds. Wario must get to the block (either by [[Long Jump|long-jumping]] or by using a cannon) so he can break it to earn a Power Star.

*This is the only secret course that utilizes cannons. It is also one of the few areas in the game to have more than one cannon, along with the [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] and [[Cool, Cool Mountain]].

*In ''Super Mario 64'', Wing Mario Over the Rainbow is counted as a cold course, as Mario does not fall asleep while in it; instead, he shivers as he would if he were on Cool, Cool Mountain and in [[Snowman's Land]]. One possible reason for this might be to acknowledge the lower temperature due to high altitude. However, since neither [[Rainbow Ride]] nor [[Tower of the Wing Cap]], both of which are also sky-themed, is counted as a cold course (as Mario falls asleep and does not shiver while in them), one likely explanation is that the theme is simply meant to attribute the same soft-stepping sound effect and embedment from falling attributed to snow surfaces to the clouds found here.  

**In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', Over the Rainbows is no longer counted as a cold course, as Mario and others fall asleep in it like usual. The game does introduce a new cold course, [[Chief Chilly Challenge]].
