It occupies the starting point on the world's map. Each time a Rainbow Course opens, the player has one chance to play it after entering; it closes when their character exits by falling off. [[Gold Block|Flying Gold Blocks]] do not appear in Rainbow Courses, and inventory items cannot be used.
A '''Rainbow Course'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Pages 231-239.</ref> is a special level found in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. The music heard in rainbow Courses is a sparkly remix of the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' Coin Heaven theme (one note higher).


The player can open a Rainbow Course by finishing a level when each of the last two digits of the [[Time Limit]] matches the number of the current world ([[World Mushroom (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Mushroom]] being counted as "7," [[World Flower (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Flower]] as "8," and [[World Star (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Star]] as "9"). The appearance of [[fireworks]] and a rainbow, as the theme "[[Course Clear]]" from ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' plays, indicates success. Additionally, all Rainbow Courses open when the player receives a SpotPass message from the game, regardless of what the message is about.
A Rainbow Course can only be opened by finishing a level with the last two digits of the [[Time Limit]] both being the number of the [[world]] the player is on ([[World Mushroom (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Mushroom]] being "7", [[World Flower (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Flower]] "8", and [[World Star (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World Star]] "9"), which is followed by the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' "Course Clear" theme playing, along with some [[fireworks]] going off and a rainbow appearing. Then, [[Mario]] can head to the beginning of the [[world]], where a Rainbow World course has opened up. [[Gold Block|Flying Gold Blocks]] do not appear in Rainbow Courses, and players are also unable to use their inventory items.


At the beginning of every Rainbow Course, [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] must enter a [[Pipe Cannon]] to be launched into the titular rainbow-themed [[Coin Heaven]]. Rainbow Courses auto-scroll or take place on a moving [[lift]]. They contain large numbers of [[coin]]s, [[Roulette Coin Block]]s (including a larger one with a maximum result of 100 coins, instead of 50), [[10-Coin|10 Coin]]s, and one [[100-Coin|giant coin]] each (aside from those in the Roulette Coin Blocks). Some Rainbow Courses have a [[Red Ring]] that places a [[Gold Flower]] in the [[item storage]] if all [[Red Coin]]s are collected. At the end of the course, the player character is forced to fall off due to a large gap (in auto-scrolling courses) or an impassable wall that the lift recedes into.
At the beginning of every Rainbow Course, Mario must enter a [[Pipe Cannon]] to be launched into a [[Coin Heaven]]-type area, which holds large amounts of [[coin]]s, [[Roulette Coin Block]]s (including a larger one with a maximum number as 100 coins, instead of 50), [[10-Coin|10 Coin]]s, and even a single [[giant coin]]. Some courses have a [[Red Coin Ring]] that will give the player a [[Gold Flower]] in their inventory if all [[Red Coin]]s are collected. However, all Rainbow Courses are slightly different from each other. If Mario falls off the course, he will not lose a life, but it will close up and Mario must redo the method of unlocking the Rainbow Course in order to access it again.


The music heard in Rainbow Courses is an arrangement of the ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' Coin Heaven theme. It has different instrumentation and is a {{wp|semitone|half step}} higher than the key of the original theme.
==Trivia==
 
*All of the Rainbow Courses will automatically unlock when a player receives a SpotPass message from the game, regardless of what the message is about.
