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.

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.

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.
