'''Rainbow Downhill''' is the second and fourth course of the [[Rainbow Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', with a theme similar to and inspired by that of [[Rainbow Road]], from the mainline ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series. It is the sister course of [[Rainbow Coaster]], and starts off at the same point; however, the teleporter around the middle of the course warps racers to a different section that, as the course name indicates, goes progressively downwards. Despite the different layout, this second section has the same theme as the second section as Rainbow Coaster, featuring clouds and beanstalks at daylight much like {{classic-link|GBA|Sky Garden}}. | '''Rainbow Downhill''' is the second and fourth course of the [[Rainbow Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', with a theme similar to and inspired by that of [[Rainbow Road]], from the mainline ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series.

As in Rainbow Coaster, racers begin this course inside a space station. As the race begins, they drive outside onto a rainbow-colored, tiled road, to meet the environment of outer space, with rainbow-colored items floating around. Racers then drive into a tunnel labeled "Rainbow Tunnel", which appears to be narrowed down due to a nearby spire. After exiting the tunnel, they make a hairpin turn around a satellite. Racers the follow a road that's been curved due a low platform making an indent in the layout; drivers can take a shortcut by hopping on the low platform. This platform also has a row of [[Coin]]s in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP'', but these coins are absent in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2''. Afterwards, racers drive up a slope and are instructed to drive into a gate with [[Dash Panel]]s, warping them into a different area. | As in Rainbow Coaster, racers begin this course inside a space station.

The revisit of this course in Round 4 of the Rainbow Cup in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' is relatively the same, but changes the environment of the second area completely. Instead of clouds, floating islands and beanstalks in the high sky, the second portion now takes place entirely underwater, featuring coral reefs, underwater cliffs and seaweed. The path appears to be more closely surrounded by underwater cliffs compared to the underwater version of Rainbow Coaster, and does not feature an underwater tunnel or seabed. | The revisit of this course in Round 4 of the Rainbow Cup in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' is relatively the same, but changes the environment of the second area completely.

Surprisingly, this second area is changed yet again when the course is revisited in Round 4 of the Rainbow Cup in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP 2''. Instead of either a cloudy area with beanstalks or an underwater area, the environment now takes place in a sanctuary above the clouds at night, with various rainbow-colored temples, fountains, and structures. The end of this portion is also surrounded by rib-like structures and a ribcage-like tunnel, much like with Rainbow Coaster. | |||
