Editing Rainbow Ride

[[Image:RainbowRideHouse.JPG|thumb|200px|The Big House in the Sky in '''Rainbow Ride'''.]]

'''Rainbow Ride''', is the fifteenth and last course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', the stage appeared under the name of '''Rainbow Cruise''', which was actually the course's Japanese name in ''Super Mario 64''. It is accessible in the highest room in [[Princess Peach's Castle]], which also contains the gate to [[Tick Tock Clock]]. Rainbow Ride is not entered through a painting, as with most courses in the game, but through a hole in a niche opposite to that of [[Winged Mario Over the Rainbow]].

== ''Super Mario 64'' ==
[[Image:RainbowRideCarpet.JPG|thumb|left|Mario on a flying carpet.]]
Rainbow Road is a level with very little backtracking, and offers different paths around the level to different [[Power Star]]s, which makes it possible for [[Mario]] to collect them in any order he desires. Rainbow Road is set in the skies, and Mario has to use several flying carpets to get from one platform to another. Enemies on his way are [[Lakitu]]s, [[Bob-omb]]s and [[Amp]]s, rarely [[Goomba]]s and [[Fly Guy]]s, and several flamethrowers. There are platforms which fall down when Mario stands on them for too long, and circle platforms which spin rapidly.

=== Star 1: Cruiser Crossing the Rainbow ===
In the first mission, Mario has to get the Power Star on the flying ship of the stage. It is not guarded, and Mario has to use several flying carpets to get to the ship, dodging Lakitus on his way. On the main intersection in the stage, which is made of four spinning discs, Mario has to go to the carpet on the right, and take another carpet on the left further above. When reaching the ship, Mario is hindered by winds which try to stop him from getting the star.

=== Star 2: The Big House in the Sky ===

In this level, Mario has to get the Power Star which is ontop the big house in the area. Starting from the main intersection, he has to take the carpet to the right as in the last mission, but has to choose the right carpet again further above. By jumping over obstacles in the path of the flying carpet and avoiding the flame thrower in the house's basement, Mario can get to the top of the castle-like building to get the star.

=== Star 3: Coins Amassed in a Maze ===
[[Image:RainbowRideMaze.JPG|thumb|The maze of the [[Red Coin]]s.]]
In this level, Mario has to get all eight [[Red Coin]]s to get the Power Star. All coins are found in a side-view maze which is found right near the level's main intersection. On the bottom level, there are Bob-ombs trying to hurt Mario, and further above, Mario can be hit by flames as well. He has to use different tactics, such as the [[Wall Jump]] and the [[Long Jump]] to get all Red Coins and make the star appear.

=== Star 4: Swingin' in the Breeze ===
In this level, Mario has to clear an obstacle course to get the Power Star. From the main intersection, he has to go leftwards and climb down the pole, then take the way down the right. He has to use platforms which swing back and forth, cross several fall-down platforms and avoid a flame thrower to get the star.

=== Star 5: Tricky Triangles ===
[[Image:RainbowRideTriangle.JPG|thumb|left|The Triangle area.]]
Following the same way as for the previous star, Mario has to take a different route as soon as he meets the single Goomba of the level. He has to take the direction to the triangles. By hitting a flat ! switch, he can make the triangles temporarily turn over, creating platforms which he can use to jump over to the star.

=== Star 6: Somewhere over the Rainbow ===
[[Image:Rainbow_ride.JPEG|thumb|Mario, running near the [[Chuckya]].]]
To get this star, Mario first has to find the [[Bob-omb Buddy]] of Rainbow Ride, which is found inside the coin maze of the third Power Star. A cannon will open at the stern of the flying ship which Mario visited for the first Power Star. By shooting himself throw a rainbow circle, Mario can get onto a platform with a [[Chuckya]] and the sixth Power Star.

=== 100 Coins Star ===
The last star Mario can get in Rainbow Ride is for collecting 100 [[coin]]s, as in every course of the game. To do this, Mario can collect a number of [[Blue Coin]]s near the maze of the Red Coins and the Bob-omb Buddy.

== ''Super Mario 64 DS'' ==
In the [[Nintendo DS]] remake of ''Super Mario 64'', a few changes are applied to the Rainbow Ride course. Stars 1-4 and 6 are taken directly from ''Super Mario 64'', though Star 1 requires the player to play as [[Wario]] and Star 3 requires the player to play either as Mario, [[Luigi]] or [[Yoshi]]. Star 5 is changed completely, and a seventh Star is added to the course. For both of these Stars, the player has to play as Mario.

=== Star 5: Mario Wings to the Sky ===
For this Star, Mario has to fly through circles of coins, collecting the middle coin of each of the five circles. He has to use a [[Feather]] to do this. This mission was copied straight from the fifth star of [[Bob-omb Battlefield]] from the same game, which has the same name and goal.

=== Star 7: Switch Star of the Manor ===
Mario has to get to the roof of the house in the sky as quickly as possible by using a [[Power Flower]] to get the Power Star.

== ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' ==
[[Image:Rainbow Ride Brawl.jpg|150px|left|thumb|'''Rainbow Cruise'''.]]

Rainbow Ride appears as a stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', under the name of '''[[Mushroom Kingdom]]: Rainbow Cruise''' (however in the PAL region, it remains Rainbow Ride). The stage takes place on the floating ship. The stage is very small on this area, and it is fairly easy to fall off. Eventually, the ship will crash into the floating platforms, and begin to sink in the air. All players have to jump on the platforms, or else go down with the ship. After that, the stage becomes a side-scroller, where players have to jump and run for their lives, as well attacking the other players at the same time. Eventually, everyone will reach a part of the stage where many pieces of the stage start to fall off, or disappear. There is a pendulem with a Magic Carpet at the bottom of it, which will disappear over time. A group of blocks similar to [[Donut Block]]s appear near the end of the stage, where they will drop down if they are stood on too long. Finally, it reaches the end, where players must fall down through the platforms, or else lose a life. If there are still some surviving players by the end, they will end up landing back on the floating ship for the stage to repeat itself. There is a mountain with houses on it appearing in the background.

== Music ==
The background music of Rainbow Ride appears at several places throughout ''Super Mario 64'', including the races against [[Koopa the Quick]], [[The Princess's Secret Slide]], the slides on [[Cool, Cool Mountain]] and [[Tall, Tall Mountain]], as well as the entire level of [[Tick Tock Clock]]. It is a fast and joyful music. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', it got elements of a Waltz, slowing it down and thus making it hard to recognize. Despite the many appearances of the music in ''Super Mario 64'', it was labelled as "Rainbow Cruise" in the ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' Sound Test.

-'''Rainbow Ride''' is the fifteenth and final main course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. The entrance to the course is located to the right of [[Tick Tock Clock]]'s, in a small room above a ledge. The player has to [[jump]] onto a high platform in order to reach it. The entrance itself is a small hole in the floor.

-To get around the course, there are several [[magic carpet]]s that move along rainbow rails when the player steps onto them. The player starts on a platform next to a magic carpet, which moves in a bend around a platform and through a [[flamethrower]]. The platform has a ring of [[coin]]s with an [[Amp]] circling above them. The magic carpet falls off its rail at four large spinning platforms with a [[Lakitu]] flying over them.

+'''Rainbow Ride''', is the fifteenth and last course in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. In ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', the stage appeared under the name of '''Rainbow Cruise''', which was actually the course's Japanese name in ''Super Mario 64''. It is accessible in the highest room in [[Princess Peach's Castle]], which also contains the gate to [[Tick Tock Clock]]. Rainbow Ride is not entered through a painting, as with most courses in the game, but through a hole in a niche opposite to that of [[Winged Mario Over the Rainbow]].
-To the left of the player's starting position on the spinning platforms is a pole the player can use to reach the platform below. Hovering above the stair-like platform is a [[Fly Guy]], as well as a [[seesaw]] afterward that can help the player reach the platform above. Afterward is a swing, followed by a seesaw that leads to several [[Donut Block|Falling Block]]s. Across the gap is a flamethrower that the player has to time their jump with in order to prevent getting burned. Past the flamethrower is a moving platform followed by a split in the path; up the stairs is another swing that leads to a [[Power Star]], and across the Falling Blocks are [[pyramid platform]]s.
-Underneath all the platforms up to the split is a large flat platform with a [[! Block|yellow block]] containing a [[1-Up Mushroom|1-UP Mushroom]].

There are platforms which fall down when Mario stands on them for too long, and circle platforms which spin rapidly.
-===Maze Path===
+=== Star 1: Cruiser Crossing the Rainbow ===
-Directly ahead of the player's starting position on the spinning platforms is a concrete maze, with a moving platform that helps the player reach it. Inside the maze are the course's [[Red Coin]]s, [[Bob-omb]]s, and [[flame thrower (Flame Chomp)|flame thrower]]s. By using the [[Wall Jump|Wall Kick]] to reach the top of the maze through the back end of it, the player can find a [[Bob-omb Buddy]] that opens the [[cannon]] on the [[Rainbow Cruiser]].
+In the first mission, Mario has to get the Power Star on the flying ship of the stage. It is not guarded, and Mario has to use several flying carpets to get to the ship, dodging Lakitus on his way. On the main intersection in the stage, which is made of four spinning discs, Mario has to go to the carpet on the right, and take another carpet on the left further above. When reaching the ship, Mario is hindered by winds which try to stop him from getting the star.
-===Carpet Path===
+=== Star 2: The Big House in the Sky ===
-To the right of the player's starting position on the spinning platforms is a magic carpet. When stepped on, the carpet moves along its path, and the player has to dodge several platforms in order to prevent being swept off. At the end of the carpet's path are two more carpets, a left and a right, along with the Lakitu from earlier in the N64 version if the player did not defeat it.
-The carpet to the left takes the player to the Rainbow Cruiser. The carpet moves around a spinning platform the player has to dodge to avoid getting pushed off the carpet. The bottom of the platform also acts as a flamethrower (the flame is absent in the DS version), and the top has a 1-UP Mushroom floating above it. Once at the Rainbow Cruiser, the player has to jump over platforms and Falling Blocks to climb onto it. The Rainbow Cruiser has a heavy [[wind]] rush through it, pushing the player to the stern of the ship. On the deck, there are a couple of Bob-ombs (one replaced by a [[Goomba]] in the DS version) and a Lakitu, with the cannon on the stern of the ship. On the bow is the Power Star for the [[Cruiser Crossing the Rainbow|first mission]]. Using the cannon, the player can reach a platform with a [[Chuckya]] and the Power Star for the [[Somewhere Over the Rainbow|sixth mission]].
+In this level, Mario has to get the Power Star which is ontop the big house in the area. Starting from the main intersection, he has to take the carpet to the right as in the last mission, but has to choose the right carpet again further above. By jumping over obstacles in the path of the flying carpet and avoiding the flame thrower in the house's basement, Mario can get to the top of the castle-like building to get the star.
-The carpet to the right takes the player to the [[Cloud House]]. The carpet moves through several platforms the player has to climb over, and the player needs to quickly return to the carpet before it disappears. On one of these platforms is an Amp circling it. The Cloud House itself has a large fireplace that acts like a flamethrower, as well as having a Power Star on its roof. In the DS version, it also contains the Switch Star of the course.
+=== Star 3: Coins Amassed in a Maze ===
+[[Image:RainbowRideMaze.JPG|thumb|The maze of the [[Red Coin]]s.]]
+In this level, Mario has to get all eight [[Red Coin]]s to get the Power Star. All coins are found in a side-view maze which is found right near the level's main intersection. On the bottom level, there are Bob-ombs trying to hurt Mario, and further above, Mario can be hit by flames as well. He has to use different tactics, such as the [[Wall Jump]] and the [[Long Jump]] to get all Red Coins and make the star appear.
