Rainbow Road (stage)
Rainbow Road is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. It is based on the Rainbow Road course from Mario Kart 7. Rainbow Road is a cruise-type stage similar to Mute City from Super Smash Bros. Melee and Port Town Aero Dive from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The match takes place mainly on a flat platform that hovers around the course. The platform will occasionally stop on the track itself, and in single-player only, an on-screen warning may appear indicating that karts driven by Shy Guys will pass by, being able to damage any fighters they hit. Falling onto the track itself while the platform is moving damages the fighter. The flat platform can stop at either second gap on the course, the rainbow Mushroom Platform, a platform near the Saturn-like planet, the holey section of the course, and the end of the spinning tunnel. While the course layout is similar to the original, there are some minor differences. Dash Panels are not present (with the exception of the speed pads right after the start of section 3), the Bouncy Mushroom is an ordinary platform, the holey section does not move, and a separate platform was added outside of the main track near the Saturn-like planet. The Ω form has fighters battle on a non-moving platform over the final gliding section of the course. Rainbow Road and Pac-Maze are the only stages in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS to not reappear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

While fighting on the Rainbow Road stage, you'll fly around and sometimes even descend onto the track itself. Watch out! Shy Guys are having a proper race down there, and they don't brake for anyone!

- Tips
- "Sometimes Shy Guys drive by in karts. There is plenty of warning before the Shy Guy cruise by."
- "The floor of the tunnel rotates; don't get caught standing in one spot, or you'll be sent flying off the screen!"
