This version of Rainbow Road makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting from the [[Space Tour (2023)|2023 Space Tour]]. This makes it the first ''Mario Kart Wii'' [[Special Cup]] course to reappear in a future installment of the series, the sixth Wii course in ''Mario Kart Tour'', the first Wii course since [[Wii Koopa Cape]] in the [[Peach vs. Bowser Tour (May 2022)|May 2022 Peach vs. Bowser Tour]] seventeen tours prior, and the second Wii course to make its classic course debut in ''Mario Kart Tour'', the first one being [[Wii DK Summit]] in the [[Snow Tour]] forty-nine tours prior. The most notable change is that the course has been converted into a two-section track like [[Tour Tokyo Blur|Tokyo Blur 4]], [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute 4]], and [[N64 Kalimari Desert|N64 Kalimari Desert 2]], with the second section beginning at the Launch Star cannon. | This version of Rainbow Road makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting from the [[Space Tour (2023)|2023 Space Tour]].

This version of Rainbow Road reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the sixth and final wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC. It is the fourth and last course of the [[Spiny Cup]], the forty-eighth and last course in the DLC and the ninety-sixth and last course in the game overall. It is also the only course from ''Mario Kart Wii'' added in the 2023 half of the Booster Course Pass not to be the third course of its cup. The course is largely based on its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour'', only with significant visual upgrades. Unlike other Booster Course Pass tracks, the course model has not been upscaled from ''Tour'', meaning the track is narrower than most other ones in the pass, matching the ''Mario Kart Wii'' version. The entire course is now in [[anti-gravity]], making it the only Rainbow Road, and one of six courses in the game with this distinction, alongside [[Mute City]], {{classic-link|GCN|Baby Park}}, [[Big Blue]], [[Sky-High Sundae]], and the battle course [[Lunar Colony]]. Two [[Spin Boost Pillar]]s have been added along the track; one at the left turn after the figure-8 section and the right turn before the launch star tunnel. In the figure-8 section of the course, the ramps lining the holes and the Item Boxes above the half-pipes have returned, and there are Double Item Boxes at the set before the wavy track. Also, the boost panel at the end of the wavy track now remains slanted upwards, instead of moving along with the wave. Additionally, the wavy section does not get increasingly bumpier as the race goes on. The required half-pipe jump has been modified from ''Tour'' to be closer to the ''Wii'' original, though it is not identical. The dash panels along the second curve of each split path are now on the outside of the curve, and each dash panel along the final U-turn has been moved to the opposite side of the track. Even more guard rails have been added along the sides of the split path part of the track: Both paths are fully covered on the outside of both of their turns. In the case of the first turns, there are no guard rail gaps between them and the start of the section, and in the case of the second turns, there are no guard rail gaps between them and the dash panel ramps. Unlike in ''Mario Kart Tour'', the course has reverted to having three laps instead of two sections. It is the longest three-lap course in the game, beating [[Toad Harbor]] from the original ''Mario Kart 8'' and {{classic-link|DS|Waluigi Pinball}} and {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}} from previous waves of the ''Booster Course Pass''. | This version of Rainbow Road reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the sixth and final wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC.
