Rainbow Downhill is a course 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. 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 indicaties, 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 GBA Sky Garden.

In the fourth round of the Rainbow Cup, the cloudy beanstalk environment in the second portion is changed into something completely different: in Mario Kart Arcade GP, the environment is instead underwater, featuring a variety of deep sea creatures; in Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, however, this environment is replaced by a sanctuary above the clouds in the night sky.
