Rainbow Road (Mario Kart: Super Circuit)
Template:Articleabout Template:Racecourse
Rainbow Road is the last course of the Special Cup in Mario Kart: Super Circuit. Edges of the course are lined with jumping humps. Astute racers can use Mushrooms to perform shortcuts. The track features falling stars that can make racers spin out and Thunder Clouds that can shrink them. Bowser's Castle from Paper Mario can be seen in the background.
Course layout
The track begins in the only barricade portion of the track, racers first make some turns where there are no rails or bouncing humps and they can snatch some items here, following this there is a straight path with a very sharp turn and the edge with a thunder cloud and a longer straight path where some bouncy stars can spin around racers they come in contact with. There many any sharp turns and curves with more thunder clouds, player may also jump from this curves by using the humps to cut a bit of the track but no so much. After another turn, the track offers two paths two advance: on the left a very narrow path filled with boost pads, on the left a wider path with fewer boost pads, item boxes and some thunder clouds, this boost pads on both sides can be either a benefit and a hindrance as they can be used to perform shortcuts or may cause careless players to fall, there is another sharp turn after this, with the last thunder cloud seen before restarting, on this final portion, players utilize boost pads and the humps to jump twice across the path; after the final jump, players must be careful to prevent falling from the final rail-less turn, finally there is a series of boost pad on the left side of the track before the finish line but using them is merely optional.
