The other major change is that the course has been greatly altered to incorporate the game's [[Glider|hang-glider]] and [[anti-gravity]] mechanics. At the gentle uphill stretch, which succeeds the steep slope, the rainbow-colored rings are now an anti-gravity panel. The circular loop now lies on the right side of the course instead of on the left side and is inclined at a near-90 degree angle to act as an anti-gravity section. The dip after the large U-turn is now another smaller U-turn. The [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]]s are now larger, and instead of sliding through the course in a zigzag pattern, they bounce repeatedly, creating ripples on the track that can be used to perform aerial tricks. As the Chomps land, the section they create a wave on will flash. Along the course, [[Dash Panel]]s have been added and come in the form of small [[Launch Star]]-shaped rings that spin every time a racer passes through. The placement of these first two Dash Panels on the steep slope and the first two Launch Stars varies every time the player enters the race on this course. There are also [[Ring (Mario Kart series)|rings]] that can be reached with a [[Glide Ramp]]. The final stretch before the finish line is now slightly sloped as an anti-gravity section and ends with a glide ramp. | The other major change is that the course has been greatly altered to incorporate the game's [[Glider|hang-glider]] and [[anti-gravity]] mechanics.

In addition, similar to [[3DS Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]] from ''Mario Kart 7'', the course is now run as a single lap divided into three sections, instead of three laps, and the last part before the finish line has also been slightly shortened to cut down the length of the course. On the third section, the chorus of the music now starts to play, instead of the beginning of the music. It is the first and only retro course to do this, and one of only three courses in ''Mario Kart 8'' to be a segmented race rather than a lap race (the others being [[Mount Wario]] and [[Big Blue]]).

In a minor note, a map of the city beneath the course, mentioning [[Toad Harbor]], [[Wii Moo Moo Meadows|Moo Moo Meadows]], and [[Wii Wario's Gold Mine|Wario's Gold Mine]], can be seen in [[Super Bell Subway]]. Thus, this Rainbow Road is likely set above those courses<ref>[[Media:MK8 dSBS City Map.png|The map of the city where the Super Bell Subway course is found]]</ref>. The railway lines that can be seen from this Rainbow Road, according to the map in Super Bell Subway, connect this city to many other places where tracks of ''Mario Kart 8'' can be found.<ref>[[Media:MK8 dSBS Map Signs.png|Signs containing the Super Bell Subway Rail Map]].</ref> | In a minor note, a map of the city beneath the course, mentioning [[Toad Harbor]], [[Wii Moo Moo Meadows|Moo Moo Meadows]], and [[Wii Wario's Gold Mine|Wario's Gold Mine]], can be seen in [[Super Bell Subway]].
