This version of Rainbow Road also returns as the fourth and last course of the [[Lightning Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', as well as the thirty-second and last course of the game overall. It is the first Rainbow Road to reappear as a classic course in another ''Mario Kart'', even discounting its reappearance in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. | This version of Rainbow Road also returns as the fourth and last course of the [[Lightning Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', as well as the thirty-second and last course of the game overall.

The course uses a similar background to that of {{classic-link|DS|Waluigi Pinball}}. Like with Super Mario Kart, the | The course uses a similar background to that of {{classic-link|DS|Waluigi Pinball}}. Like with Super Mario Kart, the road appears solid, as it is not transparent. Unlike previous incarnations, this new version has the characteristic "glistening" sound effect when drifting on it, a common feature of all Rainbow Roads starting from the [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart: Double Dash!!)|GCN rendition]]. The Super Thwomps (now with an appearance based on the Thwomps from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'') return. They are now larger, and their numbers in the track are reduced from sixteen to seven, and now form ripples on the track upon impact, which the player can [[Jump Boost|trick]] off of.

The tiles' colors are similar to those of [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart: Super Circuit)|Rainbow Road]] from ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', with pink replacing the red tiles and cyan replacing the teal tiles. In [[First-Person View|first-person view]], the player can see through the breaks in the tiles. The widest part of the gap in the forked road is two tiles shorter, but the gap itself is also seven tiles shorter, making the shortcut easier to use. Also, the section of tiles before the fork (from the orange tiles on the narrow part of the straight after turn 7 to the purple tiles before the gap) is wider: the first orange, blue, yellow, and last purple tile rows before the gap are now two tiles wider. The finish line is also two tiles long, removing the red tiles that used to be in front of it. | The tiles' colors are similar to those of [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart: Super Circuit)|Rainbow Road]] from ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'', with pink replacing the red tiles and cyan replacing the teal tiles.
