Rainbow Road: Difference between revisions

'''Rainbow Road''' is the final course of the [[Special Cup]] featured in all ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' games and is the climactic course of each game it appears in. As their names suggest, these courses are made of rainbow-colored glass or metallic surfaces that are either one color or change their color as racers drive on them, depending on the game they appear in. Most of these tracks are transparent throughout the ''Mario Kart'' series. They typically appear floating in deep space or the Earth's atmosphere, although [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart: Double Dash!!)|the one]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and the remade {{classic-link|N64|Rainbow Road}} and {{classic-link|SNES|Rainbow Road}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' hang suspended in a starry night sky above a landscape. Most appearances of this course contain few or no railings, putting racers at risk of falling into space, and each Rainbow Road also contains its unique hazards. Due to these obstacles, Rainbow Road is among the most difficult courses in each ''Mario Kart'' game. Starting in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', some of the Rainbow Road courses have sections of the race track that are not rainbow-colored. Rainbow Road is also usually a long course when compared to other courses. Rainbow Road has also made some appearances in other games outside of the ''Mario Kart'' series, as well as in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]''.
