Rainbow Road appears as a location in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', leading towards [[Bowser's Castle]]. After [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach]] and [[Toad]] convince [[Cranky Kong]] to recruit the [[Great Kong Army]] for a raid on [[Bowser]] and his [[Koopa Troop|army]], the heroes speed off a ramp on [[kart]]s in the [[Jungle Kingdom]] that lands them on Rainbow Road. The [[Koopa General]] warns Bowser of the impeding planned raid, prompting Bowser to order an ambush on the heroes. [[Koopa]]s on karts ambush the heroes on their drive down Rainbow Road, prompting an immense battle between the two forces. The Kongs are captured by the Koopas, as the Koopa General sacrifices himself becoming a [[Spiny Shell (blue)|Blue Shell]] and striking [[Donkey Kong]] and Mario causing an explosion that sends them spiraling down into the ocean below them. Meanwhile, Peach and Toad manage to escape the attack and retreat to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. | Rainbow Road<ref>[https://youtu.be/4yyzqebLLd4 The Super Mario Bros. Movie | Everything Number One ].

As a reference to the games, there is a scene where Mario hops from one segment of the road to another directly below, a possible reference to the famous ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' [[List of Mario Kart 64 glitches#Skip Most of Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road shortcut]]. Additionally, when the characters jump off a large ramp and land on the road, a rendition of the music for [[SNES Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road]] from ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' briefly plays. | As a reference to the games, there is a scene where Mario hops from one segment of the road to another directly below, a possible reference to the famous ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' [[List of Mario Kart 64 glitches#Skip Most of Rainbow Road|Rainbow Road shortcut]].
