(Undid edit by 35.137.242.245: There's been a total of 3 Mario Kart-based stages throughout the Smash series, so this trivia isn't that interesting. If we get a 3rd Circuit Track-based stage, then maybe.)

{{s|mariowiki|Rainbow Road}} first appeared in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Kart}}'' as the final course of the {{s|mariowiki|Special Cup}}, and a variation of it has appeared in every main ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart|series}}'' game since. This Rainbow Road is based on the [[mariowiki:Rainbow Road (3DS)|''Mario Kart 7'' version]].
{{s|mariowiki|Rainbow Road}} first appeared in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Kart}}'' as the final course of the {{s|mariowiki|Special Cup}}, and a variation of it has appeared in every main ''{{iw|mariowiki|Mario Kart|series}}'' game. Due to being the final course in a ''Mario Kart'' game's main lineup, its iterations are designed, and often considered by players, to be among the series' most difficult tracks.


Shy Guys debuted in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart DS}}'' as the only drivers recipient players of DS Download Play could play as, but made their proper debut as part of the roster in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart 7}}''. In this stage, Shy Guys drive in their {{s|mariowiki|Standard Kart}}.
In most appearances, it takes the form of a multi-colored track floating in deep space, above a lit-up city, or other locations. This Rainbow Road is based on the [[mariowiki:3DS Rainbow Road|''Mario Kart 7'' version]], which emphasizes the space theme by taking place among the Moon, asteroids, and several shrunk-down versions of planets of the Solar System. This iteration of the track would go on to reappear in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart Tour}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Kart 8 Deluxe}}''.


Rainbow Roads are notorious for being one of, if not, the most, difficult tracks in each game across the ''Mario Kart'' series.
