The battle starts off on a flying ship that is facing left.  The ship has seven propellers and six giant paddles, which make it fly.  The anchor hangs off the bow.  The ship is flat in the center, but not on the sides.  The bow of the ship is just a bit higher than the deck.  The stern is clearly higher than the rest of the ship, including the bow.  It is wide enough to fit two characters.  The stern increases the height of the back of the boat, which can help characters who can [[wall-grapple]].  In the middle of the boat is the mast of the ship.  It has two levels to fight on.  The space between the middle platform and the deck is slightly larger in comparison to the space between the top platform and the middle.  The top platform is also shorter than the middle one.  It is just large enough to fit Bowser.  After about thirty seconds, the ship will crash into the next segment of the stage and sink. When the ship sinks, the characters will have to battle on the strange floating platforms that follow. The platforms are different and feature a rotating axle platform, flying carpets, and falling blocks. The stage moves in a clockwise order and at the end, downward-pointing arrows that flash red will appear.  They indicate that all players should descend to the lower parts of the stage before the camera zooms down.  Those who do not make it to the boat, which is waiting below, will be KO'd off the top off the screen.  The cycle continues from there.

In ''Ultimate'', any sections of the obstacle course which are beyond the camera bounds, even if they are within the blast zones, are intangible, preventing fighters from exploiting them for camping, or teching to avoid ceiling KOs.  
In ''Ultimate'', any sections of the obstacle course which are beyond the camera bounds, even if they are within the blast zones, are intangible, preventing fighters from exploiting them for camping, or teching to avoid ceiling KOs. Additionally, with hazards off, players will only fight on the flying ship as the stage never scrolls to the other areas.

===Ω form and Battlefield form===
In ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', the main platform of the [[Ω form]] and [[Battlefield form]] is the same size and shape as {{SSBU|Final Destination}}, and the design is based on the flying ship of the regular form, such as the floor resembling the ship's deck and the walls resembling the ship's hull. In the Battlefield form, the top [[soft platform]]'s design is based on the ones on the ship's mast, and the two bottom ones are based on the swinging platform of the regular form. The stage also does not scroll.

[[File:RainbowRideCarpet.jpg|thumb|left|Mario riding a flying carpet through Rainbow Ride as seen in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}''.]]
This stage is loosely based on the {{s|mariowiki|Rainbow Ride}} course, the fifteenth and final main course of ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}''. It can be accessed via a high ledge to the right of the entrance of the {{s|mariowiki|Tick Tock Clock}} course in a small room.
This stage is loosely based on ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario 64}}'''s 15th level, {{s|mariowiki|Rainbow Ride}}, and contains various elements from the level that include the giant flying boat with wings, which has been scaled down and redesigned in this stage; flying carpets that transport {{s|mariowiki|Mario}} to different parts of the level; a seesaw-like platform, which has also been scaled down and redesigned; a giant pendulum-like swing platform, which is redesigned in this stage; and {{s|mariowiki|Donut Block}}s, which are platforms, first appearing in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'', that fall if Mario stands on them for too long.
 
The course is set in an area high above the clouds that features a rainbow motif. The course features a giant winged ship, which the player must reach in order to collect the Power Star located on the bow; magic carpets, a form of transportation exclusive to the course which transport the player to another part of the course by standing on it; seesaw-like platforms, which tilts to the side the player is on; a swinging pendulum platform; and {{s|mariowiki|Donut Block}}s, a type of platform debuting in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Bros. 3}}'' which can fall if the player stands on them for too long.
 
This stage features the elements from the Rainbow Ride course in ''Super Mario 64'', albeit with some notable key differences. Most notably, the Rainbow Ride course is set in an area above the clouds, while the stage's background features  a double rainbow arch and is set in an area below the clouds, surrounded by a mountain range with a lake in the middle. The giant winged boat has been scaled down and redesigned with two soft platforms above the main platform. The seesaw platforms and the swinging pendulum platforms have also been scaled down and redesigned for this stage.
 
This stage's name is the Japanese name for the Rainbow Ride course, which is also displayed in the level select in ''Super Mario 64''{{'}}s debug menu. The usage of "Rainbow Cruise" instead of "Rainbow Ride" in the North American version of ''Melee'' initially appeared to be an oversight by the localization team. [[PAL]] versions of ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' named the stage "Rainbow Ride", and North American demos of ''Brawl'' also used "Rainbow Ride" before being changed for the final release; however, all English versions of ''Ultimate'' use "Rainbow Cruise", cementing it as the stage's name despite the localization difference.


Notably, Rainbow Ride is set far above the clouds in ''Super Mario 64''; however, on this stage it is much closer to the ground. It is also worth noting that "Rainbow Cruise" is the Japanese name for the course, which is also displayed in ''Super Mario 64''{{'}}s debug menu. The usage of "Rainbow Cruise" instead of "Rainbow Ride" in the North American version of ''Melee'' initially appeared to be an oversight by the localization team; [[PAL]] versions of ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'' name the stage "Rainbow Ride", and North American demos of ''Brawl'' also used "Rainbow Ride" before being changed for the final release.
