Rainbow Road consists of a flat rainbow platform that travels around the track and landing in several areas. Some of those destinations include the rings of Saturn, a white polka-dotted mushroom trampoline, the finish line, and a moon. It is a cruise-style stage similar to [[Port Town Aero Dive]], [[Delfino Plaza]], {{SSBM|Mute City}}, and [[Skyloft]]. Much like [[Figure-8 Circuit | Rainbow Road consists of a flat rainbow platform that travels around the track and landing in several areas. Some of those destinations include the rings of Saturn, a white polka-dotted mushroom trampoline, the finish line, and a moon. It is a cruise-style stage similar to [[Port Town Aero Dive]], [[Delfino Plaza]], {{SSBM|Mute City}}, and [[Skyloft]]. Much like in [[Figure-8 Circuit]], [[Shy Guy]]s will drive around the course and serve as damage-dealing obstacles. Unlike said stage though, the Shy Guys cannot be knocked out of the stage. Like in Mute City, touching the track while the moving platform is in motion deals upwards knockback. | ||
