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. | ||

{{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. | {{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. 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:Rainbow Road (3DS)|''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}}''. | ||
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}}. | |||
Rainbow Roads are notorious for being one of, if not, the most, difficult tracks in each game across the ''Mario Kart'' series. | |||
