==Stage overview== | ==Stage overview== | ||
The stage takes place on a flat semisoft platform that travels around the track, and stops to land at various points on the track, similar to [[Mute City]], [[Port Town Aero Dive]], and the Wii U-exclusive stage [[Mario Circuit]]. [[Shy Guy]]s drive around the track and will sometimes charge through the stops, approaching from either the background or the sides depending on the stop, dealing 10% on contact and launching fighters upwards when coming from the background, and in their direction of travel when coming from the sides. When the stage is travelling, the moving track can deal damage, dealing 15% and launching fighters upwards. | |||
There are eight locations the platform can stop at, with a distinctive chime played shortly before the platform lands. All stops that feature platforms see their platforms rise from beneath the stage shortly after the travelling platform lands, and sink back beneath the stage shortly before the travelling platform departs. The eight stops are, in order around the track: | |||
*A small ramp across a gap, forming two [[walk-off]]s either side, with one platform over the gap, and another over the terrain on the left side. | |||
*A white polka-dotted mushroom, with three platforms in a layout akin to {{SSB4|Battlefield}}. | |||
*The landing strip from a glider ramp, making a walk-off on the right side, with two platforms to the left. | |||
*A road with holes to either side, leaving a relatively thin strip of terrain, with two platforms either side over the holes. | |||
*The edge of a crater on the moon, making a completely flat layout with walk-offs either side. | |||
*The inside of a large tube rotating counter-clockwise, its movement dragging fighters standing on it to the right, with two static platforms. | |||
*A trio of hard platforms with gaps separating them, the two to the sides reaching the side blastzones; with two platforms over the gaps separating them. | |||
*The finish line, acting as a flat terrain piece marginally wider than the travelling platform. | |||

Rainbow Road (レインボーロード, Rainbow Road) is a stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. It is based on the Rainbow Road course from Mario Kart 7.
Stage overviewEdit
The stage takes place on a flat semisoft platform that travels around the track, and stops to land at various points on the track, similar to Mute City, Port Town Aero Dive, and the Wii U-exclusive stage Mario Circuit. Shy Guys drive around the track and will sometimes charge through the stops, approaching from either the background or the sides depending on the stop, dealing 10% on contact and launching fighters upwards when coming from the background, and in their direction of travel when coming from the sides. When the stage is travelling, the moving track can deal damage, dealing 15% and launching fighters upwards.
There are eight locations the platform can stop at, with a distinctive chime played shortly before the platform lands. All stops that feature platforms see their platforms rise from beneath the stage shortly after the travelling platform lands, and sink back beneath the stage shortly before the travelling platform departs. The eight stops are, in order around the track:
- A small ramp across a gap, forming two walk-offs either side, with one platform over the gap, and another over the terrain on the left side.
- A white polka-dotted mushroom, with three platforms in a layout akin to Battlefield.
- The landing strip from a glider ramp, making a walk-off on the right side, with two platforms to the left.
- A road with holes to either side, leaving a relatively thin strip of terrain, with two platforms either side over the holes.
- The edge of a crater on the moon, making a completely flat layout with walk-offs either side.
- The inside of a large tube rotating counter-clockwise, its movement dragging fighters standing on it to the right, with two static platforms.
- A trio of hard platforms with gaps separating them, the two to the sides reaching the side blastzones; with two platforms over the gaps separating them.
- The finish line, acting as a flat terrain piece marginally wider than the travelling platform.
Ω formEdit
The stage only consists of a single platform which does not follow the track, instead remaining still above the split-up roads following the tube. The Ω form depicts these roads as curved; in both the stage and the racetrack, the roads are straight.
OriginEdit
Rainbow Road first appeared in Super Mario Kart as the final course of the Special Cup, and a variation of it has appeared in every main Mario Kart 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.
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 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 Mario Kart Tour and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
Shy Guys, from Super Mario Bros. 2, made their Mario Kart debut in 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 Mario Kart 7. In this stage, Shy Guys drive in their Standard Kart and use Super Gliders.
TrophyEdit

- This beautiful seven-color course is the finale of the Special Cup in Mario Kart 7. Set high above in space, drivers navigate the rings of Saturn and cross craters on the moon. Shy Guys are racing on this course as the fighters compete on and around it, and they have no problem hitting you with their karts.

While fighting on the Rainbow Road stage, you'll fly around and sometimes even descend onto the track itself. Watch out! Shy Guys are having a proper race down there, and they don't brake for anyone!

TriviaEdit
- The track in the stage is slightly altered from its original appearance in Mario Kart 7.
- All of the speed/gliding ramps are missing. Despite this, Shy Guys can still be seen with their gliders.
- The mushroom-based platform on the course no longer bounces racers off of it.
- The area right before the second section sign is no longer bumpy on the sides.
- Saturn's ring doesn't have breaks in it on the sides.
- The road right before the moon no longer bounces.
- The rainbow track layer is notably thicker, as opposed to the thin layer from the original. Coincidentally, Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe feature Rainbow Roads with this trait (its own Rainbow Road, as well as the Rainbow Roads from Mario Kart 64 and Super Mario Kart)—however, 8 Deluxe's own rendition of Mario Kart 7's Rainbow Road keeps the original's thin layer of rainbow track.
- The stage's starting line is extended at the beginning of the stage to make way for the touring platform, in spite of the fact that it can appear at its normal length when the stage is stopped by the starting line.
- Rainbow Road and Melee's Mushroom Kingdom are the only two Mario stages not to appear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
- Additionally, this stage and Pac-Maze are the only new stages in for Nintendo 3DS (not counting Battlefield and Final Destination) to not appear in Ultimate.
- This is the only Mario Kart stage to have Shy Guys with different colors. Every other stage only uses red Shy Guys.
- The "Rainbow Road Medley" music track that is used for this stage is a medley of the Rainbow Road themes from every handheld Mario Kart game, which is likely a reference to this stage being exclusive to the 3DS version of Smash 4.
- Curiously, a brand new iteration of Rainbow Road appears in Rosalina and Luma's reveal trailer, but does not resemble the version that appears in Smash 4.
