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 from the Mario Kart series.

Overview

Rainbow Road consists of a flat rainbow stage that travels around the course, landing in several areas. A planet resembling Saturn is one of the destinations, along with a white polka-dotted mushroom trampoline. It is a cruise type stage, similar to Port Town Aero Dive, Delfino Plaza, Mute City, and Skyloft. Much like in Mario Circuit, Shy Guys will drive around the course, serving as obstacles.

Origin

Rainbow Road first appeared in Super Mario Kart, and has appeared in every Mario Kart game since. This Rainbow Road is based on the Mario Kart 7 version.

Mario Kart DS is the first game that allowed Shy Guys as playable characters, but only through DS Download Play. If friends wanted to play the game together, but somebody didn't have the game, they could still connect together through DS Download Play; however, the people who didn't have the game had no choice but to play as a Shy Guy. It wasn't until Mario Kart 7 that Shy Guys were playable on through the character select screen. In this stage, the karts are driven by Shy Guys, and the karts they drive are the Standard Kart from Mario Kart 7.

Trophy

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.

The Special Cup's final course in Mario Kart 7. This space track takes you through Saturn's rings and the craters on the moon. 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!

Trivia

• There are many inconsistencies with this stage compared to 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 platforms on the course no longer bounce racers off them
  • 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 Ω form of the stage depicts the split-up roads following the tube as curved; in both the stage and the racetrack, the roads are straight.
