Rainbow Road (レインボーロード, Reinbōrōdo) 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. 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.

Trivia
- In Mario Kart 7, the mushroom-based platforms on the course would allow racers to bounce off them. While these platforms are traversable in Smash 4's incarnation of the course, neither the players nor the Shy Guy racers bounce off them.
