After the cannon, the lower path offers drivers a shortcut if they stay to the right of the Spin Boost Pillar and drive off the edge.The screens can also display the structure of the Blooper space shuttle. Other courses containing their own map are Mario Kart Stadium, Water Park, GCN Yoshi Circuit, and, in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Merry Mountain. One is right away from the starting line after exiting the large space station, and the other two are formed by the two twisting paths in the descending anti-gravity segment.īefore the finish line, a screen can be seen displaying the course's map. There are three 8-shaped sections in this course, referencing its game, Mario Kart 8. The racers then return to the space station where the finish line awaits them and begin the next lap. At this turn the player can see a hologram projection that says "SPECIAL CUP" with its trophy logo, albeit only in single-player mode. The third 8 is formed by the ending portion of the split path and the 180° turn. A 180° turn with some Dash Panels along the outermost part, like in Mario Kart Stadium, and another turn make the track loop end. Then the paths merge and the anti-gravity section ends. Each one twists in different ways, forming another 8-shape. The anti-gravity paths alter in height, so if the player falls from the highest one, they can generally land on the other one. The gliding section consists of three Rings that resemble Launch Stars, and it acts similarly to a cannon, though racers can slightly control their gliders. At the end of the conveyor belts, there is a slope with alternating sets of 2 Dash Panels and at the end of it are two Glide Ramps that lead to two intertwining anti-gravity sections. Unlike that course, though, the green belt has ramps pop up, allowing for tricks to be performed. It features conveyor belts with opposite directions that changes every 50 seconds, like Toad's Factory from Mario Kart Wii, even using red and green as the colors denoting which one is slowing racers down and which one is speeding them up.

A Glide Ramp is found after the anti-gravity section and leads to the second space station with a large imprint of Mario's emblem on the entrance. After a turn, the racers drive through the first anti-gravity section, which is 8-shaped. The course starts in the first space station with its rainbow-colored solar panel. Its music is used in various promotional material for the Booster Course Pass downloadable content for Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The game's producer, Hideki Konno, describes it as "really spectacular". Its music also has a different feel to it, with more emphasis on an electronic rock style. This is the only Rainbow Road to have off-road terrain segments. Several Toads can be seen floating around the starting line, wearing spacesuits. The rainbow patterns are similar to that of the Mario Kart: Double Dash!! iteration, which mainly consists of light pink, yellow, and turquoise, though the colors now appear to be shifting within a color spectrum, similar to Dash Panels of previous installments before Mario Kart 7.

The track itself is located on a series of enormous, curved solar panels covered in multicolored, square tiles. Due to the presence of the space shuttles and technological architecture, the course has a unique electronic and futuristic design, appearing like a stadium floating above the atmosphere. One noticeable feature of the course is a space shuttle that resembles a Blooper which circles around the course. It is located above the Earth's atmosphere, similar to that of Rainbow Road from Mario Kart Wii.

#RAINBOW ROAD MARIO KART 7 3DS TV#
Unlike its predecessors, this incarnation takes place in a space station presumably owned by Mario Kart TV or REXA, with its multiple satellites floating, satellite-formed bleachers with an audience cheering, and the road designed to resemble a space station's solar panels, as opposed to the transparent glass surface of previous games. Rainbow Road is the fourth and final course of the Special Cup in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
