Everyone's favourite Mario Kart track! Rate every Rainbow Road in order from most favourite to least favourite. Obviously leave out any that you haven't played (but if you're a true Mario Kart fan you should have played them all!). Or just use this thread to discuss some fond memories of this awesome track. It's all good. 1. Double Dash - This one was just awe-inspiring. Also the first fully 3D RR. I remember it being loaded with all sorts of snazzy effects, and I loved how shooting stars would sometimes fall on the track. The music was also awesome. A sweet remix of the N64 RR theme) 2. Mario Kart Wii - Very well desgined and of course very eye-appealing. Also quite challenging, but not over the top. RR perfection, in my opinion. I only put Double Dash first because at the time it gave me more of a "wow" factor) 3. Super Mario Kart (SNES) - The original! The one that started it all. For that it deserves much props. It was ridiculously challenging due to having almost no edges, but that's what made it special. 4. Mario Kart DS - Not my favourite, but still had some good points. Looked great and had some sweet loop-de-loops. 5. Mario Kart SC (GBA) - Very similar to the original. Nothing against it, but it could have been improved upon. 6. Mario Kart 64 - Obviously at the time we all adored this track. For its time it was amazing (visually). And we'll never forget that first experience of playing it. But.. the entire track had edges. RR needs to be challenging! This was just eye-candy (albeit very nice eye-candy)
Favorite thing about Rainbow Road has always been the music. I've enjoyed all the Rainbow Road themes.
Also I remember jumping off the side in the N64 version in order to bypass like half the track, and pull off a huge lead. Didn't always end well, and that's what made it fun. That track was long!
My favourite Rainbow Road is the DS one. It wasn't too long, and had some tricky corners you could knock people off from. It also looked the best. The hardest Rainbow Road is definately the SNES one. I'm always tense when driving on that course. It's so easy to be shoved off as well. The worst Rainbow Road is definately the N64 one. It's far too long and near impossible to fall of from, unless you hop off at the very start. There was no need to include walls as the F-Zero X version proved!
I've only played MK:DD, Mario Kart DS, and Mario Kart Super Circuit (GBA) so i'll do it out of those 3.
1. Mario Kart: Double Dash- Best graphics and i loved the music. Sometimes stars would fall onto the track, and at certain points it would be difficult to stay on the track, but that made it fun x).
2. Mario Kart DS- Better graphics than the GBA version. Track was kind of easy.
3. Mario Kart Super Circuit- I remember that the music from this one was my favorite. It was challenging and long.
I have played all of the Mario Karts to date and love them all, especially Rainbow Road. I love the art, the track layout, the music, the difficulty of the track, and everything else about it.
Every time I've played Rainbow Road with friends they say the same thing: "Oh right on, Rainbow Road." Then a few seconds later: "I hate Rainbow Road!" It lulls you in with its pretty colors, then it forces you off the edge into oblivion.

XD Exactly how I feel. We'll start playing it because of the pretty colors, then the track starts going all over the place, we start cursing and complaining, then we go to an easier track. =P
