"Rainbow Road"[1] is a musical theme composed by Soyo Oka for Super Mario Kart, where it plays in the race course of the same name. Elements from it have been integrated into the theme of every Rainbow Road course throughout the Mario Kart series.[2] It is one of Soyo Oka's favorite themes that she has composed.[3]

Composition[edit]

"Rainbow Road" debuted in Super Mario Kart for its Rainbow Road course. It is a funk arrangement in the key of C major divided into two main sections. The first section of the theme is primarily based around a Isus chord to I chord vamp (notated as C13sus - C13) with an open bassline that alternates between the tonic (1̂, also the root note) of the key, the dominant (5̂), and the tonic above.

The two sections are separated by an 8-bar bridge that features two main motifs that have gone on to reappear many times throughout the Mario Kart series. The first motif is a rising triad over a tonic pedal bass, where the theme rises from a C major 7 chord to a D major chord, then to an E-flat major chord, and finally to an F major add 2 chord, all while the bass remains in the key of C major (notated as Cmaj7 - D/C - E♭/C - F(add2)/C). This results in a I - II - ♭III - IV chord progression. The second motif is the open leap in the melody between the dominant, the tonic, and the dominant one octave above (G, C, and G in this case).

The second section of the song is a combination of the second motif from the bridge, featuring jumps between the 1st and 5th notes transposed down a fifth and harmonized with four-part synth harmonies, as well as the first section of the song, featuring vamps between I and Isus chords.[2]

History[edit]

Mario Kart series[edit]

Super Mario Kart[edit]

Super Mario Kart marks the first appearance of "Rainbow Road". It is also included in the official album Super Famicom New Game Sound Museum Vol. 5.

Mario Kart 64[edit]

Main article: Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 64 theme)

In Mario Kart 64, the theme that plays in Rainbow Road shares some elements with "Rainbow Road". Like the Super Mario Kart theme, Mario Kart 64's Rainbow Road theme begins with a Isus chord to I chord progression. Also like Super Mario Kart, the melody of the theme is based around jumping and walking between the tonic and the dominant.[2]

Mario Kart: Super Circuit[edit]

Main article: Rainbow Road (Mario Kart: Super Circuit theme)

Mario Kart: Super Circuit features two arrangements of "Rainbow Road".

The theme that plays in Rainbow Road features the first motif of "Rainbow Road" in the intro, this time in the key of D major: an ascending I - II - ♭III - IV chord progression over a tonic pedal bass (notated as D5 - E/D - F - G(add2)). However, the tonic pedal only extends to the II chord in this arrangement. Using this motif as the opening for the theme would go on to become a common element of "Rainbow Road" themes throughout the Mario Kart series.[2]

A faithful arrangement of "Rainbow Road" with chiptune instrumentation plays in the Rainbow Road extra track.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!![edit]

Main article: Rainbow Road (Mario Kart: Double Dash!! theme)

In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, the theme that plays in Rainbow Road uses the first "Rainbow Road" motif as its opening with a I - II - ♭III - IV chord walkup in the original key of C major, similar to Mario Kart: Super Circuit's Rainbow Road theme. However, this arrangement makes a couple of changes. It does not feature a tonic pedal, and it changes the IV chord in the progression to a V7sus chord, replacing the F(add2) chord with a F/G chord (notated as Cmaj7 - D - E♭ - F/G).[2]

Mario Kart DS[edit]

Main article: Rainbow Road (Mario Kart DS theme)

Mario Kart DS features two arrangements of "Rainbow Road".

The beginning of the theme that plays in the Single Player menu features backing chords that follow the exact same I - II - ♭III - IV chord progression from "Rainbow Road". After the I - II - ♭III - IV progression plays, several variations of this progression can be heard, eventually looping back to the original I - II - ♭III - IV.

The theme that plays in Rainbow Road opens in the key of D major with the I - II - ♭III - IV chord progression motif from "Rainbow Road". The tonic pedal from Super Mario Kart also returns, and like in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, the I - II - ♭III - IV chord progression is changed to a I - II - ♭III - V7sus chord progression (notated as D - E/D - F/D - G/A). Additionally, the funk bassline in this version is clearly inspired by the bassline from the original "Rainbow Road". The melody of this arrangement's second section not only showcases the "Rainbow Road" open fifths motif, but also is a rhythmically altered reinterpretation of the bridge section melody from "Rainbow Road".[2]

Mario Kart Wii[edit]

Main article: Rainbow Road (Mario Kart Wii theme)

In Mario Kart Wii, the theme that plays in Rainbow Road opens in the key of D major with the I - II - ♭III - IV chord progression and tonic pedal motif from "Rainbow Road" (notated as D - E/D - F/D - G/D). However, instead of the repetition being an exact copy of the preceding ascending chord progression like in Super Mario Kart, the repetition instead descends in a I - ♭VII - ♭VI - V pattern, keeping the tonic pedal until the ♭VI chord (notated as D - C/D - B♭/D - G/A).[2] The melody quotes the refrain of "Egg Planet" from Super Mario Galaxy, which begins with the same open fifths as the second common Rainbow Road motif.

Mario Kart 7[edit]

Main article: Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 7 theme)

Mario Kart 7 features two arrangements of "Rainbow Road".

The theme that plays in Rainbow Road opens with a chord progression in the key of E major inspired by the I - II - ♭III - IV motif from "Rainbow Road", but it is not identical. The arrangement instead opens with a I - II - ♭II - I progression with the ♭II being held for two bars instead of one, and the underlying tonic pedal making a return (notated as E - F#/E - F/E - E(sus4)). Additionally, the melody of Mario Kart 7's "Rainbow Road" is based around the tonic and the dominant, a callback to the second motif from "Rainbow Road".[2]

A faithful arrangement of "Rainbow Road" plays in SNES Rainbow Road. It is likewise titled "SNES Rainbow Road" in the Nintendo Music app. Aside from enhanced percussion, this arrangement is faithful to the original. A looping drum set beat is added to the instrumentation whenever the player is driving at top speed while in first place.

Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]

Main article: Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8 theme)
“I love this tune, so I was really nervous when rearranging, as I didn't want to spoil it. This is the third time this has appeared as a classic course, so I wanted to make it as bright and sparkly as possible. I went all-out and used a cutting edge digital synth sound.”
—Liner notes in the Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack

Mario Kart 8 and the Nintendo Switch port, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, features two arrangements of "Rainbow Road"

In the theme that plays in Rainbow Road, the transition between the bridge and the beginning of the theme uses an altered version of the Mario Kart Wii take on the I - II - ♭III - IV motif from "Rainbow Road" all over a tonic pedal bass key of A-flat major. While Mario Kart Wii included a I - ♭VII - ♭VI - V descending chord progression, Mario Kart 8 changes the V chord to an additional ♭VII chord, resulting in a I - ♭VII - ♭VI - ♭VII chord progression (notated as A♭ - G♭/A♭ - F♭/A♭ - G♭/A♭). Additionally, the main melody of Mario Kart 8's Rainbow Road theme features the 1st-5th motif from "Rainbow Road", as it is largely based off of elaborations of wide fourth and fifth leaps mostly between the dominant and tonic of the key.[2]

As part of The Legend of Zelda × Mario Kart 8 DLC, a faithful arrangement of "Rainbow Road" arranged by Atsuko Asahi plays in SNES Rainbow Road. It is likewise titled "SNES Rainbow Road" in the Nintendo Music app and the official Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack album. A looping drum set beat is added to the instrumentation whenever the player is driving at top speed while in first place.

Mario Kart World features two arrangements of "Rainbow Road".

The theme that plays in Rainbow Road features several elements from "Rainbow Road". The main motif of the theme, repeated in all sections of the music, primarily features fourth and fifth leaps between the tonic and the dominant, similar to "Rainbow Road". At the start of the first section, the rising I - II - ♭III - IV chord progression is also featured, albeit altered, extended and having the tonic pedal removed, resulting in the chord progression of I - ii - ♭III - ♭III - IV - ♭V - iv (D - Em - F - F/G - G/A - A/B♭ - Gm7/C).[4] The entire track is simply titled "Rainbow Road" in the game's pause menu.

A faithful, funky house arrangement of "Rainbow Road" can play in Free Roam during nighttime.

NES Remix 2[edit]

In NES Remix 2, an arrangement "Rainbow Road" is incorporated in the arrangement of "P Switch BGM / Toad's House" in the 21st Bonus stage.[5]
