 ===Course layout===
 {{right|[[File:Mk64rainbowroad.png|thumb|upright=1.2|The big drop at the start. The player can make a long jump over it by hopping with precise timing when the road starts to descend, as seen in this picture.]]}}
-The course starts with a huge drop followed by a gentle uphill stretch passing through a rainbow ring. After the ring, there is a wide loop with neon signs of [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]] and [[Luigi]] on the loop's outside. Following the loop is a steady downward road that crosses over the steep drop where a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] sign can be seen. After the bridge is a corkscrew loop with a large star in the center and a [[Boo]] sign at the corkscrew's outside. Racers turn around a corkscrew to reach a hairpin bend, where signs of [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Yoshi]] are seen, with a [[Bowser]] sign in the distance. Shortly after the hairpin bend is a short straightaway followed by a smaller drop and small uphill stretch. A [[Toad]] neon sign can be seen after the drop as well as a wide right turn. A straightaway follows with a [[Wario]] sign present, then follows a final looping section, where the aforementioned Bowser sign is seen near the end of the track. After the loop is a final straightaway to the finish.
+The course begins with a long straightaway where the track curves downward and then more gently curves upward before soon becoming level again. Racers then pass through a rainbow ring and take a long gradual right turn, encountering the first set of [[Item Box]]es and passing neon signs of [[Mario]], [[Princess Peach|Peach]], and [[Luigi]] which all lie outside the turn. The track then briefly straightens out as racers reach another item set before there is a slight left turn with the track curving down. Here there is a neon [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] sign to the right of the track. The track then evens out and makes a very slight right turn before making a 360° counterclockwise loop around a large star. At the beginning of this loop is another item set, and at the end of this loop there is a neon [[Boo]] sign to the right of the track. A gradual right turn follows with another item set in the middle, then racers drive straight before making a gradual U-turn to the left. On the outside of this U-turn are neon signs of [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Yoshi]]. There is then another brief straight with another item set before the track makes a slight right turn and curves downward. It soon after curves upward and then evens out as racers continue driving straight, and then the track makes a very long and gradual U-turn to the right. At the start of this turn is another item set and a neon [[Toad]] sign on the outside, and towards the end of the turn is a neon [[Wario]] sign on the outside. Racers then reach another item set and make an equally long loop to the left as they pass a neon [[Bowser]] sign. After this loop is one last item set followed by two very slight turns, and then racers reach the finish line.
+Along the track, several [[Chain Chomp|Chomps]] can be found lodged in the middle of the track. They continuously travel the course in reverse and slide in a zigzag pattern. Racers that collide with them will be launched in the air.
