This version of Rainbow Road returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[Holiday Tour (2019)|2019 Holiday Tour]], alongside [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute 2]]. Various changes have been made to the track - it is noticeably flatter overall, with several turns being far less banked. The series of jumps following the first few turns have been aligned. The stars now have disco balls at the edges like the star on the spinning tunnel in the final section. The series of turns following the second Glide Ramp have also been made tamer. The starting line now resembles a rainbow and has a star surrounding it and displays the ''Mario Kart'' logo in cyan, [[Toad (species)|Toads]] in space suits now appear as spectators next to the spaceships, and the moon near the first turn is now a blue planet, while Jupiter replaces the second moon. [[Earth]] is also now visible in the background of the track, and the galaxy has been replaced by the {{wp|Andromeda Galaxy}}. This course is a favorite of [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]], [[Birdo (species)|Birdo (Light Blue)]], [[Mario|Mario (Happi)]], [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Aurora)]], [[Princess Daisy|Daisy (Fairy)]], [[Fire Mario|Fire Rosalina]], [[King Boo|King Boo (Gold)]], [[King Bob-omb|King Bob-omb (Gold)]], [[Birdo (species)|Birdo (White)]], and the [[Mii|Rosalina and Gold Mii Racing Suits]]. This course is also a favorite of [[Mario|Mario (Satellaview)]] and [[Rosalina|Rosalina (Swimwear)]] if they are at level 3, [[Baby Peach]] if she is at level 6, and [[Dry Bowser|Dry Bowser (Gold)]] if he is at level 8. Like all other courses, Rainbow Road has a reverse variant referred to as '''Rainbow Road R''', a trick variant known as '''Rainbow Road T''', and a reverse and trick variant known as '''Rainbow Road R/T''', which debuted in the [[Baby Rosalina Tour]].

The T and R/T variants of this track are two of four courses in ''Mario Kart Tour'' that do not start in the same place as the original, the other ones being [[3DS Rock Rock Mountain|3DS Rock Rock Mountain T]] and [[Singapore Speedway|Singapore Speedway R/T]]. For both variants, the starting line is now just after the spinning tunnel.
