3DS Rainbow Road: Difference between revisions

This version of Rainbow Road returns as the fourth and last course of the [[Moon Cup]] in the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. It is based on its appearance and layout in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', albeit with a graphical overhaul, giving the course a neon aesthetic. The [[Dash Panel]]s on the Saturn-like planet’s rings now have boost [[Ring (Mario Kart series)|rings]] on top of them. The boost rings and the star-shaped rails on the track now resemble the ones used on {{classic-link|N64|Rainbow Road}}. Some of the star gates the player drives through are now silver instead of gold. The rainbow arch on the start-and-finish truss is now a complete circle. Uranus is now replaced by {{wp|Neptune}}. The moon section is now in [[anti-gravity]], just like the battle course [[Lunar Colony]].<ref>Nintendo of America (November 21, 2022).

Retrieved November 21, 2022.</ref> It is the first and only course not entirely in anti-gravity in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' to not have an anti-gravity section marked with an [[Antigravity Panel]], as anti-gravity is activated as players fall toward the moon. The rainbow tunnel spins more slowly than in past iterations of the course. The arranged music includes both the "moon" and "final lap" versions; it and {{classic-link|3DS|DK Jungle}} are the only retro courses in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' to retain every unique variation of their background music.
