'''Rainbow Road''' is the final race course of ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', both in the [[Special Cup]] and the [[All-Cup Tour]]. Like [[Luigi Circuit (GCN)|Luigi Circuit]] is the first, Rainbow Road is automatically the last course in the All-Cup Tour. The GCN rendition is the second Rainbow Road to include [[Dash Panel]]s, the first being the ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]'' [[Rainbow Road (GBA)|rendition]]. This version of Rainbow Road also has rails in parts of the course. It features a helix and a large pipe that launch drivers to the highest point of the track after reaching the very bottom (a possible precursor to the [[Launch Star]] featured in later Rainbow Roads). It also contains giant rainbow floating sculptures of items, and rains stars that racers can pick up. Depending if the mode is in split-screen or not, Rainbow Road will take place either over a city or in deep space. The city located below the course could be [[Mushroom City]], according to the design of some of the buildings. When playing in split screen mode, the city and the item sculptures are removed | '''Rainbow Road''' is the final race course of ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', both in the [[Special Cup]] and the [[All-Cup Tour]].

In the [[All-Cup Tour]], it is always the final race to compete in. Its staff ghost is [[Mario]] and [[Princess Peach|Peach]] in the [[Red Fire]]. Although there are no visible clouds in the sky, their reflections can be seen on the track surface. | ||
