Rainbow Road (Super Mario Kart)

Rainbow Road made its debut in Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. This version is entirely open with no borders whatsoever, made harder also by its sharp ninety degree turns. It also has several invincible Thwomps that will make the player spin out whenever they touch them. As a result of its painful turns and it also being sans a border, fans consider it to be the most difficult Rainbow Road track of all. This version, minus the Thwomps, is very similar to the version in Mario Kart: Super Circuit.

A remastered version appears in Mario Kart 7 along with the newer version of Rainbow Road. This time the spiky Thwomps return, and when they slam down they will cause part of the track to wave, which the player can pull off some tricks if the waves are big enough.
