Rainbow Road from the Mario Kart series is best categorized as environmental because it represents a fictional setting and a designed external environment rather than something related to genetics. Here’s why: Why It’s Environmental • Setting-Based: Rainbow Road is an imaginative racecourse created by game developers. It’s a visually stimulating and dynamic environment within the game world. • Interaction: Players navigate it as part of the external, environmental challenges in the game, much like navigating a physical space. • Not Inherent to the Player: Unlike genetics, which refers to inherited traits or biological predispositions, Rainbow Road does not connect to a player’s genetic makeup. Summary Rainbow Road is an external, environmental concept as it represents a setting and external conditions players experience in the game. It does not relate to inherited or genetic traits.

Wow biggest respect to the creator. This looks awesome

This. is. the. best. version. I. have. ever. seen!

Live aktans content!

NEO BOWSER CITY LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOO

i also like that it has no glider or boat passages. imao they‘d break the flow

that drop after the spiral gets me off guard every time and I am a huge fan of it

Call me crazy, but I don't think that DS Rainbow Road should get antigravity in its loop-de-loops, for three reasons. #1: It feels like it would just turn an iconic, track-defining thing into just another antigravity turn #2: While driving in a loop-de-loop on the DS, you would get a constant speed boost (retextured to not have a massive orange panel across the entire part) and the camera would zoom out. I don't expect Nintendo to make unique camera effects or speed boost panels for just one track or something, but still, adding antigravity kinda removes that #3: It's WAY cooler to be driven up the loop-de-loops purely by the sheer awesomeness of Rainbow Road instead of the technology of antigravity THIS IS NOT AT ALL A DISS OF ANYONE'S ABILITY TO MAKE MODS, THIS IS JUST PERSONAL OPINION.

:3

first secound statement!

Please check the description - the rest of the videos are linked there!

I wished this was in Wave 6 instead of SNES Bowser Castle 3 which should’ve been in Wave 5!

Nintendo literally had NO REASON to take base game pass down, its not even a mod 😭

i wish the course intro in this track was an electric guitar version of it

This track genuinely used to creep me out on the wii

I LOVE the "Laser Road Texture" ✨️ It has that early 2000's feeling of the Nintendo DS Lite

Looks like something from the legend of Zelda

Wow

1:47 how do you get that unlucky where you are booed twice?

This is nuts wtf

It looks pretty dang good, I think if the lighting was better it would look pretty legit

The first Rainbow Road i ever played. Mario Kart DS will forever hold a very special place in my heart. This custom track does it IMMENSE justice. The custom remix of the song is incredible too, it keeps that sense of magic and wonder from the DS version. Major props to HELLOTHERE. You did my childhood good.

To get this track to the next level, it needs: 1. Lava added somewhere at the end before and after the spiral. 2. A handful of corners need to be reworked (as even a Biddybuggy struggled with them) 3. Brighter arrows are needed even though they ruin the track a little. (Also there's no arrow at the turn at 2:45) 4. (Totally most important) THE BOWSER STATUE AT THE BEGINNING NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO DAMAGE THE PLAYERS LIKE IN Wii!)

This should've been in the base game. Huge L by Nintendo. Amazing CT nonetheless.

The mad lad even put in Marty and not just a regular Thwomp, my god, if only all custom tracks were this good.

I tried using an SD Card when downloading this but it didn't work. I don't know if i'm placing the files right, is there a way you can show me.

That's great! I hope we get some nice courses like this one in the next Mario Kart. I do hope they put an option for not getting the song faster in the Final Lap for those who want like me. Cause man, that soundtrack you used there is really great!

Wow, this is by far the best 3DS rr track I’ve seen. What it got me the most was the music change on the antigravity section. It was just… something magical ✨

0:50 Maybe I am too much of a Mario kart nerd but can we just admire how this person perfectly understands that at the core Mario Kart is a racing game and the items are more a side thing so rather than using his red shell to get past the person in front of them they instead kept going and got past them like you would a traditional race which we see pay off as here 2:03 they get to use that item as a save. Just something kinda cool I noticed

As imaginative as this is, I can’t help but prefer the more liminal and simplistic aesthetic of the original track. The fear factor with N64 Bowser’s Castle is how it’s just the hallways of a castle in a barren void of lava with Thwomps as the only living thing.

I fucking love how Instead of infinite lava everywhere around the castle, the whole castle is just floating on air and every little detail of this track from the anti gravity, the rooms, the bridge over a water chamber is so fucking accurate for a remake. I wish this track was in mario kart booster course pass but i doubt they can do something better than this.

This is How “Remaking” Tracks should look. The Original Layout but Modernized but at times have Layout Modifications to make it work better.

1990’s: Sega does what Nintendon’t 😈 2020’s: Fans do what Nintendon’t 🥺

This ain't a castle, this a citadel.

finally!!

Love it but the white shine is a bit too much on the road ahead😊

What's so intimidating about this is it's lack of lava. It looks like its floating in the sky, like it was ripped out of one of the Galaxy games or something. absolutely spectacular

If i could change anything about this track then i would twist it even more. Im talking making it all anti gravity. Banking the turns 90 degrees

Yeah, Pretty!

I'd love to see this track with the remix from Id (No Purpose)

Add the wiis version of the n64 music and this is a perfect course

I thought this was official.

This feels so real! The music sounds like an official remix of this song, the slight variations in the track's layout are on point to the style of Mario Kart 8, AND Athere are nifty references to Mario Odyssey! As someone who grew up playing Mario Kart DS, I love this custom track! Wonderful job!

The original one was better

amazing, but i'll dock a point because there's a chronic lack of lava in here.

Really nice work. But this remake feels rather small compared to the original. I don't think most of the corners of this track looked this tight.

Ok using giga bowser as the fire breathing statue is really clever
