DS Rainbow Road (by Hellothere) - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe [4k]

[@Aktan_]

Hi! I don't know how many of you noticed but this is my second channel. Normally I upload track showcases there but this one was an exception! I'm currently working on Base Game Pass Wave 7 by the way :)

[@nolanjthesupergoanimator2909]

Yeah, and what track is coming up next in BCP Reforged?

[@Iredecent]

on the wii there's a fan-made version of MK called MKwii deluxe, it has a bunch of remakes of these tracks and ports from snes to wii u (or switch), one some of the rainbow road maps are insane and amazing, like the n64 MK8 remake is there! sadly the remakes are a random chance so u might get the original most of the time. 8k+ tracks in total with fan made tracks

[@nolanjthesupergoanimator2909]

@@Iredecent I think there are tracks ported over from Tour into that game too

People are about to realize how much potential this track has

[@kendragon7]

This was the one Rainbow Road I was most hoping would make it into Mario Kart 8, I'm glad someone made it into a reality!

[@MarshedWS]

All ive been saying since 2015, it should've been this Rainbow Road that was in the original DLC and not SNES

[@deserted4ever]

@@MarshedWSI feel like this rainbow road is too climatic to just be in a random DLC slot, hopefully this is the final retro in MK9

[@WERV2003]

The positive side of the tracks that were left out of the Booster Course Pass is that they have a better chance of appearing in MK9 with probably a better visual treatment than even the base tracks from 8

[@GamerzRus]

I was hoping for GameCube

[@JoeyBL-ct5jq]

I started with mariokart ds, and seeing how they managed to put one of my favorite rainbow roads into mk 8 deluxe is just amazing

Look how far we’ve come from that original DS Rainbow Road with the hexagonal pattern

[@LuisDGamer]

Yo vi ese CT cuando era novedad, me siento viejo de lo mucho que han evolucionado los CT en MK8 desde ese tiempo

[@Rad0115]

FINALLY. A DS Rainbow Road custom track that doesn’t have a bunch of ugly objects floating in the background. Idk who started that trend with this track and idk how they haven’t realized that it’s ugly. This custom track is beautiful 🙏🙏

[@xp.wesley858]

If its official Nintendo IP that correlates to the theme like Astronaut Toads, or planets, im fine, but i get what you mean. Some tracks like in CTGP Wii, has random floating giant memes and it looks incredibly stupid.

[@Ilikecats731]

This is like the 3rd DS Rainbow Road mod I’ve seen for mk8. I’m not complaining tho.

[@Sky_The_Fluffy_Dragon]

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.

[@Mucrush]

I'm glad someone made the first loop into one of those sideways loops. The normal loop always messed with the camera whenever people made custom tracks! Amazing! ❤

[@DaniSheiki]

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

[@Natka74]

Tru!

[@TsutomuXD]

I love how the music changes when you enter on a loop

[@Tauruswithouttherus]

[@Natka74]

@@Tauruswithouttherus It does change slightly!

[@GBA2Loop]

It's beautiful I'm not crying

[@TheName_J]

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

[@diegobanos6190]

Looks amazing Just a little nitpick of mine: i think it needs a couple of spectators like those spacesuit toads or spaceships. It feels kinda lonely compared to other rainbow roads

[@Rad0115]

Honestly I actually like that feeling. It makes it feel more peaceful and majestic. It matches the same vibe of the original.

[@diegobanos6190]

​@@Rad0115 yes, it is faithful to the DS one, it delivers and prettty good on that But after the remakes from the OG game, i think a little bit of spectators to fill it up a bit would be nice (also since it takes assets from oddysey, some of those characters could be watching the race in the background)

[@Robinnezz_Ofc]

This is a very good remake that fits in the MK8/8DX Game Style!

[@LeGroKK2]

The textures are so beautiful ! And the details of the rocks from SMO is quite a nice touch ! It's a shame that the shadow rendering engine seems not a fan of the mod

[@FrappeN64]

Played this and it was amazing lol, Amazing job by HeyThere1985

[@nolanjthesupergoanimator2909]

Yes, Amazing job to HelloThere1985, and I think the Special Wave that he's making will contain these 4 tracks: 1. Piranha Plant Pipeline, 2. 3DS Shy Guy Bazaar, 3. Wii Toad's Factory, and 4. as seen above, DS Rainbow Road

[@Marcel-2174]

Probably the best fanmade remake of this track i've seen, it's awesome!

[@DuckTheGreatWesternEngine0912]

This looks wonderful! Also is it just me or does the music slightly change on the anti-gravity parts? If yes then it’s a very nice touch!

[@AaronDawgzilla9055]

This race track from the Mario Kart DS series looks so nostalgic than I imagined before.

[@luislara9952]

The textures look awesome!! the other versions were good but kinda overwhelming

[@TheRealHellothere]

This looks stunning! Can't wait to see more of your amazing work Hellothere!

[@leonmystique9372]

As much as I love Mario Circuit being released on the DS This is a big missed opportunity for the booster course pass, and this is in my opinion the best application for the anti-gravity wheels mechanic.

[@LuisDGamer]

Bro... CÓMO ES QUE ESTO NO ES OFICIAL??? La iluminación es perfecta, el modelado del camino está muy pulido, los detalles del fondo concuerdan con la temática, la textura es sensacional y la música de alguna forma es acertada a una remasterización oficial! Lloré viendo esto 🥹

[@opositordelchavismo]

It looks great!

[@AlexDaZombie]

Looks original!

[@michaelbonner4126]

FIRE

[@Clove_3]

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 ✨

[@shadowmewfred09]

Thank you hellothere for doing a track that should have been 8 justice it's as beautiful as ever ❤

[@Thegamingwizard55]

This is absolutely incredible, amazing job! I always loved DS RR and imagined how well it would work with anti-gravity

[@tiggerforhim]

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!

[@Gekkodevon]

Crazy how well polished this track is

[@InsideDisneyOfficial]

I can see this making a comeback in Mario Kart 9. Either this, or the GameCube version (hopefully both).

[@generalcrab0009]

We’re going to get GBA Rainbow Road.

[@SpikeThePorcupine23]

This track was well made.

[@Queen_MJfan]

1:50 Once Blue Yoshi falls off, the blue shell is out to get him regardless.

[@devynmckenney6988]

[@bob171]

The only thing I would change is maybe not make the entire looping section speed boosted. It seems a bit hard to control

[@spriterocks03]

A custom tracks with perfect colours

[@jeffreywang7665]

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.

[@sediew]

[@VestedUTuber]

Ah, the FIRST time Mario Kart went upside down. Honestly this track massively benefits from the antigrav mechanics, the original had some janky stuff going on with the loop and corkscrew.

[@Tauruswithouttherus]

0:21 something fishy about that block

[@Dylan1000-zw1dv]

Its a moonrock from smo

[@93ImagineBreaker]

The color of the road is more rainbow then some of 8's RR.

[@joshuagreen1510]

You know damn well they'd make it all zero gravity for no reason, did it with wii rainbow road

[@ZACKMAN2007]

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

[@BigJDawg4523]

They should add this one in the next Mario Kart game.

[@alfonsobarriga1587]

I wish there more 8 Courses in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (Shrek Pack DLC)

[@chunzprocessor]

I purely wonder why they didn't remake this for MK8. It has some anti gravity sections tho

[@generalcrab0009]

Multiple reasons. 1. They’re remaking each Rainbow Road in order. MK7 had SNES RR. MK8 had N64 RR. The next game will have GBA RR. 2. It wasn’t in Tour. Tour probably can’t work with loops and corkscrews.

[@chunzprocessor]

@@generalcrab0009 MK8 and Tour have SNES Rainbow, too 😂 But I agree about MKSC Rainbow

[@generalcrab0009]

@@chunzprocessor I think there are reasons for that as well. The DLCs can allow for courses to return even after their first retro appearance, and I suppose SNES RR was easy to make. As for Tour, that game is built off MK7, which is why most of its courses are included.

[@tealcamellia]

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.

[@Natka74]

Honestly, I gotta agree with this. But knowing Nintendo..

[@xaidoesmusic]

[@bryantalvarado8839]

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.

[@rossini472]

The loop being twisted on it's side makes it much less jarring with the anti-grav.

[@Zebra_fandomfella03]

Who did the the music for this track? It sounds so faithful to Mario Kart 8 that I'd almost think it was official.

[@madrid_drive_enjoyer]

Why do custom track creators make the item sets extremely spaced out? Is there a code problem or something?

[@Natka74]

Nope. No code problem. They're just incorrectly placed

[@Mickelraven]

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.
