[@deguzmanjacob2781]

I think the only reason why it's nostalgic is because the track was supposed to be the final track in the original mario kart 8 (before the DLC) and it's the final challenge so the music also has to feel grand and it feels in a way you accomplished something along your journey.

[@Sadako2602]

Ironic, in the N64, the track was too long and the music too repetitive, in this one, the track is too short and the music too good.

[@tatertot64]

This track perfectly encapsulates why MK8DX is so damn good. I can't yet speak for all the Booster courses, but the prior retro courses felt like damn near ENTIRELY new tracks. Almost despite that, these vibrant and downright lovely remixes remind us what we loved about the original games.

[@annagrace2604]

In my opinion, Best Mario kart track and song! The visuals are amazing! The train, the fireworks of the characters, the city right below you. And even though it is rainbow, the road itself looks so good! And this song is a total jam!!! I listen to this on loop whenever I feel sad or down. It brings me confidence and joy and makes me feel like I'm destined for something great. It tells me to keep moving on and I love that. That is also what the train means to me in the stage. It keeps moving on and it has nothing stopping it. Not even on a track! But this song is probably the best song in Nintendo history in my opinion.

(Verse 2) The path is tough An the winding road is long But The bonds you forged make you strong No matter what In your soul rings this song So Eyes on the road, and drive on! Although there's much left to do Still, be proud through and through Those you love Love you back too The Rainbow Road waits for you Ride on and reach for the light That shines in the night AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (Final Verse) Along the road Lies those who push us back But Your friends will keep you on track Hold fast your heart You know your love is right So Keep driving on through the night Be proud to be who you are Shine like a Superstar Hold your pride Deep in your heart You know that you've come so far Ride on and reach for the light That shines in the night AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
