Rainbow Road - Mario Kart DS Music Extended

If you press R repeatedly on the loop, you glitch out. Learned this the hard way

Just drive straight to the railing during the first loop. You'll fall right out of bounds

[@duoge9139]

The loop was godlike.

[@mrdriver2988]

Man I wish they add the loop again in rainbow road. Or even better the next DLC for Mario Kart 8 they add DS Rainbow road.

After replaying this game recently, I can say this is my favourite Rainbow Road ever - Outside of MK8's recreation of N64's Rainbow Road. The anti gravity, the hell of getting pushed off by DK on 150cc, the nostalgia, and the 0:38 timestamp. Truly, the best of the best

[@sophiebyers5496]

[@Xylluk]

Sadly I don't know if that'll be the case, and I have a good reason. Seeing as the 3DS Rainbow Road was the final track of the first half of the DLC, it could possibly mean there will only be one other Rainbow Road, at the end of the second half, which will probably be the Wii version, seeing as there is a datamine for a Wii track in the final cup for the last track.

[@Thegamingwizard55]

Good times, more innocent times I remember taking my DS to school with this game and becoming the coolest in class, it was the best (even when I got my butt kicked by someone actually decent at the game XD) Edit: I feel it's notable to add that it was ONLY up to the special cup I didn't struggle with, pretty much all the retro tracks, I was terrible 😂😂
