Super Mario 64 Walkthrough - Course 15 - Rainbow Ride

[@invalid_user_handle]

They say, if you listen closely, you can hear the screams of frustration from the amount of players that fell...

[@jmrd8888]

Maybye the background would be that picture at the bottom of the stairs.

[@NormalUser7392]

Idea: at night over 9:00 PM - 5:00 AM, while at Rainbow Ride, it will go to unfair mode due to how frustrating the level is.

[@tylercox1875]

Every level in the upstairs on the n64 version is frustrating af bc of the shitty camera and it being very hard to wall jump on the n64 version it’s much easier on the ds version

[@RhysTorgerson]

Yes. 10:00 eastern time for me and I am trying to beat the game and I've died 48 times

[@RhysTorgerson]

Make that 49

[@slicklyndon1756]

This level is trash. For me the level isn't even hard. But I hate how one little mistake can make you start all the way back. Like... If I died in bob-omb battlefield, or fell off the stage on whomps fortress, I could instantly do my objective again. But on rainbow ride, one try takes so long and gets boring quick because of the carpets. I've died only twice, Mario fell off one of the platforms which caused him to have a long fall until going out of the stage. I may stop playing for now as I'm going for 100% completion on all games, I have 110 stars, 75 shine sprites in sunshine and 30 stars on Galaxy. rainbow ride is making me regret vowing to get 100% completion in 64 though. : /

[@tristanneal9552]

@@slicklyndon1756 for me, that's the problem with the whole games design? Die or fall off the edge? Restart the whole level. Exit the level? Go back to the 1st floor of the castle. Lose all the lives? Get booted outside of the castle. This game's idea of difficulty is punishing you with tedium

[@johnmoss1444]

I noticed that this is the only sandbox Mario game not to have Mario joined with some kind of buddy assisting him. Super Mario Sunshine has FLUDD, the Super Mario Galaxy games have Luma inside Mario’s hat, and Super Mario Odyssey has Cappy.

[@raptorrrr]

And now, fury has jr

[@Dilopho]

I suppose technically he does have lakitu operating the camera.

[@JPAxtell1214]

They’re right, because this was the first 3D Mario, and not a side scroller, Lakitu would be his handy helper.

[@starrythestar]

I think that’s perfect. It gives a better core element.

This level was extremely frustrating but also one of the most memorable and nostalgic ones somehow. The view sometimes got pretty damn great

Well, it *did* end up as a Smash Bros. Melee stage.

[@kylesterling1441]

I HATED this level growing up in the 90s. But man, this was so nostalgic. This actually helped my depression going back in time essentially. Just don't get off the magic carpet for more than a few seconds lol or you'll be stranded.

This level was both frustrating and yet amazing. I just remember there being so many new parts of this level by taking different carpet routes. The fact you landed outside the castle too was super annoying but made completing it even better

[@SolidSonicTH]

I always thought this level using the Slider theme was a bit out of place.

[@tylercox1875]

Yeah

[@doct0rnic]

I tell ya what it gets old after awhile

[@starrythestar]

Yeah you are not wrong there. The slider theme was a bit overused. Edit: I think what makes it out of place is the slow moving carpets and slow pace in a lot of areas. If they added more of an adventure and a more heavenly sky I would have been fine with it. Because I think the whistling is why they used it. I also think that the secret courses that that were underground without a slide should not even have them. Also the race with the Koopa.

[@richardgarcia7521]

This is my favorite level in the whole game. Regardless to how slow the magic carpets are, the virtual view is sooo vast! And I like how although the dimensions of the 'tricky triangles' aren't present in the background when seen from the first and second magic carpets, AT LEAST the stars still show in the VAST background. Most furthest away, • Swingin' in the Breeze to the far right from the 'tricky triangles'. But since the stars, when they're blue, are darker and easier to see at a virtual distance, I like the view quality of the star while it's still yellow. And of course I and many other fans wish Wing caps were in this level. But although it would have made the level too much easier, the way that the level designer(s) could have included Wing caps without making the level too much easier, would have been if the first reachable block were on top of The Big House in the Sky. The rest of the blocks, only reachable using the Wing cap, could have been on little island platforms. More cannons too, also unreachable without the Wing cap.

[@FierySprites]

I can't tell you how many lives I lost in the DS remake to this one level. I kept falling off the level so many times - usually on my quest to get the 100-Coin Star, it wasn't even funny. (It was infuriating, as you could no doubt tell.)

[@wes788411]

I am playing on tge Switch and it took me forever to get 100 coins. I was having trouble getting the blue coins that are on a timer. I finally tried using the dpad for the wall jumps and it made it much easier.

Somewhere over and around the rainbow is where you'll find Rainbow Ride, the final level in Super Mario 64 before you must face the ultimate final battle. This level looks kind of pretty, but the obstacles are anything but easy. At least Mario should be warmed up for the final battle. Good luck and happy flying!

You've probably seen Tricky Triangles (8:22-9:10). Many of the other stars are not very memorable, are omitted in 70 star speed runs, or simply don't end up in KZbin videos, because runners don't die at their tricks.

[@ghostflame9211]

I always thought TTC was an easier level compared to this one. years/decades later, i found out that more people hate the clock tower over rainbow ride and i just cant see it. its so much easier to fall off here than in the clock, and the clock sometimes gives you a chance to land on a lower level. even if it chunks your health, its better than dying imo. having to wait around for the carpets is stupid, and if youre not fast enough for any reason, the carpet disappears and youre either left stranded or forced to risk a long jump. and even if you make it past the carpets, one side has the ship with stupid wind mechanics on it, as well as the cannon with terrible aim that you have to compensate for, which if you miss means you get to start all over. and thats assuming you found the pink bomb omb on the literal other side of the level beforehand to open the cannon for you first. if nothing else, the clock is unique in that it lets you control the speed of the moving parts within the level. even if it's widely considered to be poorly implemented, at least it's a different mechanic that makes it stand out. meanwhile rainbow ride's gimmicks just suck. the only exception would be the 100 coins: its way easier on rainbow ride than the clock for the sheer fact taht there are so many coins here, whereas theres barely 120 or so in TTC.

[@bigbannana9658]

The clock has a lot more tricky jumps to make, where as rainbow ride is just being patient and careful
