Super Mario Kart (SNES) - Rainbow Road Special Cup (150cc) record

[@TakahashiKira1]

If you can singlehandedly conquer the original SNES Rainbow Road, like this guy did, then you are a legit Mario Kart racer.

[@Falkner1999]

I can do the glitch here, here’s how it goes Ya go start off but don’t boost, be at the first turn but don’t turn, then turn around, full speed to the finish line the jump once you are at it, then if you are lucky, lakitu will put you around the finish line then passed it and it will count as a lap

[@Falkner1999]

Did I say that right?

[@shockingjolteon3259]

I did it once for both versions on the 3ds

[@FaqUrNwoBS]

I used to with Bowser, and if you were lucky you would get a mushroom and do a speed jump trick somewhere in the map I can't remember

[@oscarl5150]

I could but only for SNES.

[@julienghim16]

I played SMK when i was young. My favorite character was Toad, but to have the best times you had to play Bowser or Donkey. I'm sorry but the skill of that guy isn't amazing, i'd say average. I'd like to see him with Bowser on the Rainbow Road, Toad and Koopa are way too easy to handle.

[@raymondmma51]

As an OG Super Mario Kart guy myself I respect this run to the fullest. That was clean as hell, man...

Same, I like to think I'm pretty good at this game, but even I couldn't race like that on 150cc Rainbow Road 🙌🏼 This guy took those corners so well at high speed.

No cheating in this vid, I pretty much play it the same way. The toughest part is getting past the guys you have to lap without hitting them.

The original Rainbow Road. This is the track for true Mario Kart Racers. Not as clumsy or random as a Gran Turismo track, an elegant battleground for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Rainbow Road was the guardian of peace and justice in the Old 16-bit era. Before the dark times... before the PlayStation.

[@submariner103182]

Wise words indeed, thank you Obi-Wan Kongobi!

[@WinginWolf]

The jumps are there to avoid skidding and also quickly change direction. Hence it’s really useful here especially when cutting corners and dodging the thwomps.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

1993, Woodridge, Queensland - 7:30am: A small group of children in before-school care take turns playing Super Mario Kart. One of them manages to make it to Rainbow Road. The rest of the children go crazy. We all watch in awe as a psychedelic wonder assails our eyes and wondrous music fills our ears. We go to class that day feeling like we've seen Heaven itself.

[@alexjackson1130]

sick driving

[@JonGamer16]

Man, this guy plays SMK like a TAS speedrunner. I remember when I could play this rainbow road without falling... it was hard, let alone trying to dodge the thwomps and DK Jr and Bowser AND whatever crap they try to snipe you with

[@EmirateReign]

They're meant to be the fastest 2 aren't they but I never could control them well. Toad for life! But the person finishing last would depend on what driver you were using, I use to love Luigi or Princess being the losers because her mushrooms 🍄 were so annoying if you ran into one, same with Luigi and his star

[@123TauruZ321]

Depends on who you use.

[@turbo8628]

The speed of the other racers is dependant upon what character you choose. You can mess up this system by making one of your main rivals finish outside the top 3 but that requires doing it on the last lap otherwise the rubberbanding will quickly bring them back up the field. Used to love the combat mode or whatever it was called cos i was like a sniper with those green shells

Out of all the games that had rainbow road the music in this game is my favorite like if you agree

[@BcroG11]

My record with Koopa is 1:17:92. I used the mushroom once, on the ''bouncer'' where the track splits in two parts. You simply jump over the entire curve and save a second approximately.

[@Mystrohan]

Childhood memories. Really vibed so much on this music when I was 5!

[@lampoilsalesman]

this guy didn't just conquer rainbow road, he brought it to its knees

[@Eastsidegeorgiaboy]

I remember pulling out all the stops trying to win this on 100cc, so I could unlock 150cc. Came down to the last lap, as I was in 4th, and I needed first place to win everything. I kicked all my friends and my sister out of the room so I could concentrate. It was looking like I was gonna lose until I got a box with a mushroom. I saved it for the straightaway near the end of the track, that had the yellow jump on it. I started a drift, and used my mushroom speed boost and hit the yellow bump, and jumped hard right, over the pit, and onto the final straightaway in first place. 150cc unlocked! Greatness ensued

[@KeanusReal]

I was super expert of this game just like this video when i was 11 year old. lovely memorable video!

[@Rj-pw7zs]

[@GuardianofAges2023]

I'm just...speechless. I grew up with this game and to this day I still can't get 1st place on Rainbow Road on 150cc. Comparing this to Mario Kart 8...I'm just shaking my head. This guy is a legend.

I was able to get the Gold trophy on all the cups and even Special cup on 150cc But Star Fox SNES Is much harder than this game

[@UltimaHeartless]

[@funkyfr35h]

This one was unbelievably hard, I had a super nintendo at like age 5. It was actually quite old at the time and most people had a game cube or wii at the time. I bought a nintendo switch a few months ago and i found this on the mario kart 8 deluxe and man, they made this level too easy with auto-drive and such.

[@Mahkwa]

My old friends and I spent months playing SNES Mario Kart time trials on Rainbow Road and Ghost Valley 1. We were able to get 41 seconds on Ghost Valley 1. we found you could actually clip the wall on turns without hitting them, which most of the WR holders don't do on Mario Kart. You can also use the slide spot after the first turn to carry you into a slide along the wall on the 2nd turn, clipping the blocks on the 2nd turn by 1/3rd of bowser's front cart. Of course we were just friends, stoned, goofing off in an era where you had to have a chunk of money to buy a camcorder to record that stuff. You could also abuse the slide with Bowser on Rainbow Road and never lose speed with him, hanging the front of your cart off the edge through the turns.

[@JGoodenFLA]
