Rainbow Road (F-Zero X)

Rainbow Road is the first Joker Cup course in F-Zero X. It is the same as in Mario Kart 64, though the track was altered to fit in line with the F-Zero theme. Barriers have been removed, and road bumps have been put in place of Chain Chomps. The course is not completely rainbow-colored, with many dark gray areas.

The idea that the track was entirely rebuilt on a much larger scale, can accommodate both the fact that the tracks are different from each game, but also the fact that the vehicles somehow roll the map in the same times in all three games while being hyper-speed modules able to reach 1000Km/h on F-Zero X and simple Go-Karts on Mario Kart 64.

Rainbow tracks also show up in some X cup courses. Also note that the well-known shortcut from Mario Kart 64 is blocked in F-Zero X and results in death even if aimed properly due to the control point system used to create the F-Zero X courses. If the player has the F-Zero X Expansion Kit, a remix of Mario Kart 64's Rainbow Road music will play instead of the normal music.

Every game in the Mario Kart series has a different version of the track. This version is based on the Mario Kart 64 track of the same name. Rainbow Road serves as the final course of the Special Cup and is among the hardest of courses.
