'''Rainbow Road''' is the fourth and last course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. The course has once again increased in length compared to previous renditions, but still shares a similar theme to its [[Wii Rainbow Road|predecessor]]. Instead of floating above the atmosphere, it now takes place around the [[Moon]], with several small asteroids in the background. As a result, unlike past Rainbow Roads, this incarnation features the player driving on off-road surfaces such as the Moon itself and rings of {{wp|Saturn}}. It is the first Rainbow Road course to contain one lap divided into three sections, being followed by {{classic-link|N64|Rainbow Road}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. Due to its length, it is one of the longest courses in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, and as such is also one of the longest Rainbow Roads in the series; however, the iteration of Rainbow Road in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'' takes more time to complete, as it is three laps long instead of one. | '''Rainbow Road''' is the fourth and last course of the [[Special Cup]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''.

It is based on its appearance and layout in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', albeit with a graphical overhaul, giving the course a neon aesthetic. The rainbow arches on the start-and-finish truss and the truss at the start of the second section are now a complete circle. The start-and-finish checkered line is now blue and cyan. The [[Dash Panel]]s on the Saturn-like planet’s rings now have boost [[Ring (Mario Kart series)|rings]] on top of them. The boost rings and the star-shaped rails are now in the form of the ones in {{classic-link|N64|Rainbow Road}}. The Uranus-like planet is now replaced by {{wp|Neptune}}. The moon section is now in [[anti-gravity]], just like the battle course [[Lunar Colony]]. Alongside {{classic-link|Wii|Koopa Cape}}, it is one of two courses in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' to not entirely be set in anti-gravity, but not feature an [[Antigravity Panel]] or [[half-pipe]] to mark the beginning of an anti-gravity section; this is due to anti-gravity being activated as players fall toward the moon. The rainbow tunnel spins more slowly than in past iterations of the course and the star-shaped ring on it is now yellow. The minimap now lacks the holes in the wavy road prior to the moon section. Like {{classic-link|SNES|Rainbow Road}}, when a player approaches the curve on the planet’s rings and the Moon, two and ten green arrow holograms will appear behind the turn and fence respectively, and indicate the direction in which the player must drive. Once the player has made the turn, the arrows will disappear. | ||
