==Stage overview==
Rainbow Road consists of a flat rainbow platform that travels around the track and landing in several areas. Some of those destinations include the rings of Saturn, a white polka-dotted mushroom trampoline, the finish line, and a moon.

Brawl, Shy Guys will drive around the course and serve as damage-dealing obstacles. Unlike said stage though, the Shy Guys cannot be knocked out of the stage. Similar to Mute City from Super Smash Bros. Melee and Port Town Aero Dive from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the track while the moving platform is in motion deals upwards knockback.

The stage only consists of a single platform which does not follow the track, instead remaining still above the split-up roads following the tube. The Ω form depicts these roads as curved; in both the stage and the racetrack, the roads are straight.

==Trivia==
*The track in the stage is slightly altered from its original appearance in Mario Kart 7.
**All of the speed/gliding ramps are missing. Despite this, Shy Guys can still be seen with their gliders.
**The mushroom-based platform on the course no longer bounces racers off of it.
**The area right before the second section sign is no longer bumpy on the sides.
**Saturn's ring doesn't have breaks in it on the sides.
**The road right before the moon no longer bounces.
**The rainbow track layer is notably thicker, as opposed to the thin layer from the original. Coincidentally, and feature Rainbow Roads with this trait (its own , as well as the Rainbow Roads from Mario Kart 64 and Super Mario Kart)—however, its own rendition of Mario Kart 7s Rainbow Road keeps the original's thin layer of rainbow track.
*The stage's starting line is at the beginning of the stage, in spite of the fact that when the stage is stopped by the starting line. It is to make way for the touring platform.
*Rainbow Road and Melees are the only two stages not to appear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
**Additionally, this stage and Pac-Maze are the only new stages in for Nintendo 3DS (not counting and ) to not appear in Ultimate.
*This is the only Mario Kart stage to have Shy Guys with different colors. Every other stage only uses red Shy Guys.
*The "Rainbow Road Medley" music track that is used for this stage is a medley of the Rainbow Road themes from every handheld Mario Kart game, which is likely a reference to this stage being exclusive to the 3DS version of Smash 4.
*Curiously, a brand new iteration of Rainbow Road appears in Rosalina and Luma's reveal trailer, but does not resemble the version that appears in Smash 4.
