Also note also that the CPU racers have a tendency to speed right through those damn invincible Thwomps and never fall off the course. Rainbow Road in Super Mario Kart has no rails to block the fall, and the course becomes extremely narrow in parts, and the course has Thwomps that cause an instant spin-out when you run into them, and the other racers are as speedy as in the rest of the Special Cup.For comparison, you can speedrun three laps of F-Zero X's version of this course in less time than it takes to complete one lap in this game, even with the track adjusted to account for the much faster speed. It's main problem is that it's the longest track in the game, taking 4 and a half minutes to finish the race at LEAST - it's so long that, when it was remade for Mario Kart 8, rather than making you do three full laps, you only have to complete one lap with three checkpoints though it makes up for this by removing the vast majority of the guardrails, bringing the aforementioned punishing falls back into play.
Mario Kart 64: Its Rainbow Road is a downplayed example, since it is entirely guardrailed, and the only obstacles are occasional zigzagging Chain Chomps.Slipping just a little off on a turn means a punishing fall rather than a minor loss of speed from hitting the offroad. While other tracks feature similar areas (lava pits, water, etc.), the Rainbow Road is unique in having no solid ground anywhere except the actual road surface. In all versions, sliding off the track at any point results in a plummet into the abyss that costs several seconds to recover from. The Mario Kart series' Rainbow Road tracks are infamously difficult.
