Rainbow Road
Rainbow Road is the fourth and final course of the Special Cup, as well as the final new course in Mario Kart Wii.
Overview
* Flap is from a lap of a 3lap
| Type | Unrestricted | No Ultra | No Glitch |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3lap | 38.695 | 2:14.984 | |
| Flap | 8.578 | 42.167 | 44.886* |
Rainbow Road has a 3lap viable ultra shortcut, which uses wallclips, with the flap variant also using a delayed lap count, barrel rolls, and an OOB bypass. Outside the ultra shortcut, it also currently benefits from the use of superhopping and supersliding in both 3lap and flap categories. Hence, it has three 3lap and three flap categories. However, no TAS exists for a No Ultra 3lap which implements glitches, so the No Glitch 3lap is the No Ultra 3lap record for the time being.
Unrestricted 3lap
The current strategy for the UR 3lap is to perform the ultra shortcut on all 3 laps.
