According to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe producer Kosuke Yabuki, the development team's goal was to create a version of Rainbow Road with a 'near-future' aesthetic when anti-gravity controls were added. At a location, two separated parts of the track cross nearby in different angles, and distant parts of the track can be seen ahead from far away. As with other tracks from the game, the track surface is wildly twisted, and karts make use of the new anti-gravity feature. Several more space carriers with parts of the track are present, most notably the one with two conveyor belt-like rotating rings in opposing directions which can speed up or slow down the vehicle when driven upon.

At the start/finish line, the track crosses through a space craft. The ground uses quadratic tiles in resemblance to the track in Super Mario Kart. In Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U as well as its 2017 revision Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch, the track uses three laps again instead of sections, and there is again a planet in the background with a higher resolution than that from Mario Kart Wii. Rainbow Road appears as the final level of every major Mario Kart game since Super Mario Kart. The Rainbow Roads of some Mario Kart editions have been revised to be featured more than once throughout the series. It typically is among the most difficult to complete, since most of the Rainbow Road tracks have no rails to prevent the player from falling off the edges of the track during a turn, and oftentimes have tight curves, steep slopes, and wavy grounds. Rainbow Road customarily appears as the final original track of each game. Presented as a rainbow-coloured racing course suspended in space, Rainbow Road is widely recognized as one of the most iconic elements of the Mario Kart series.

Rainbow Road is a level featured in the Mario Kart kart racing game series, developed and published by Nintendo.
