A Mario Kart game wouldn’t be one if it didn’t have one of its most famous tracks: Rainbow Road. Fortunately, there is a way to get in the latest entry, but you’ll need to do a bit of racing and stay in the top spot. If you manage to do so, you’ll experience one of the best versions of this iconic course. Here, we have a quick guide on how to unlock the beloved Rainbow Road course in Mario Kart World.

Unlocking the Rainbow Road Course in Mario Kart World

To unlock the Rainbow Road track in Mario Kart World, you must complete all seven cups in the Grand Prix mode to unlock the Special Cup. Once you do that, you can play race in the Rainbow Road track. However, you must meet one specific requirement: earn gold in all cups to unlock the Special Cup. To earn gold in all Grand Prix cups, you must finish first in all the races. It might be a bit challenging, but it seems you can do this in any difficulty mode. Whether you go for 50cc or 150cc, the Special Cup will unlock if you finish first in all races.

Furthermore, if you were planning on rushing the process, it might not be possible because there are seven cups without counting the Special Cup. Each cup also has four tracks, meaning you have 28 to go through before unlocking the Rainbow Road course. Still, all of them are pretty fun and a mix of classic ones with a few new ones, so racing through them should be an enjoyable experience. It may vary depending on what CC mode you pick, but even 150cc seems easy for most players.

Once you do all of the above steps, you’ll have one of the series’ most beloved tracks ready to race at any moment you want. However, that’s not the only course that comes with the Special Cup. Beyond the Rainbow Road, you’ll also get Acorn Heights, Mario Circuit, and Peach Stadium. So, if you want to see everything Mario Kart World has, you’d better start your GP journey as soon as you fire up the game.
