Memories of my first nintendo game ever. I remember playing shine runners for 100 rounds before I forgot to charge my DS, and then I would play on many tracks of my choosing, including rainbow road. I feel really old right now.
It was fun when i was 4 i deleted my brothers save file twice in 2010. I was 5 and stupid. Anyways after the second time he didnot try to beat so years later in 2017 i beat it again i think either 3 stars on every cup or A i dont remember
Was I the only one who made lyrics to this song as a kid? Something about making up little lyrics to all the ds mario kart songs helped me focus in racing
Rares M I always thought of rainbow road as a symbolic journey to heaven or the after life. Think about it, its usually the last track in the game and it's almost like the different cups are you aging and accomplishing different things and then in the end you drive up the rainbow road to heaven
@@NightMourningDove **the nostalgia trancends human disconnection and we all become 1 when we listen to it**. maybe not that. but still an awesome tune.
@AJ Genovese ROB was my favorite character for a LONG time, then i noticed he wasn't that good and i started using dry bones. even though i was never that good at the game i always had fun with it. i could beat most of my friends and my sister. good times
I still have Mario Kart DS to this day And Rainbow Road is one of my favorite tracks. And yet to this day, people who remember how to snake-drive still play this game
When I listen to this I get flashbacks to sitting alone at lunch in 3rd grade and humming this to myself since I had nobody to talk to. I am 17 now and still feel sad and lonely, but at least I have this song to make me feel better.
@@game_burger I’ve had a lot of very high highs and very low lows in these last 4 years. One thing that’s for sure is I do not feel lonely anymore. I really appreciate you checking in.
I was 7 when it came out and got it, I pretty much always picked this track on WiFi races because I loved the music and aesthetic so damn much. Maybe that's why I tend to like synth/vaporwave stuff too...
this is one of the few songs that genuinely makes me tear up and i don't even know why man. something about the climax just fucken stirs something up inside me.
This to me was the easiest Rainbow Road in my opinion. I remember when my DS broke and could only display the bottom screen, and I learned how to play while only using my map. I somehow was better at playing that way than I was from using the top screen. I was weird as an 11 year old.
The only thing that makes this Rainbow Road hard is when someone places a banana peel on the loop. Probably the most evil tactic in MKDS that I know of.
Omg the nostalgia is hitting me so hard right now because this was the first Mario kart game I ever played and one of the first DS games I ever played.
I recently remembered the sound of my childhood and came running... I remember racing on this with 7 different classmates over 6 different wireless lobbies on a bus
I really loved this song on my Nintendo dsi back then when I didn't have Internet, I would play rainbow road course just to listen to the music offline ❤
Man!!! This is such a good composition. It’s also a ridiculously fun track with the loopdeloops. It will be a sin not to see this make a comeback in wave 5 or 6 of Booster pass given that MK8 has potential to elevate the track further with antigrav (and also give us another BANGER remix). Also praying for R.O.B. as a DLC character 😭
i love the game mario kart ds and when i play it there is only one track i play and i like this rainbow boulevard i just love it because i can shudder down the cpu and at ballonballegrei it is only one and that sinister
It's been a while but i can now give this song a rest and my DS a rest as well. 4 years ago, i would put a ghost on this track, that, even with all that time i spent grinding it, i won't beat up until yesterday as of writing this comment, dropping the time by .002 miliseconds. Now this time i consider personally maxed out, as i know i won't be able to ever beat it. Time: 1:41:352 Character: Dry Bones Kart: ROB-BLS
As a kid, I would always wait until the part at 0:38 of the song came on before going on the big loop, because the sound of the speed loop with the music sounded 10x more satisfying to me.
100 percent agree! If they remaster this track for the dlc I hope they add more obstacles and tweak the track design a little bit. I also hope they remaster this track for the remixed music!
@@david_8916 Woahhh Are you talking base game or remakes? Cause Rainbow Road 64 in Mario Kart 8 is the best stage in the game! Also snes rainbow road has some really great track design
@@alexanderadams9058 I'm obiously talking about the original rainbow roads. N64 RR sucks ass, so does the SNES one, that hasn't even changed in its remakes
@@david_8916 Pretty bold take there. I think both tracks are awesome but that's just my opinion. Though I do agree N64 Rainbow Road *on* the N64 is a bit lacking. So glad they improved it in 8
I remember playing this under the covers when I was supposed to be asleep oh my gosh great memeories
ameliaiscri yup
ameliaiscri SAME
Same!!!!!!!!! I would play all night
SAME 😭
We all did this. X)
A moment of silence to the DS and Double Dash fans who didn't see their rainbow road in the booster course pass
A moment of loud for super circuit fans who didn't see their rainbow road in the boster course pass
Moment of silence for the mariokart arcade fans who didn’t see any of their tracks in the BCP
@@BritanniaMaps2048 all 5 of them are crying rn
0:37 this part gives me chills
ikr its the best
True that nostalgic sure is something
Tbh I think this is the best rainbow road music in mario kart
Caleb Baek same
No MK7, Double Dash and 64 are better
No mkwii
64 and 7 also exist
Wii is a good contender
I can't be the only one who leaves bananas on the loop.
you aren't lmaoo I do it too
You're not alone, fellow evil racer
I used to that a lot lol
That was my favorite evil tactic in MKDS.
War crimes

dude same!!!
this was one of the games I had when I played my first 3ds games but I had ds games too it was hells fun mastering rainbow road
It was fun when i was 4 i deleted my brothers save file twice in 2010. I was 5 and stupid. Anyways after the second time he didnot try to beat so years later in 2017 i beat it again i think either 3 stars on every cup or A i dont remember
Samee
The memories...
Was I the only one who made lyrics to this song as a kid?
Something about making up little lyrics to all the ds mario kart songs helped me focus in racing
What were they? I'd love to hear them! 😊
So I wasn't the only one. I did lyrics for the GameCube and Wii ones though. I don't remember them off the top of my head but they were pretty cringy.
GameCube rainbow road= it’s a road it’s called a rainbow road
It is a road that you go
Brings a tear to my eye remembering myself play this track 9-10 years ago
The fact that the song's pitch goes a bit higher at the second time it plays again is just perfect !
Makes you feel like you are in heaven!
Rares M I always thought of rainbow road as a symbolic journey to heaven or the after life. Think about it, its usually the last track in the game and it's almost like the different cups are you aging and accomplishing different things and then in the end you drive up the rainbow road to heaven
@@ireallycantwait7172 Damn that's a really good analogy
Jesus I gotta find my old DS and play this again. Just one, more, time.
@@Spyglass_07 Had to open up the DS as well and revisit it
NOSTALGIAAA
I haven't even played this game, and i still get nostalgia from it, that's weird.
@@heterodoxagnostic8070 The nostalgia is that powerful
@@NightMourningDove **the nostalgia trancends human disconnection and we all become 1 when we listen to it**. maybe not that. but still an awesome tune.
Best Mario kart of all time but sadly I lost it 😭😭😭😭
I hope you find it.
This is why you should never put a DS cartridge in a bowl of cheez-its.
@@stellaviewer9849 Not funny, stellaviewer9849! >:c
@@phumrapeeduangphrom6441 its pretty funny
@@phumrapeeduangphrom6441 yeah it is you uncultured swine
Our favorite track for multiplayer mode is this. Why? 'Cause knocking people off the road is easy here if you use donkey kong, wario or bowser.
+Aj Genovese ohhhh. I forgot about him.
+Aj Genovese truth is I always thought he was a medium character
@AJ Genovese ROB was my favorite character for a LONG time, then i noticed he wasn't that good and i started using dry bones. even though i was never that good at the game i always had fun with it. i could beat most of my friends and my sister. good times
yeh but you'll also fall yourself since they cant steer lol

I was the same too, it can get better. Thankfully a lot of people like Mario Kart.
How’s your life now? I hope it’s gotten better

@@game_burger that means a lot, thank you :)
Where my Nintendo love started
I love this rendition of Rainbow Road the most. I remember making up lyrics for this song when I was 7.
I only remember two lines.
This theme is the biggest Nostalgia
(Especially 0:33 - 1:00)
The music is so well composed. It's so full of hope and joy. But my driving on Rainbow Road was always atrocious.
this why mario kart ds is my favriote mario kart game
I was 7 when it came out and got it, I pretty much always picked this track on WiFi races because I loved the music and aesthetic so damn much.
Maybe that's why I tend to like synth/vaporwave stuff too...
Be glad that you got enjoy this game's WiFi races
I was 5 when I played this game the first time... and I play now again sometime! Thank you, Nintendo!
Same but 7 when I got it!
I remember when this game first came out ON DS I fangirled so loudly lol the commercial was lit tho
my childhood
this is one of the few songs that genuinely makes me tear up and i don't even know why man. something about the climax just fucken stirs something up inside me.
Rainbow Road was my favourite track in Mario Kart DS, also because of the music! Also because it's a rainbow in space and I love both things XD
This to me was the easiest Rainbow Road in my opinion. I remember when my DS broke and could only display the bottom screen, and I learned how to play while only using my map. I somehow was better at playing that way than I was from using the top screen. I was weird as an 11 year old.

Omg the nostalgia is hitting me so hard right now because this was the first Mario kart game I ever played and one of the first DS games I ever played.
MEMORIES
sounds a lot like the n64 and the snes rainbow roads. love it!
It's so weird to think that this game is almost 15 years old now 😳
Almost 20 now
This is my whole childhood right here
I hope this makes it into the booster course pass. Because this is my favourite rainbow road.
I recently remembered the sound of my childhood and came running... I remember racing on this with 7 different classmates over 6 different wireless lobbies on a bus
ahhh... to be 8 years old again... playing mario kart ds with my friends...
now they play fortnite
which I'm not capable of
I just can't play fortnite because the game is so goddamn cringeworthy.
TF2 all the way!
I can’t play fortnite because it runs like shit on my computer, which doesn’t struggle with anything else.
Fortnite is one of the worst things invented by man, alongside tiktok. I'm very happy for you that you don't play fortnite. you are a good person.
@@henryfrohna6892 uh oh redditor in coming
Nah Jk you can have any opinion on them
this was my favorite theme back when I had this game
Be honest we all heard this theme in playing in our head at random and searched for it
Ahhh Childhood Memories
My childhood :)
I really loved this song on my Nintendo dsi back then when I didn't have Internet, I would play rainbow road course just to listen to the music offline ❤
The most relieving song of all the super mario kart games! 🌟
Man!!! This is such a good composition. It’s also a ridiculously fun track with the loopdeloops. It will be a sin not to see this make a comeback in wave 5 or 6 of Booster pass given that MK8 has potential to elevate the track further with antigrav (and also give us another BANGER remix).
Also praying for R.O.B. as a DLC character 😭
Best Rainbow Road theme
Childhood memories😌😌😌
Nostalgia
my favorite :)
Awesome music and track!
very good music!
I love this song
THAT BASS REMINDS ME OF "Dragon Ball Z Super Butouden Ost - Gohan & Trunks" :)
This was my favorite Mario kart game as a kid
i still remember playing this on my red and black nintendo ds lite 😢
Liek if u cri evrytim
The first seconds references the Staff Roll theme of Super Mario Land
Anyone remember hiding their DS under the pillow?
I don't even like this game's music, but this is DIABOLICALLY GOOD!
Awesome ;)
1:09 that pause goes so hard
Rainbow Roads: Love or hate them, but every Road has a musical banger.
i love the game mario kart ds and when i play it there is only one track i play and i like this rainbow boulevard i just love it because i can shudder down the cpu and at ballonballegrei it is only one and that sinister
This sounds like rainbow road wii but off.
Off? You fell on your head?
Plus the Wii is inferior, it's not that emotive!
You do realize DS came before Wii?
First game I ever played..
It's been a while but i can now give this song a rest and my DS a rest as well. 4 years ago, i would put a ghost on this track, that, even with all that time i spent grinding it, i won't beat up until yesterday as of writing this comment, dropping the time by .002 miliseconds. Now this time i consider personally maxed out, as i know i won't be able to ever beat it.
Time: 1:41:352
Character: Dry Bones
Kart: ROB-BLS
i want to cry....
If you’re really want to end a friendship, place a banana peel on the upside down part of loop in multiplayer.
second best rainbow road ost right behind wii rainbow road
0:32-0:37 makes my heart skip a beat
As a kid, I would always wait until the part at 0:38 of the song came on before going on the big loop, because the sound of the speed loop with the music sounded 10x more satisfying to me.
Ikr
Remembering when i hoped that my brother would play on this track because it was and still is my favourite also because of the music🌈
Man the music is great
I hope the track itself lives up to the amazing song
Seriously, though, that B section is top-notch…
This track was made for anti-gravity yet didnt make it in the BCP
Peak Rainbow Road
My favorite racing course is GBA sky garden
PEAK
This reminds me of amusement parks.
🥺❤
I played this in 2023
season 13 2010
The yeat hihats at 0:00
I love this theme but 3ds and wii are better imo
this level broke a ds. At least the speaker still worked
懐かしい
2:46
Best part
Lamest RR Stage, Best RR Soundtrack
100 percent agree! If they remaster this track for the dlc I hope they add more obstacles and tweak the track design a little bit. I also hope they remaster this track for the remixed music!
How is this the lamest when N64 and SNES exist?
@@david_8916 Woahhh
Are you talking base game or remakes? Cause Rainbow Road 64 in Mario Kart 8 is the best stage in the game! Also snes rainbow road has some really great track design
