I remember playing MK DS and snaking on Rainbow Road there, boy that was a fun challenge.

Then my game got lost, or stolen or something. Which depressed me because I went to the effort of getting & beating all the staff ghosts and 3 stars on every engine class and every race.

BAH.

Yeah, I have three stars on DS, and I'm like, ten cups away from getting it on Wii as well. Never liked snaking on the DS game, though, and I'm glad it's not possible on the Wii.

That was my favorite track when I had a DS.

MK64 rainbow road had the best music.

It was also really fun to hop off the big drop in that track and fall off the road. B)

Out of all of them, I'd actually say the N64 one is my least favorite, because it was too long. Doesn't mean it's not awesome, though. The one in Double Dash is by far my favorite, if only for the music.

Yeah, I didn't like the actual course much either, especially since there was no risk at all thanks to all those boundaries. =/

there's seven or something

All of them are cool. It's hard for me to pick favorites, but the Double Dash, Wii, and DS ones really stand out just overall in my opinion.

Man I wish I had a Gamecube so I could play Double Dash. =(

Also, I wanted to hate Rainbow Road but man it was fun

You could still play it on the Wii as long as you had a Gamecube controller--you don't need a Gamecube. I'm sure you could find Double Dash online for cheap somewhere as well. I've heard talk of it being the worst Mario Kart, but I think it has the best split-screen multiplayer.

Personally I think MKW and DS outdo all previous versions, if only with thanks to Wifi.

Speaking of that I have my FCs on my profile if anyone wants them.

I like how clean Wii version feels to play, but the track design/retro cup choices were rather lousy in my opinion. The DS had the best tracks, both new and retro, and they missed a lot of opportunities when selecting retro DS tracks for the Wii (Airship Fortress, Waluigi Pinball, Tick Tock Clock--instead they chose Peach Gardens and Yoshi Falls :angry:). What it comes down to is this: I think the Wii version has the best graphics and drives the best, the DS is the best one with CPU drivers in multiplayer, and Double Dash multiplayer without the CPU players is better than non-CPU multiplayer in the other games. In short, Mario Kart is one of the most awesome and reliable franchises out there.

I'll add anyone who's willing to play--PM me if you want my friend code.

The Rainbow Road on the 64 was really long. But I mean, there was that shortcut that chopped off half of the track, and then it's great.

WHY HAVE I NEVER SEEN THIS TRICK

Now my control stick is broken and I can't even play MK64. ;_;

It might be more enjoyable if I didn't fall off the track into the void so much. The empty, rainbow-less void.

Uhh... I used to do that all the time. You can also cut a turn before the launch star on the Wii version, and skip the loop on the DS if you get really lucky.

Well, it wouldn't be Rainbow Road if it wasn't so difficult. I recommend much Time Trial-ing. *lol*

I loved the newest Rainbow Road, with the beautiful scenary and the colors. I played the Double Dash one after playing the Mario Kart Wii Rainbow Road, and I disliked it a lot. The karts are impossible to handle on some areas...

The Mario Kart Wii Rainbow Road is my favorite now, and I guess the Mario Kart DS version as my second favorite.
