Rainbow Road Through the Years (Mario Kart & F-Zero)

A look at Rainbow Road through the years. Rainbow Road first appeared in Super Mario Kart for Super Nintendo (SNES) in 1992. Since then, it has appeared in every Mario Kart game. It also made an appearance in an F-Zero game. One lap of each course is shown in this video, for all of the console versions plus the GBA game. (Sorry, I was not able to include the DS version). The games shown are:

1992 - Super Mario Kart (SNES)
1997 - Mario Kart 64 (Nintendo 64)
1998 - F-Zero X (Nintendo 64)
2001 - Mario Kart: Super Circuit (Game Boy Advance)
2003 - Mario Kart: Double Dash (GameCube)
2008 - Mario Kart Wii

Please note that the years listed are based on the North American release.

Again, I was unable to include the DS game (I did not forget about it). I do not own a DS system and I do not have the ability to directly capture video from a DS anyway. This video is about the CONSOLE versions of Mario Kart. The GBA game is included as a bonus since it can be played on the GameCube console with the Game Boy Player adapter.

You left out DS, but put in F-Zero? Are you serious bro?

[jvgsjeff]

@JoshCarl9: I really don't care much about portables and I don't have a DS anyway. And even if I did, there isn't a way to directly capture video. I never said this was ALL the Rainbow Road courses anyway, it's just a look at how the course has changed over the years. The F-Zero one was a bonus, since a lot of people didn't realize an F-Zero game had a Rainbow Road as well. But you would know all this if you bothered to read the description, "bro."

[J Carlito]

My bad; I usually read the description in people's videos before viewing, but I forgot with this one (ironic how yours was actually important). Also, I apologize if I came off as rude in my previous comment, I was simply making a reference to my bro Zack Ryder. No offense was intended.

[jvgsjeff]

@JoshCarl9: No problem. Sorry if my response was a bit rude as well; I just get tired of the same question all the time so it kinda agitates me every once in a while. I think I'm just going to disable comments for this video.

[dudujencarelli]

Just a correction. Mario Kart 64 is actually from 1996.

[jvgsjeff]

@dudujencarelli: In Japan, but I listed these by their North American releases.

Why you forget DS?

[shitttty]

Stupid that they put borders in on the later ones......Rainbow Road is supposed to have none, everybody knows that.
