Shortcuts
- After Turn 4, you can position yourself while drifting to jump off the ramp and land on the track with a boost.
- At the final Thwomps, you can use a mushroom to take the middle ramp.
Strategies
- Due to its simplicity, SNES Rainbow Road is a frontrunning track.
- Power items(other than Lightning) aren't that useful, but they can make a difference after the third set.
- Bob-ombs are very useful when placed by Turns 3, 5, and 7.
