Look at that Colorful Rainbow Road

Yeah, you had the one shortcut, but after you did that a couple times to say you did it, you'd never go back to play Rainbow Road because it was so damn long and boring.

Yeah but Yoshi Valley and Banshee Boardwalk more than made up for Rainbow Road's shortcomings. I can't count the number of times I got my ass kicked in those two races before I memorized the course. It takes slick driving to be able to jump and powerslide your way through Banshee Boardwalk without sinking.
