From blue-shells to Bullet Bills, Mario Kart has ruined its fair share of friendships. But its most notorious friend-ending aspect is in the form of everyone's favourite multi-coloured pathway in the sky, Rainbow Road.

It's clear to see why it's so difficult. The majority of the level has not got safeguarding barriers meaning that one untimed turn and you're crashing back down to Earth. Combined with the already competitive nature of Mario Kart, this can result in a number of untimely restarts due to especially traitorous friends.

Nearly everyone knows Rainbow Road due it's recognisable design, but ask someone why it's stuck in their memory and the difficulty will the first thing they come out with.

I like video games, writing and writing about video games. Expect sarcasm and the dry wit of a Brit. And the occasional rant of a unhappy Scot. You know... the usual.
