15 Best Multiplayer Maps In Gaming History Ranked

This map has seen itself evolve as technology got better and better. When every course is cleared and the drivers have proven their skills, there's no course more climactic to be the final challenge, separating the kids from the grown-ups, than this one, a colorful romp through the heavens will be the race to decide which drivers are truly ascended.

While the track has undergone many revisions, it has always been the best and most demanding of every edition of Mario Kart. Whether it's Super Mario Kart's disco-tiles, 64's legendary shortcut, the space-station in Mario Kart 8, or any other legendary set-piece, Rainbow Road always delivers. The abundant boost pads coupled with the lack of barriers challenge racers to be able to drive at high speeds while also controlling their vehicle. The tight turns force placers to master the drift, and still, items lie scattered about the stage, presenting each player with another hazard sitting right next to them.

A lot can be said for Rainbow Road's masterful design, but its immaculate visuals and euphonic background music help this track carve a special place into the soul of not just every die-hard Nintendo fan, but every gamer. A track with both heart warming nostalgia and heart pounding intensity, Rainbow Road will never cease to amaze.
