Unlocking Rainbow Road in Mario Kart World
In Mario Kart World, there are seven main Grand Prix tracks, but players can discover an eighth track known as Rainbow Road through gameplay. While this beloved course is currently hidden, your adventure will eventually lead you to uncover its location.
For long-time fans of the series, finding Rainbow Road is a must. It’s one of the most exciting tracks, so you won’t want to miss it. Fortunately, unlocking it is much simpler than in previous games. Below, we’ll guide you through the steps to reach this vibrant track.
How to Unlock Rainbow Road
To officially unlock the iconic Rainbow Road, you need to complete all Grand Prix series. The specific CC you race at doesn’t matter, but you must finish each Grand Prix cup:
- Mushroom Cup
- Flower Cup
- Star Cup

Winning isn’t necessary; finishing each race, even in the last position, will still count towards unlocking Rainbow Road.
