Dropping a Banana right in between Super Thwomps on this straightaway is a great strategy for throwing your opponents off, especially if it’s the first lap!
Be very careful when driving close to the track’s edge! There are no guardrails on SNES Rainbow Road; all it takes is one mistake to fall off.
If you are passing an opponent who is near the track’s edge, go ahead and bump them off!
Take extra caution if you have a Blooper used on you. On this track, it can be devastating to not be able to see your surroundings! Take your time and slow down just a bit; it’s certainly better than falling off the track!
