New Super Mario Bros 2 Guide › Special Worlds › Rainbow Courses

Introduction

Each world contains a hidden Rainbow Course. These special areas provide opportunities to earn coin rewards and the occasional Gold Flower. Rainbow Courses only appear when you’ve met the required conditions.

Note

After you play through a Rainbow Course, it disappears. The next time you meet the required condition, the Rainbow Course will reappear.

When the required conditions are met, the Rainbow Course appears at the World’s starting location.
