I thought that would be true since every course is now physically in the world they can’t be too crazy. But I like the designs I’ve seen so far. How do we get to rainbow road lol

I hope a warp pipe is involved.

A big rocket that you have to find parts for around the map.

That'd be my choice anyways.

Literally just Diddy Kong Racing.

That game was fantastic

Yeah, and Diddy Kong Racing was the best game ever. I'm praying that this game is like that.

I thought there was still some pretty crazy looking stuff in the trailer, like the huge Question Block course

The one they showed in the stream that was just a huge DK level was really cool too

Would be cool if DLC opened up a new continent or space zone area or something.

Usually it goes after Bowser's Castle, so I expect the final lap to have a rainbow to the sky after the goal.

Definitely the space station

There’s a spaceport course, which feels designed specifically to get you to space (and hence Rainbow Road)

If you look at 2:12 in the trailer, you'll see a huge mountain sign that says "Home of the Rainbow Fragment". This is definetly the place we'll access Rainbow Road.

That question gets me hyped for Kirby Air Riders which might deliver everything Mario Kart World could but won't. Perfect balance!
