Not to be that guy, but like... get good? This isn't even a particularly difficult star. Just jump from where you start to the (very forgiving, not a bottomless pit) obstacle course, get the blue coins after practicing the timing for the wall jumps, and ride the carpet up to the castle. You don't need to get on the carpet again and never had to before, and the ride up to the castle is very simple. Rainbow Ride is one of the few courses in which you can actually freely move the camera since there's no walls, and it gives you a better view of the platforming than any other stage. The stage has a lot of coins; you can get a fourth of them on the spinning platforms with the Lakitus on them.

Respectfully disagree. If I'm not good enough to beat it by now, I'm never going to be. Platformers with pits and questionable cameras are always going to kill me. The controls in 64 are simply such that a level as open as Rainbow Ride is literally the worst thing ever. And I don't know why, but the perspective in that level always messes me up. Like, it takes me ages just to work my way through the red coin maze for some reason. I admit it's not that technically challenging to do, but I can never do it. The only reason I don't die there is because it's almost impossible. (And yet, I have died there from falling too much.)
