30. Rainbow Road (Wii)

It's another case of "Para just doesn't appreciate Mario Kart Wii." This seems like one of the tracks that's held in the highest regard by the community, and I just think it's really good. I actually had it lower at one point but I kind of came to appreciate it a bit more over time - I like that it's the most 'pure' Rainbow Road in this game, no gimmicks or anything, just a rainbow road that weirdly looks like a 90's game show set to me or something. The best part is the part that's kind of 8-shaped with the two holes in the center you can trick off of - there's a really good risk-reward built in of like, how much speed do you have, and how much can you get away with cutting through the middle? How much of it can you cut? This decision is always really interesting to make. I guess I'm just more nostalgic for the GBA/GCN/DS versions of this track, and they're all missing so I'm kinda sad about that. Bring back every Rainbow Road, you cowards!
