This version of Rainbow Road makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', where it is the fourth and last course of the [[Lightning Cup]]. The course is now section-based, due to its long length, and takes place above a brightly-lit city near a coast at night instead of the deep space from the original. The Princess Peach Statue of Liberty from [[Toad Harbor]] and the course itself can be seen in the city setting, and in the center of the city below, there is a tower that faintly resembles the [[Eiffel Tower]], with four [[? Block]]s, a Mushroom, and a spinning [[Star]] visible on top of it. Christmas trees can also be seen scattered throughout the city. Also, there is a moon in the sky that can be seen right after the starting line. The road is now formed by multicolored tiles made of glowing [[wikipedia:LED lamp|LED lights]] (similar to {{classic-link|SNES|Rainbow Road}}) laid out in a diagonal color pattern within a golden frame, as opposed to the slightly transparent glass stripes from the original version. A flying train travelling around the course was also added, ridden by [[Toad (species)|Toad]]s who throw coins onto the track.

The starting banner is now a rotating, star-shaped [[wikipedia:Planetary gear|planetary gear]]. When players nearly reach the finish line, the outer gears will change shape by expanding their star-shaped appendages wide and closing in upon themselves. A scrolling LED sign reading "RAINBOW ROAD" in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] font can be seen in the inner part of the gears.
