This version of Rainbow Road makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting from the [[Space Tour (2023)|2023 Space Tour]]. This makes it the first ''Mario Kart Wii'' [[Special Cup]] course to reappear in a future installment of the series, the sixth Wii course in ''Mario Kart Tour'', the first Wii course since [[Wii Koopa Cape]] in the [[Peach vs. Bowser Tour (May 2022)|May 2022 Peach vs. Bowser Tour]] seventeen tours prior, and the second Wii course to make its classic course debut in ''Mario Kart Tour'', the first one being [[Wii DK Summit]] in the [[Snow Tour]] forty-nine tours prior. The most notable change is that the course has been converted into a two-section track like [[Tour Tokyo Blur|Tokyo Blur 4]], [[Tour New York Minute|New York Minute 4]], and [[N64 Kalimari Desert|N64 Kalimari Desert 2]], with the second section beginning at the Launch Star cannon. | This version of Rainbow Road makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting from the [[Space Tour (2023)|2023 Space Tour]].

The course layout itself has also received some alterations. The wavy part of the track is now consistent and doesn't change over time, the simple ramps that lined the holes at the figure-8 section are gone, the Launch Star now has a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]], and the previously unique half-pipe jump is now effectively parallel to where racers land from the jump, presumably due to the game's different half-pipe physics. Additionally, there are different Item Box placements: Most previous Item Boxes are gone, with the set just before the Launch Star and the set at the end of the split paths as the only retained ones. Instead, an item set is found just before the downhill and a set is found just before the wavy track. Lastly, many more guard rails appear along the sides of the track: The whole portion between the first dash panel ramp and the three subsequent dash panels is covered on both sides, the slight right turn after the Launch Star is mostly covered on both sides, the track just before the split path is covered on both sides, the right path is covered on the left side at its second curve, and the slight right turn at the end is covered on both sides | The course layout itself has also received some alterations.

The course has also received numerous graphical updates. The starting line and various other course elements now have technicolor ring designs. The road texture is now animated, with pinpricks of light following the path of the course. The background has received quite a few changes, such as the Earth being moved closer to the track and Saturn being moved from the last turn to being right after the cannon. Most notably, the moon is now modeled, is much closer to the track, and has a rocket ship based on the ones from [[3DS Rainbow Road]]. The floating arrows now take on their appearance from [[SNES Rainbow Road]]. The wavy road no longer has a different texture from the main road, and the road texture no longer highlights arcs for the subsequent half-pipes. The two launch stars at the rainbow tunnel are now larger and have been redesigned; they are now big stars with a ring encompassing the inner corners of them. The tunnel now cycles through colors. The launch star at the end of the rainbow tunnel now briefly spins when any racers pass through it, but does not launch them. The tunnel of light surrounding the last bend now has a pattern of rings moving forward with rotating sun-shaped entrances and exits, with the mandatory half-pipe jump also now having a version of this tunnel with simpler entrance and exit points. | The course has also received numerous graphical updates.
