Here is where you will discover Rainbow Boulevard
- by Liam Doolan
New key artwork for Donkey Kong Bananza isn’t the only thing that has seemingly emerged on Nintendo’s Korean website. It appears there could also have been a music reveal for Mario Kart World.
Although no footage of this music was confirmed during the Direct, or gameplay shown in Nintendo’s Treehouse event, it now seems to have been disclosed…spoiler alert…the iconic Rainbow Boulevard will (most likely unsurprisingly) be making a comeback, and it is anticipated that this will be accessible “later in the game”.
According to this now-removed image on the website, Rainbow Boulevard appears elevated and is situated on the lower portion of the map within this new open-world layout. It is unclear how exactly this will be reached for now, but it seems likely that there will be some routes connecting it in the future.
Some additional tracks you might expect to see in this new Mario Kart title include Mario Bros. Circuit, Shy Guy Bazaar, Wario Stadium, and Peach Stadium. We have also compiled some other tracks listed in our news here on Nintendo Life, which we’ll be updating as more information becomes available about World. Fans also seem to be quickly piecing together the whole map.
Nintendo will host a special Mario Kart World Direct later this month ahead of the game’s release on June 5, 2025.
