  • Super Mario 64 is one of my favorite games of all time, but that doesn’t mean it’s perfect. In fact, I think Mario 64 might just contain the absolute worst 3D Mario stage, Rainbow Ride. In today’s episode of Level by Level I’m going to review rainbow ride and see what makes it so bad? Additionally I’ll be ranking all 7 of its stars into a tier list! So join me as I discuss why Rainbow Ride is the Worst 3D Mario Level!

    Rainbow Ride was originally going to be a fire themed stage, since in the code contained within the 2020 gigaleak internally refers to it as "fire bubble 2," which implies it's related to Lethal Lava land as In the Japanese version LLL is referred to as "Fire Bubble Land." the "star" file (which contains the data for Star placements in each course) refers to the course as "Fire Building," to me this explains alot about the level design and the amount of fire in it, and there likely would've been a pool of lava underneath the level instead of a bottomless pit which would've made the course much less punishing and frustrating to play.

      So likely a normal ship that would have been atop the sea of lava was changed into the flying one, and then everything was moved around to be in different spots in the sky. Then I’ll bet the rainbow carpets were the moving platforms found inside lethal lava lands volcano at one point before also being changed.
      It’s clearly a change but not a sudden one. I can tell they still put time into trying to polish it.

    If you're playing the DS version of Super Mario 64. There is an additional main star. Making it 8 stars per level. 7 main stars and the 100 coin star. The additional star added to Rainbow ride is called "Switch star of the manor"
    this adds another trip to the manor having to press a star switch and making your way to the roof again to grab its star. Normally you wouldn't be able to get the roof since stepping off the carpet makes it disappear after a few seconds which would have been an issue since you have to do this to press the star switch and even if your able to get back on the carpet is too slow to make it up there in time since the switch star is on a timer when you press the switch.
    However the DS version adds a block inside the manor and if your playing as Mario it gives you a power flower that turns Mario into balloon mario allowing him to float up to the roof to grab the star in time. You can also use the power up to grab the big house in the sky star as well. So that basically cuts the trip to the roof a bit shorter than the original route up there.

    • @Robbie_Haruna
      @Robbie_Haruna 4 місяці тому +3

      It is also worth noting that Rainbow Ride in DS does allow you to get away with more shortcuts. The Power Flower inside the house helps for the two stars you mentioned, but you can also take a number of other shortcuts with Luigi's floaty backflip.
      Still the worst level in the game by far, but hey it's a bit better at least?

    The house added a power up block, and a 1-up in the flames for Luigi to use the Invisibilty cap. (This also means if you play as Mario, you can get to star 2 without having to use the carpet to go back outside)
    The number of blocks on the way to the airship are reduced
    There is a power up added to the airship. (Mario can fly to the ship up to the Chuckya platform).
    DS Bonus Star: Switch Star of the Manor. There is a switch outside the house that you need to activate. Either hit the switch on the way out of the house or hit the switch as Mario, then get the power up to go to the top and claim your prize if made fast enough.

    Rainbow Ride is by far the most illogical stage in Mario 64. It’s just a mesh of random and somewhat surreal content, such as a massive empty house and a load of irrelevant platforms. Every other stage in the game has a distinct theme, with the missions and obstacles being based around the level’s theme. Rainbow Ride just threw a bunch of random stuff together and called it a day.

    • @ayayayastar
      @ayayayastar 6 місяців тому +4

      I never really understood the "it's just random stuff" argument, I think there's at least some elements that make sense for a whimsical fantasy inspired sky stage (the floating airship with wings, Lakitu, the floating carpets, and the giant Jack and the Beanstalk inspired house
      Mario 64 stages don't really have to make cohesive realistic sense in order to make for a good level, Lethal Lava Land, Wet-Dry World and especially the Bowser levels can be considered "random stuff together" but just like Rainbow Ride they all have a design and paths to take
      I think a real uninspired Super Mario 64 level is Dire Dire Docks. It has very little level design to offer, it doesn't shake up what was introduced in Jolly Roger Bay by much (it's the only level in the whole game that reuses a star title, Through The Jet Stream, and the method of getting that star is the same across both levels), and the only interesting landmark in the whole level (Bowser's sub) gets wiped away the moment you collect the first star

    I like this level's aesthetics a lot. The wide open sky is beautiful, rainbows and bright colors are all over place, and the design of many elements like the carpets, ship, and house are appealing. There is sort of a lack of aesthetic/thematic cohesion, but that's part of what I love about it, since I find that levels which stick too closely to a single clear concept can get a little bland and predictable. If you look at a classic level like Whomp's Fortress, it also has some elements that look randomly cobbled together, and I think that actually makes it better. Why are there long boards of wood everywhere you have to use as bridges? Why is there a random section of inch-deep water? What is that area with the blue coins and pole supposed to be? Why are there floating islands and a cage way up in the sky? Why does a tower appear after you beat the boss? None of these questions have entirely logical answers. The developers just added stuff they thought might be fun, and in many cases, they were right. Mario games have always been like that. Why is a plumber fighting evil turtles and mushrooms, breaking blocks, teleporting with pipes, jumping on floating platforms, and sometimes riding a dinosaur? No reason, except that it's just wacky fun stuff that happened to be possible with the technology at that time. Now, I need to be absolutely clear about one thing, which is that I'm NOT saying aesthetics or logic are irrelevant to Mario games, I'm just saying that a bit of wacky random stuff has always been a core part of Mario game design, and I don't think it looks, plays, or feels quite like Mario if you take too much of the weirdness away. Mario levels are always best when there's at least one ingredient that doesn't seem to belong in the recipe, like those weird flower enemies in the snow levels, the chuck-yas and heave-hoes in Wet Dry World, the secret white slide in Tall Tall Mountain, and so on. There are a few legitimate issues with Rainbow Ride, especially the carpets, but I don't think it's fair to drag the overall aesthetics and design so much.

    What annoys me the most about Rainbow Road is that it's not even really hard like you would expect a final main stage to be. Instead it's overly tedious to the point of sleep inducing. Plus, I think this stage could have been decent enough if you had to platform on the rainbows instead of riding a carpet on them.

    I don't mind the platforming that much, but unless you're a godlike speedrunner, which 99.99% of us aren't, you have to take the same slow, tedious carpet ride 3 times to a branching path you can't return to that you have to redo if you fall. The progress lost feels terrible because there's no way to speed it up and most of the time you have to restart since Rainbow Ride has no solid ground to begin with, only platforms. The slide theme isn't bad, but it works for the slides, because it's high energy, Mario is going fast all the time and it's short. After the 5th loop, it become genuinely grating to hear. I'm sure I could find more wrong with it, but the major issues wrong with it, are really major.

      A good auto scroller limits the player's play space while still being engaging. That's the thought process, you are testing the player's ability to survive in a more claustrophobic and linear environment. This level does not do that. It limits your place space and then throws nothing at you.

    Here's how I would have made this one a lot more interesting: make the flying ship the centerpiece of the level. Give it two levels, with a below deck area split into four chambers. Start Mario off on the ship, and have a carpet you can jump on any time at one end. When you do, it starts off on a path that weaves through each of the four chambers below deck, letting you get off and do all sorts of things while it's passing through to the other side. Lots of blocks and crates and bombs and stuff.
    Every time the carpet exits one side of the ship, it goes out just far enough to a coin or something that's barely too far to jump on your own, then turns back to pass through another chamber. This way, you always have stuff to do while you wait for the carpet inside the ship, there's very little waiting outside the ship, and at the end of the four chambers, it's brings you back up to the deck and drops you off.
    And there should be four cannons to launch you to islands that are really far away. No long, boring carpet rides.

    I love this level and am here to offer some rebuttals.
    1. I dont see the problem with the "lack of cohesion". Its a magic carpet ride in the sky. Its abstract. Its trippy. The obstacles are just varied enough to keep things aesthetically interesting and the ship and castle put it over the top. Both extremely memorable and satisfying as hell when you finally reach them. The mysterious nature of the level is accentuated by these two structures being in the distance.
    2. You're straight exaggerating the carpet rides. I guarantee at least 90% of people watching routinely skip the first ride and if you made it this far in the game you should be able to long jump to the pole its just not very difficult and it's very satisfying. As for the rides to the ship and castle yeah they're kind of long but I enjoy the obstacles and the time spent chilling gives me time to appreciate the level (though if you dont enjoy the aestethics, that's a matter of taste and I cant argue that but I still think the amount of time spent just standing on the carpets is being way overblown for the sake of belaboring the point.
    3. If you are paying attention you'll notice the bomb-OMB when doing the red coins. The stars not required but if you're a cimpletionist I'd think you'd enjoy putting those pieces together. Aside from the ship and castle the rest of the level doesnt take long to traverse so if you take the carpet before exploring those areas that's kinda on you. But again were talking what, a minute long carpet ride for each?
    4. The music... I cant really defend but I think it does somewhat fit the aesthetic at least. Bright and colorful.
    I love jumping from section to section on this level. Theres a lot of cool jumps you can make and some of the best platforming in the game. The carpet rides and the music are legitimate gripes and I can understand not loving the theming of the level but I wont stand idly by and listen to one of my favorite levels be slandered like this. Good day to you sir

  • @concordjuniper33

    The devs spent a lot of time making Mario's moveset work perfectly and in the end had to slap a bunch of levels together, rendering Shigeru Miyamoto's planned 32 courses down to just 15. Therefore, it makes sense that this one is a bunch of random junk thrown together, because obviously, as the last level, they quickly threw together a bunch of final ideas that they wanted to use in the end but didn't have time to implement into their own stages. So, in that context, this level is forgivable, especially since it's the last one you visit anyway, making for a test of endurance and, especially, patience. Definitely needed some work, though, and is definitely not a well liked level overall.
    I will say, though, that the pink bob-omb is actually not all that bad, because some players, like myself, are likely to find him while looking for the red coins in the maze, which does help a huge deal. But, yeah, after seeing this new perspective on that star, that star definitely is poorly designed. A cool concept on paper with a nice homage, but really could've been implemented better.

    Rainbow Ride feels like a remnant from the phase in development where Super Mario 64 was structured more like the 2D games with more linear stages. It clashes so strongly with the design philosophy of Super Mario 64 that I can’t think of another reason for it to be designed the way it is

      The earliest stages being worked on were Whomp's Fortress, Cool Cool Mountain, Dire Dire Docks, and Lethal Lava Land. There's also a scrapped castle area that seems to have been made with a flag pole at the end in mind.
      Rainbow Ride may have been possibly one of the last stages they worked on. Also; unlike the other main stages, they may have wanted this to be not a floating landmass, an area full of water, or an underground maze, but to be an open air location more reminiscent of 2D Mario. Swingin' in the Breeze and Tricky Triangles feel like pure platforming challenges and are among the best stars in the game.
      Personally I find Rainbow Ride alright. If we can include the smaller secret stages, I find Wing Mario Over the Rainbow to be much worse. Either way, Rainbow Ride is not the worst main 3D Mario stage in existence. Especially not when we have Sunshine's Corona Mountain, Galaxy's Bubble Blast Galaxy, and Galaxy 2's Stone Cyclone Galaxy (a less forgiving version of a Galaxy 1 location) and Rolling Coaster Galaxy. Not to mention I prefer Rainbow Ride's stars over the Battlestation purple coins (a shame that secret mission takes place in a stage I otherwise like).

    Rainbow Ride is my least favorite Super Mario 64 level but calling it the worst 3D Mario stage is a bit harsh IMO. It's a mediocre level, not a bad level. The castle looks like it was meant to be the giant's castle from Jack And The Beanstalk, but I could be wrong. Maybe I'm a bit more forgiving because of nostalgia. "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" was a pun on The Wizard Of Oz. I'd rank the level low C-tier or high D-tier, F-tier is kinda harsh. I think that part of the issues with some stages is that it was the first 3D Mario game and they were trying to figure things out, and what they knew were 2D Mario concepts, and some didn't translate as well to 3D.

    Snowman's Land - _specifically the DS version_ - is a close second for me. IMO it has two good stars, the first star and Whirl From the Freezing Pond. The others are either repeats (Boil the Big Bully but it's cold this time, two stars back to back where you just enter the igloo) or deliberately trying to waste as much of the player's time as possible. Silver stars I can deal with, but putting one under the bully platform and forcing the player to go all the way across the map for the koopa shell is just tedious (especially because grabbing that silver star with the metal cap right next to the bully platform just KILLS YOU), and the replacement for the ice maze star frustrated me because of how far away the ?-box is and the time limit on Yoshi's fire breath. It's pretty much a running theme with floor-3 levels where a level gets built around one core path, and then other stars just get thrown in the blank spaces to make it a full course - Rainbow Ride (ride the magic carpet), Snowman's Land (climb the snowman), Tall Tall Mountain (climb the mountain), and Tick Tock Clock (climb the clock), but to me only the latter two of those really do that design philosophy justice.

    Rainbow ride feels like a circuit without wires. It’s like a Minecraft machine without redstone, not functional at all

    At least with this level it has some stars that actually are a decent challenge and are fun with tricky triangles, the maze, and even the 100 coin challenge. Hell I even enjoyed doing a carpetless cruiser crossing the rainbow and somewhere over the rainbow as a pretty difficult challenge, which also illustrates that you can play rainbow ride in different ways and not just the one. Still not a good level, but that's way more than what I can say about dire dire docks, which is all nothing but boring swimming and the one platforming challenge being super annoying and revolves around waiting. The only passable star is one that isn't even fun, it's just a cool idea with collect the caps.

    Yanno what would be great once you finish ranking all the 2d courses? A ranking of every single Mario kart course. I’ve only really played 8dx, so idk what i’ve been missing out on from the earlier games

    As someone who grew up with older people playing Super Mario 64 I never realized that this is the slide theme for beginners. TO me it was always the Sky theme O__O
    Oh the Course has an aesthetic btw
    It is the WET DRY WORLD aestheti!!!!
    Okay sorry I leave.

    The worst stage? Hear me out, the pachinko machine, super mario sunshine, 2002.

    The thing that makes this level even more infuriating is how unnecessary the carpets even are, they didn't even have to be there and there were so many better alternatives out there. They could've simply been replaced by some obstacle courses (like in some other parts of the level) and that could have actually been kind of fun. Or hell remove the carpets entirely and just let the player walk on the rainbow road, it's not like it would change anything aside from making it less slow and tedious. OR HELL, instead of forcing the player to slowly wait on a flying carpet just to get around, LET THEM USE THE POWERUP THAT LETS THEM FLY AROUND. This was the one stage where the winged cap made the most sense and they didn't even include it. Considering how cleverly designed this game is for the most part the fact they didn't think of this is just mind boggling. I genuinely don't know what they were thinking adding this stage the way it is. There's no way they playtested this and had fun playing it or didn't notice the glaring flaws

    Some of my least favorite 3D world levels are the ones where the camera is set to look like it’s 2d, but is still 3D, and most of them are autoscrollers which makes it worse
