Every level in the upstairs on the n64 version is frustrating af bc of the shitty camera and it being very hard to wall jump on the n64 version it’s much easier on the ds version
This level is trash. For me the level isn't even hard. But I hate how one little mistake can make you start all the way back. Like... If I died in bob-omb battlefield, or fell off the stage on whomps fortress, I could instantly do my objective again. But on rainbow ride, one try takes so long and gets boring quick because of the carpets. I've died only twice, Mario fell off one of the platforms which caused him to have a long fall until going out of the stage. I may stop playing for now as I'm going for 100% completion on all games, I have 110 stars, 75 shine sprites in sunshine and 30 stars on Galaxy. rainbow ride is making me regret vowing to get 100% completion in 64 though. : /
@@slicklyndon1756 for me, that's the problem with the whole games design? Die or fall off the edge? Restart the whole level. Exit the level? Go back to the 1st floor of the castle. Lose all the lives? Get booted outside of the castle. This game's idea of difficulty is punishing you with tedium
I noticed that this is the only sandbox Mario game not to have Mario joined with some kind of buddy assisting him. Super Mario Sunshine has FLUDD, the Super Mario Galaxy games have Luma inside Mario’s hat, and Super Mario Odyssey has Cappy.
This level was both frustrating and yet amazing. I just remember there being so many new parts of this level by taking different carpet routes. The fact you landed outside the castle too was super annoying but made completing it even better
Op het tapijt naar de balken. En er maar niet overheen kunnen springen en honderden keren stranden voor het schip bereikt te hebben. Ik geloof dat ik er een middag in een avond aan besteed heb
I HATED this level growing up in the 90s. But man, this was so nostalgic. This actually helped my depression going back in time essentially. Just don't get off the magic carpet for more than a few seconds lol or you'll be stranded.

The great thing about this level is that you are never stranded. They is usually a jump you can do to get back or in the case of the castle there is a teleport spot.
Yeah you are not wrong there. The slider theme was a bit overused. Edit: I think what makes it out of place is the slow moving carpets and slow pace in a lot of areas. If they added more of an adventure and a more heavenly sky I would have been fine with it. Because I think the whistling is why they used it. I also think that the secret courses that that were underground without a slide should not even have them. Also the race with the Koopa.
This level and tick tock clock are absolute torture! 😩 I think I’m having a harder time with tick tock clock, but this one’s no cake walk either that’s for sure. Thanks for the guide!
This is my favorite level in the whole game. Regardless to how slow the magic carpets are, the virtual view is sooo vast! And I like how although the dimensions of the 'tricky triangles' aren't present in the background when seen from the first and second magic carpets, AT LEAST the stars still show in the VAST background. Most furthest away, • Swingin' in the Breeze to the far right from the 'tricky triangles'. But since the stars, when they're blue, are darker and easier to see at a virtual distance, I like the view quality of the star while it's still yellow. And of course I and many other fans wish Wing caps were in this level. But although it would have made the level too much easier, the way that the level designer(s) could have included Wing caps without making the level too much easier, would have been if the first reachable block were on top of The Big House in the Sky. The rest of the blocks, only reachable using the Wing cap, could have been on little island platforms. More cannons too, also unreachable without the Wing cap.
I can't tell you how many lives I lost in the DS remake to this one level. I kept falling off the level so many times - usually on my quest to get the 100-Coin Star, it wasn't even funny. (It was infuriating, as you could no doubt tell.)
I am playing on tge Switch and it took me forever to get 100 coins. I was having trouble getting the blue coins that are on a timer. I finally tried using the dpad for the wall jumps and it made it much easier.
I learned that I can hold my breath for quite a while because of this level. This level scared me so much.. even though they are playing fun music and the colors are all bright and fun.
Somewhere over and around the rainbow is where you'll find Rainbow Ride, the final level in Super Mario 64 before you must face the ultimate final battle. This level looks kind of pretty, but the obstacles are anything but easy. At least Mario should be warmed up for the final battle. Good luck and happy flying!
You've probably seen Tricky Triangles (8:22-9:10). Many of the other stars are not very memorable, are omitted in 70 star speed runs, or simply don't end up in RUclips videos, because runners don't die at their tricks.
Cruiser Crossing the Rainbow= Medium, but annoying The Big House in the Sky= Very Hard Coins Amassed in a Maze= Consinderably Hard Swingnin' in the Breeze= Easy & Cool Tricky Triangles= Very easy & one of the coolest Stars in the Game Somewhere Over the Rainbow= Very Hard 100 Coins= Insanely Hard
I always thought TTC was an easier level compared to this one. years/decades later, i found out that more people hate the clock tower over rainbow ride and i just cant see it. its so much easier to fall off here than in the clock, and the clock sometimes gives you a chance to land on a lower level. even if it chunks your health, its better than dying imo. having to wait around for the carpets is stupid, and if youre not fast enough for any reason, the carpet disappears and youre either left stranded or forced to risk a long jump. and even if you make it past the carpets, one side has the ship with stupid wind mechanics on it, as well as the cannon with terrible aim that you have to compensate for, which if you miss means you get to start all over. and thats assuming you found the pink bomb omb on the literal other side of the level beforehand to open the cannon for you first. if nothing else, the clock is unique in that it lets you control the speed of the moving parts within the level. even if it's widely considered to be poorly implemented, at least it's a different mechanic that makes it stand out. meanwhile rainbow ride's gimmicks just suck. the only exception would be the 100 coins: its way easier on rainbow ride than the clock for the sheer fact taht there are so many coins here, whereas theres barely 120 or so in TTC.
Watching this video is depressing. Do you know how much time I spent on this level growing up? Do you know how many controllers I broke the two useless handles off of because of this level? How the fuck do you get this good at this game jesus fucking christ. You're not playing Mario you are Mario. /bow
Yo, you should watch Siglemic on Twitch/RUclips. Just search up his name and you won't regret it. He will amaze you in Super Mario 64. I'm only suggesting it because I also loved Super Mario 64 when growing up.
It’s odd to think this is in the same game as Bob-omb battlefield and shifting sand land. And it’s just as much as a course as them. I have rarely played this level.
I'm playing the pc port with the keyboard because I dont want to waste money in a controller but I want to play xD and I already knew I was fuked, but then I came to watch this video to see how fuck I am; I wont do this with just the WASD XD
well the zelda 64 like textures kinda ruined the vibe for me even though mario 64 came first it has oot/mm like textures otherwise it felt weirdcore and liminal and these texture choices made it feel like an oot/mm stage i wonder if a texture pack can help here

What if this level was during night and the rainbow road theme was playing?
Maybye the background would be that picture at the bottom of the stairs.
Idea: at night over 9:00 PM - 5:00 AM, while at Rainbow Ride, it will go to unfair mode due to how frustrating the level is.

Yep, a test of my patience.
This game was an early 3D game so cut it some slack!

@@therealthatonegamer he's right tho the first level bomb-omb battlefield looks better than this
This level was extremely frustrating but also one of the most memorable and nostalgic ones somehow. The view sometimes got pretty damn great
Well, it *did* end up as a Smash Bros. Melee stage.
I noticed that this is the only sandbox Mario game not to have Mario joined with some kind of buddy assisting him. Super Mario Sunshine has FLUDD, the Super Mario Galaxy games have Luma inside Mario’s hat, and Super Mario Odyssey has Cappy.
And now, fury has jr
I suppose technically he does have lakitu operating the camera.
They’re right, because this was the first 3D Mario, and not a side scroller, Lakitu would be his handy helper.
I think that’s perfect. It gives a better core element.
Did you forget Mario 3d land ?
ANYONE who hasn't 100 percented this game will NEVER understand the grind and frustration.
Been there done that
I'm almost 40 and finally doing it for the first time. This shit was way too hard as a kid. It's still insanely hard
Reach 100 coins on this one and the clock tower is a nightmare
Igor Carbex You mean Tick Tock Clock?
DoomMaster10913 the filthy casual Rainbow Ride's 100 coins are not that bad. TTC, on the other hand...
No, it's not. Rainbow Ride has so many coins. You don't even need more than one blue coin. I only got one blue coin and did it.
The clock one was worst than t bgg e rainbow ride
you have to enter when the clock is 12 o Clock, then the wolrd is stopped

The mechanics of being able to zoom in and out and change angles was mindblowing for the time.
yea it was frustrating but cool lol
I don't know how difficult it was with the N64 control to do this level, but I swear to you that on the keyboard, I cried from so many falls
Bro usb controllers exist
I remember failing so many times when it came to those wall jumps when I played this game as a kid.
Yeah wall jumping in sm64 is a pain it’s made much easier on sm64ds

The clock has a lot more tricky jumps to make, where as rainbow ride is just being patient and careful
the clocks camera sucks ass, but this is totally harder than the clock in terms of challenge.
Rainbow Ride is such a nice level
I was listening to orchestral SM64 music while playing this level and was reminded how much Mario loves Peach
This stage is a whimsical nightmare. Seriously.

Compared to tick tock clock this is a breeze (IMO)
The biggest tragedy is Rainbow Ride not having the wing cap.
