In Super Smash Bros. Melee, there is a stage based on Rainbow Ride, known as Rainbow Cruise in the North American release, which is Rainbow Ride's Japanese name. In PAL versions of Melee and Brawl, its name is corrected to "Rainbow Ride," but Brawl 's North American release and both English releases of Ultimate still refer to it as "Rainbow Cruise."
The background music for Rainbow Ride is heard at several places throughout Super Mario 64, including the races against Koopa the Quick, The Princess's Secret Slide, the slides on Cool, Cool Mountain and Tall, Tall Mountain, as well as the entire level of Tick Tock Clock. It is fast and joyful music. The music shares the melody of the main theme of the game, as heard in Bob-omb Battlefield; Whomp's Fortress; Tall, Tall Mountain; and Tiny-Huge Island. This melody is also used in the music heard in Cool, Cool Mountain and Snowman's Land. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, the music for the stage is a medley of the original Super Mario 64 track and the Super Mario Bros. underwater theme. Despite the many appearances of the music in Super Mario 64, it was labeled as "Rainbow Cruise" in the Super Smash Bros. Melee Sound Test.
