CTGPR Naming

7 Rainbow Road doesn't sound good of a name. At least change it to 7th Rainbow Road or pick another name.

Examples could be:

-Rainbow Route

-Rainbow Starway

-Rainbow Galaxy

-Rainbow Universe

-Rainbow Coaster

All I ask is for a better name for this track. --MitsySueG24 (talk) 12:08, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Rainbow Route sounds best. If not, Rainbow Galaxy. HerbertMcHoover (talk) 19:15, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

What is wrong with Rainbow Road? The track appeared in every mario kart game and really shouldn't be renamed. --kHacker35000vr (talk) 19:29, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

What do you mean? Are you saying we should change it to Rainbow Road? If yes, then I think the name is too general, and don't forget there are the original tracks in MKWii too. So it will be probably renamed to Rainbow Road 2. --MitsySueG24 (talk) 23:11, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

I wouldn't mind MK7 Rainbow Road as a CTGPR name. Because then the people that aren't members of the wiki will know exactly what it is. -- FunkyDude15 (talk) 23:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

That's an obvious reference to Mario Kart 7, so nope. 7 by itself is more obscure, but I hate that option. I support Rainbow Route.

I should've done this discussion earlier, the opposed CTGPR name has already been translated in all different languages. So, I think it's too late... --MitsySueG24 (talk) 23:28, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Rainbow Route is a horrendous name. No, we shall keep it Rainbow Road by tradition and it shall use 7 because of the Lucky 7 spam on this track. I find that quite fitting. --Torran (talk) 16:24, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

I happen to like 7 Rainbow Road, but I think it would be better with the number written as a word: Seven Rainbow Road. In the case of CTGP translations, it is ultimately up to Chadderz and Bean which names are selected. --Jefe (talk) 18:20, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

How about Rainbow Road Seven? HerbertMcHoover (talk) 19:18, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

I like Herberts idea, either change to that or to Seventh Rainbow Road. (But the idea of changing it to a different name isn't gone yet). --MitsySueG24 (talk) 11:58, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Let's just call it Rainbow Road 7 to be consistent with the 3DS fake track names not having a prefix and SNES track names keeping the number at the end.

That's a great idea, Zilla. --Jefe (talk) 18:23, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Well now that 3DS Rainbow Road is released, shouldn't we decide whether to call it 7 Rainbow Road or Rainbow Road: Solar Edition? --MitsySueG24 (talk) 02:25, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

I'd say go with Rainbow Road: Solar Edition. It sounds a lot better than 7 Rainbow Road and makes sure to remove all the references to 3DS, to be consistent with the other 3DS tracks in CTGP-R and lower the risk of copyright trouble. --BigOto (talk) 05:10, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Chip cookies or cannons ?

What do you think ? It's better a mushroom-like section or cannons ? Reply! User:dswii3ds (talk)

My version will be cannon-free. I'm still trying to figure out the logistics but whatever I put to replace the MK7 elements will not involve cannons as they wouldn't really work for the short distances (and they are ugly in my opinion). --BigOto (talk) 21:20, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Lap Count

2 laps? The original was 1 lap. ~ Camewel

It's 2 laps for a few reasons, but the main reason why I chose 2 laps was because it adds more strategy to the placement of bananas and FIBs as players will pass through each area more than once. A lot of people also thought that the original was too short and/or did not like the "sectioned" format so this makes it a compromise of sorts. There are also some background elements that move over time, which makes more sense if players can see them relative to their position on the track more than once. If distribution creators want to modify it to make it 1 lap (or 3 laps if they dare!) they can go ahead and do so. --BigOto (talk) 03:47, 16 September 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, I talked to Troy about this and we decided that if (when) it gets into CTT it'll probably be 1 lap. ~ Camewel

Download

So i cant download,My sophos virus web protect wont allow it.Help or place it on another site please --Frosty (talk) 20:25, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

This seems to be a universal issue no matter where I upload the track to, as each anti-virus seems to react differently to each website. To counter this I'll upload a mirror to both Dropbox and Mega this weekend as I currently don't have much time at all for non-school-or-college-related-stuff, but in the mean time try pausing the antivirus, downloading, then re-enabling immediately after. --BigOto (talk) 01:47, 18 September 2013 (UTC)

2 Laps

The Track is a 3 and not a 2 lap track. The Author didn´t change the Unknown A Data in the STGI section of the KMP.

--Horsti12 (talk) 17:24, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Except I did. Read the article know why it still shows 3 laps in many cases. --BigOto (talk) 23:32, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
