Rainbow Road Stage Announced for Super Smash Bros.

Rainbow Road is the setting of the newly announced stage for the Nintendo 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. Sakurai revealed the stage through an image in today’s daily update, and he even left a message to accompany the announcement:

Here’s a new 3DS stage–Rainbow Road! It can’t be explained in one picture, but it’s going to be a cruise-type stage.

Based off the image, this particular Rainbow Road is taken right from Mario Kart 7. Sakurai notes that the stage will be a “cruise-type stage,” possibly meaning that we will see a majority of the track as the main platform flies around the stage. What are your thoughts on the announcement? Do you think there will be a Rainbow Road counterpart for the Wii U version?
