| - Rainbow Way Galaxy is the final main level of Super Mario 64: Star Revenge and Redone. Even though there are stages which take place in main level slots (Path to Second Overworld is course 15 and SMB 1-1 is course 14), they only contain one star (though in order to get to the final Bowser, you need all of them). This level is on the second floor of the Starenemy castle. Just go through the pipe outside of the last course and avoid all the Starenemy Amps on this level of the fort. As the name implies, this course is a level set in outer space. It is composed of many islands connected by rainbow bridges. Besides the couple of grassy islands, there is mountain that encompasses a lot of the stage. The level also extends very high up; needing a cannon to reach the second half of it.The terrain is very diverse, having an area with ice and even including a volcanic section. Most of the portions of the level stem from one central platform where there are bridges that lead to the volcano, an icy slope, and floating platforms which leads to the cannon. From the cannon Mario can reach a couple of disjointed platforms and also shoot to the start of (though there is another, more consistent way to reach here) the mountainous path which leads to the very top of the galaxy. This level also is the least changed level of the entire game when compared to the original. The stars are in the same order, nothing is really made simpler or more difficult, and even the red coins are in the same places. The only real difference is that the Starenemy Fly guys have been replaced with various other enemies.
