'''Rainbow Route''' is a location found in and around the {{center}} of the [[Mirror World]], a dimension that lies parallel to [[Dream Land]]. It is mostly composed of an overgrown forest path that leads around the world in a circle. While mostly located in a forest, the Rainbow Route also features caves, tunnels, and mountain trails. At certain points, the path branches and connects to the many other locations of the Mirror World. In the {{center}} of the Rainbow Route there lies a giant rainbow from which a sanctuary-like building can be accessed. This building, which seems to be located in the sky since it is surrounded by clouds, serves as the resting place of an important mirror. During the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], Kirby visits this place only in one game, namely ''[[Kirby and the Amazing Mirror]]''.

'''Rainbow Route''' is a location found in and around the center of the [[Mirror World]], a dimension that lies parallel to [[Dream Land]]. It is mostly composed of an overgrown forest path that leads around the land in a circle. While mostly located in a forest, Rainbow Route also features caves, tunnels, and mountain trails. At certain points, the path branches and connects to the many other locations of the Mirror World, making Rainbow Route the main hub from which most other areas are reached. In the center of the Rainbow Route there lies a giant rainbow from which a [[Rainbow Route - Central Circle|sanctuary-like building]] can be accessed. This building, which seems to be located in the sky since it is surrounded by clouds, serves as the resting place of [[Dimension Mirror|an important mirror]]. During the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], [[Kirby]] visits this place only in one game, namely ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''.


==General Description==
==General Description==
Kirby travels through the Rainbow Route while attempting to save the Mirror World from [[Dark Mind]] during ''Kirby and the Amazing Mirror''. When he first arrives at the world's sanctuary after pursuing the foe who split him into four, he witnesses a fight between [[Meta Knight]] and his counterpart [[Dark Meta Knight]], the latter being responsible for Kirby's split. Dark Meta Knight then manages to trap Meta Knight inside the mirror and breaks it into eight shards, which he spreads over the whole world.

After that the Rainbow Route serves as the game's hub, connecting to all the areas Kirby needs to explore. Hidden throughout the different areas are several big switches which activate gateways between the areas and Rainbow Route's sanctuary. Kirby can use these gateways as shortcuts to travel faster through the Mirror World. After collecting all of the eight [[Mirror Shard]]s, the mirror in the {{center}} of the world becomes the passage leading to the final boss. After Kirby defeats Dark Mind, this is also the place where Meta Knight leaves [[Master|his sword]] behind.  
After that the Rainbow Route serves as the game's hub, connecting to all the areas Kirby needs to explore. Hidden throughout the different areas are several [[Big Switch]]es which activate [[Mirror Door]]s between the areas and the Central Circle. Kirby can use these gateways as shortcuts to travel faster through the Mirror World by jumping from hub to hub. After collecting all eight [[Mirror Shard]]s, the Dimension Mirror in the center of the world becomes the passage leading to [[Dark Mind|the final boss]]. After Kirby defeats this foe, Meta Knight leaves [[Master|his sword]] behind in front of the mirror, which Kirby can use from then on.  


From all nine areas found in ''Kirby and the Amazing Mirror'', Rainbow Route is the only one that features Mid Bosses, but no Bosses and therefore no Mirror Shards. It is also one of the two levels to be not named after a certain kind of food, the other one being [[Moonlight Mansion]].

==Map==
{{construction}}
{{AMRRNavMap}}
Rainbow Route is one of the largest areas in the game, consisting of 51 separate rooms. It also bears the Grand Central Hub in the center, which, by the end of the game, links to all the other areas in the world. The area can be described as fairly circuitous, with a single primary path leading from the central zone to the surrounding areas.
 
Rainbow Route is bordered to the east by [[Moonlight Mansion]], to the south by [[Cabbage Cavern]], to the north-east by [[Mustard Mountain]], and to the west by [[Carrot Castle]]. Each border links to these areas by several routes, making access fairly straightforward.
 
Rainbow Route has three Goal rooms. Completing these rooms takes Kirby and his clones to the [[Goal Game]], then returns them to the Grand Central Hub. There is no Boss Room for this area.
 
==Full Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}
===Hub 3===
This hub connects from [[Rainbow_Route#Room_31|Room 31]] to the left and [[Rainbow_Route#Room_34|Room 34]] on the right. Once this room is reached, it also links back to the [[Rainbow_Route#Grand_Central_Hub|Grand Central Hub]]. Additionally, once the appropriate hub is reached, this room also links to [[Mustard Mountain]].
 
The [[Beam]] and [[Tornado]] abilities are available in this room on Copy Pedestals.
 
===Goal 3===
One door links to this area, from [[Rainbow_Route#Room_29|Room 29]] to the right. The right entrance is one-way, meaning that Kirby cannot return to Room 29 from this room.
 
This room consists of woody terrain. There are a few Flamers below the bomb blocks. If Kirby goes down a bit, he will see the three-star door with the Warp Star to initiate the [[Goal Game]]. If he goes all the way down, and to left, he will fight [[Box Boxer]].

|[[Sparky]]
This level is linear, with Twisters, Waddle Doos, and a Sword Knight boxed in bomb blocks, along with food. A battery is not boxed in. The Twisters can leave the boxes. None of the bomb blocks block off any area when hit. The door at the end of the room leads to Goal room 3.

To the left of the door are a series of bottomless pits, separated by small pieces of land, with small platforms above them. Some of the platforms are ground, some are star blocks. At the far left is a two way door to room 27. The room has a mountain and forest appearance.

Entering from Hub room 3, Kirby begins inside of a mountain. Hit the bomb block to open the large wall, then continue along to the left. The lower path ends in a tomato, and the upper path allows access to the outside of the mountain. Also along the upper path is a treasure chest which cannot be reached when entering from the cannon in room 32, due to the bomb blocks at the entrance to the mountain blocking the chest when destroyed. The area outside the mountain is where Kirby begins when entering this room by cannon. At the far left of the room, there is a two way door to Room 30.

The cave themed room begins in a small bottom area with a ladder leading to the next level. A [[Boxin]] and [[Bronto Burt]] are in this section. The next level has a floor almost covered in spikes, and above are star blocks arranged in a checkerboard pattern. Trapped in the star blocks are a [[Waddle Doo]] and two [[Sparky]]s. Their abilities are little more than a distraction, however, because at the uppermost level is a cannon with a Hot Head next to it. To use the cannon, Kirby will need to obtain the [[Fire]] ability to light the fuse to proceed to Room 31.

|align=center|[[Beam]]
 
This room is a cave area with a sideways U-shaped layout. The right side of the room, where Kirby enters from 14, begins with a passage that includes Chips and Soarars. There is a battery on the lower left of the room, and above, there are two Twisters trapped in blocks, allowing Kirby to get the Tornado ability. Now on the upper level of the room, to the right are two pits of spikes with Scarfies and a Cupie, and another Soarar. A battery and a [[Food|ham]] lie beyond a wall after the spike pits (the ham behind star blocks). The door at the upper right of the level is one way to room 32.

Rainbow Route is far and away the largest area in the game, consisting of 51 separate rooms. It also bears the Central Circle (appropriately) in the center, which, by the end of the game, links to all the other areas in the world. The area can be described as fairly circuitous, with a single primary path leading from the central zone to the surrounding areas.

Rainbow Route is a location found in and around the center of the Mirror World, a dimension that lies parallel to Dream Land. It is mostly composed of an overgrown forest path that leads around the land in a circle. While mostly located in a forest, Rainbow Route also features caves, tunnels, and mountain trails. At certain points, the path branches and connects to the many other locations of the Mirror World, making Rainbow Route the main hub from which most other areas are reached. In the center of the Rainbow Route there lies a giant rainbow from which a sanctuary-like building can be accessed. This building, which seems to be located in the sky since it is surrounded by clouds, serves as the resting place of an important mirror. During the Kirby series, Kirby visits this place only in one game, namely Kirby & The Amazing Mirror.

General Description[edit]

Kirby travels through the Rainbow Route while attempting to save the Mirror World from Dark Mind during Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. When he first arrives at the Central Circle after pursuing the foe who split him into four, he witnesses a fight between Meta Knight and his counterpart Dark Meta Knight, the latter being responsible for Kirby's split. Dark Meta Knight then manages to trap Meta Knight inside the mirror and breaks it into eight shards, which he spreads over the whole world.

After that the Rainbow Route serves as the game's hub, connecting to all the areas Kirby needs to explore. Hidden throughout the different areas are several Big Switches which activate Mirror Doors between the areas and the Central Circle. Kirby can use these gateways as shortcuts to travel faster through the Mirror World by jumping from hub to hub. After collecting all eight Mirror Shards, the Dimension Mirror in the center of the world becomes the passage leading to the final boss. After Kirby defeats this foe, Meta Knight leaves his sword behind in front of the mirror, which Kirby can use from then on.

From all nine areas found in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Rainbow Route is the only one that features Mid-Bosses, but no Bosses and therefore no Mirror Shards. It is also one of the two levels to be not named after a certain kind of food, the other one being Moonlight Mansion.
