Rainbow Route is a location found in and around the
Unspecified centered text.
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
Unspecified centered text.
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 and the Amazing Mirror.
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 Shards, the mirror in the

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 his sword behind.
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.

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.

Hub 3
This hub connects from Room 31 to the left and Room 34 on the right. Once this room is reached, it also links back to the 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 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.

Room 25
Two doors link to this area; Hub 4 from below and Room 26 from the upper-right.
In this forest room, there is a Noddy on a platform in front of the door and a Wheelie enclosed below the door. The level is a series of slopes along the ground that the Wheel ability can cross. Above this is a bomb block line that can release enemies, a Shotzo, a Cherry and a battery to the platforms below. Next to the bomb block on the left side is an Invincibility Candy. On the far left is the door to Hub 4.

Room 26
Two doors link to this area; Room 25 to the lower-left and Room 27 from the upper-right.
This forest room with wood platforms has an S shaped layout. After going down the ladder, Kirby can go to the left and find a Cookin. When inhaled, Chips and a Snooter will appear in the enclosed space under the Cookin, to allow Kirby to cook a large amount of food. Down the ladder Kirby can find a pep brew. Kirby goes to the right to find a Droppy in front of the ladder down. Then to the left is a Prank and the two way door to room 25.

Room 27
Three doors link to this area; Room 28 to the left, Room 26 to the lower-left and Room 30 from the right.
The door to room 30 is at the top of a long one way platform with a ladder at the left side. Below this are three cannons, with platforms above them. The middle cannon shoots Kirby to the top cannon, and the top cannon shoots Kirby into a Rocky, at the top of the platform. Below the bottom cannon is a small pool of water with a bottom, which has a pep brew in it. At the bottom of the room is the two way door to room 26 and the bottom cannon. When entering from this door, the cannon is the only way to exit the small bottom area because there are black blocks above the hole in the ceiling.
There is another cannon, behind star blocks, that shoots into a spike covered section towards metal blocks. Above the metal blocks are ladders leading up to the two way door to room 28. To the left of the door are a pep brew and a bomb block that allows access to the middle cannon and back to the rest of the room.

Room 28
Two doors link to this area; Room 29 to the left and Room 27 from the right. The right entrance is one-way, meaning that Kirby cannot return directly to Room 27 from this room.
The ground from the door has a series of ramps that can be rolled over with wheel going left but not right. Below that, the ramps go the opposite way. Chips, Sparkys and Waddle Doos are along these paths. At the end of the second path are a lot of star blocks, and two bomb blocks. If Kirby hits the bomb block in front, he can reach a cherry, but the treasure chest is blocked. This bomb block makes a way up to the door to leave the room and try again. If Kirby hits the lower block only, then he can get green spray paint from the chest. This can be achieved by using Beam while standing on the edge of the platform just past the star blocks. Continue left along the lowermost level to reach the one way door to room 29.

Room 29
Two doors link to this area; Goal 3 to the left and Room 28 from the right. The right entrance is one-way, meaning that Kirby cannot return directly to Room 28 from this room.
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.

Room 30
Two doors link to this area; Room 27 from the left and Room 31 to the right.
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.

Room 31
Two doors link to this area; Room 30 from the left and Hub 3 to the right. Additionally, a cannon from Room 32 will blast Kirby into this room.
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.

Room 32
Two doors link to this area; Room 31 from above and Room 33 below. The lower-right entrance is one-way, meaning that Kirby cannot return directly to Room 33 from this room.
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 Sparkys. 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.

Room 33
Two doors link to this area; Room 32 from above and Room 14 to the lower-right. The lower-right entrance is one-way, meaning that Kirby cannot return directly to Room 14 from this room.
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 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.
