Editing Rainbow Route

{{construction}}

[[File:KatAM S RainbowRoute1.PNG|thumb|The center of the '''Rainbow Route'''.]]

'''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]]''.

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.  

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.

 

 

 

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]].

 

 

This hub connects from [[Rainbow_Route#Room_24|Room 24]] to the left and [[Rainbow_Route#Room_25|Room 25]] 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 [[Carrot Castle]].

 

The [[Parasol]] and [[Spark]] abilities are available in this room on Copy Pedestals.

 

 

This goal room consists of woody terrain. Kirby starts at the top right of the room, with a Roly-Poly in front of him. If he goes all the way down, he will fight [[Batafire]]. He will get the [[Burning]] ability, if he inhales Batafire, after defeating him. To the right of where Batafire is fought, there is a treasure chest. There are also a few Blockins hiding in star blocks, so be careful. The top left of the room is where the three star door to initiate the Warp Star minigame is located.

===Room 18===

Five doors link to this area, the surface and underground doors from [[Rainbow_Route#Room_17|Room 17]], one from Room 19 below left, one from Room 20 on the left, and one that leads to [[Cabbage Cavern]] on the right. The doors from Room 17 and the one that leads to Room 19 are one-way, meaning that Kirby cannot return to Room 17 and Room 18, respectively.

 

Like Room 17, the grassy and woody terrain continue. It is recommended to take the left door on the surface of Room 17 because Kirby will be able to access both the surface and underground through destroying a Bomb Block on the surface of Room 18. Room 18 has a small treasure chest on its surface. On the underground, there are two doors: one that is blocked by a heavy star block that can be removed by inhaling on the right, and another one that leads to [[Rainbow_Route#Room_19|Room 19]] on the left.

 

*None.

*[[Fire]]

Three doors link to this area, two from [[Rainbow_Route#Goal_2|Goal 2]] on the left and one from [[Rainbow_Route#Room_18|Room 18]] on the right. The right entrance is one way, meaning that Kirby cannot return to Room 18 directly from this room.

 

This is an underground room with woody terrain. There are three groups of Bomb Blocks. The first group holds a 1-UP. The other two have Maxim Tomatoes. Kirby should be careful when destroying the Bomb Blacks because of hidden spikes that will be revealed. The aforementioned items are between the spikes. There is also a [[Mirra]] that contains one of two entrances leading to Goal 2.

===Room 26===

Two doors link to this area; [[Rainbow_Route#Room_25|Room 25]] to the lower-left and [[Rainbow_Route#Room_27|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, [[Chip]]s 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 28===

Two doors link to this area; [[Rainbow_Route#Room_29|Room 29]] to the left and [[Rainbow_Route#Room_27|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. [[Chip]]s, [[Sparky]]s and [[Waddle Doo]]s 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 32===

Two doors link to this area; [[Rainbow_Route#Room_31|Room 31]] from above and [[Rainbow_Route#Room_33|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 [[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.

===Room 33===

Two doors link to this area; [[Rainbow_Route#Room_32|Room 32]] from above and [[Rainbow_Route#Room_14|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 [[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.
