According to the official description for the Mario Kart Rainbow Road Hot Wheels set, the track measures 8-feet long and features five translucent rainbow-colored race lanes that can be configured for a winding or straight path. Up to five Mario Kart 1:64 scale die-cast metal karts can launch at the electronic start gate – an exclusive King Boo and Mario are included with the set. “Once the karts get racing, they may face banked turns or a wavy road and must pass through the Item Box randomizer to win! Lights and sounds announce the winner at the finish gate”.
