Rainbow Islands Extra (レインボー・アイランド・エキストラ) is a strange update to Rainbow Islands, released exclusively for the Sega Mega Drive by Taito in 1990.

Although it offers a port of the original Rainbow Islands, the default option is the "extra" mode, in which all the cute and colourful enemies found in the original game are replaced with enemies found in Taito's shoot-'em-up series, Darius. The music in extra mode has also been replaced with tunes from that game. The rules are otherwise the same as in the original - create rainbows to defeat enemies and reach the top of the screen.

Rainbow Islands Extra was only released in Japan.
