smile balls/slimes are even harder to find then iron, so it is ok.
They're harder to find, but once you find a good source of them (swamp or a slime chunk) then it's not hard to get large quantities. Iron on the other hand, is much easier to find, but you'll eventually run out around your local area, and you'll have to branch out more and more to find it (unless you build an iron farm). Other people might think differently, but I'd rather use slime balls than iron, as I find myself running out of iron very quickly when building rail systems.

Perhaps a better recipe would just to be to place any type of rail in the grid with two slimeballs on either side? This way you could also have any sort of rail--sticky activator, powered, and detector rails. Just a thought.

This would make it very expensive (slimeball-wise) to make a large sum of rails.

It's supposed to be that way. It encourages the player to use standard rails where they can, instead of just using sticky rails to go wherever they want.
Besides, I see this being used much more in adventure maps and the like than in survival. Going on walls and ceilings may be cool, but it just isn't much more useful for travel than regular rails.

Right, but it's still possible. That's why I think this would be of limited usefulness in survival, but I could see many cool things happening with these on custom maps and such.

Aren't powered rails made with gold?

I support:
I dont think so

Changes recipes to these, thye are much better
This is true, but I would think these type of rails would be a novelty, not something you would use absolutely everywhere.

the rails can even go straight down holes
Right, but you can do that without sticky rails, just by putting rails to the end of the hole, and then having the minecart fall.
not as fun that way...

Thanks mate
