This version of Mario Circuit returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 4 of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]. It appears as the second course of the [[Boomerang Cup]]. It is the second [[Mario Circuit]] course in the pass, after {{classic-link|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}}, and the third circuit course in the pass overall, after {{classic-link|3DS|Toad Circuit}} and {{classic|SNES|Mario Circuit 3}}. Despite first being announced for ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' a day before its ''Mario Kart Tour'' announcement, it would debut in ''Mario Kart Tour'' before the release of Wave 4, giving this course the distinction of having the shortest gap between classic course appearances, with only a 19-hour gap; beating the previous course with this distinction, {{classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens}}, by six days. Mario Circuit's inclusion in Wave 4 coincides with the wave's release date being near [[Mario Day]]. Due to time zones, in some regions, it is the only retro course in the series to reappear in multiple games in one day.<ref>(March 7, 2023). [https://youtu.be/l9L6ftPBxGM]. ''YouTube''.

The course uses its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour'', with major visual upgrades. A [[Wiggler]] has been added to the forest section of the course - it sleeps for around a minute and 27 seconds before waking up and beginning to move, meaning racers will encounter it on Lap 3. It will walk down to where the first turn of the forest section begins, loop around in the offroad, and continue back before eventually leaving the course entirely. A set of Item Boxes outside Peach's Castle has been moved. There are less flowers outside of Peach's Castle compared to ''Tour''. The spiral design on the trees' trunks has been removed. The yellow pipe after the first turn has been removed and the yellow and blue pipes near the S-turn have been made smaller to extend a fence.<ref>任天堂ホームページ (March 2, 2023).

In descriptions given by [[Nintendo]] for all of the Wave 4 courses, this course was mistakenly described with elements from [[3DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', with the course being said to have "blossoming trees" (referring to the cherry blossoms in that course) and taking racers through a winding path into Peach's Castle. The footage does not show a route with "blossoming trees" or a route inside Peach's Castle; instead, a fence is visible in front of the castle entrance, the castle doors are shut, and the castle bridge only comes up to the offroad.<ref>https://www.polygon.com/23621879/mario-kart-8-deluxe-switch-booster-course-dlc-4-release-date</ref>
