The stage is somewhat a combination of [[GCN DK Mountain|DK Mountain]] from ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' and [[DS DK Pass|DK Pass]] from ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. Like DK Mountain, it has a Barrel Cannon aimed at a mountain and a zigzagging, crevice-filled path to the goal line, and like DK Pass, it is covered in snow and has various small snow piles that slow the player down if they run into them, as well as numerous [[Dash Panel]]s.

DK Summit 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 third course of the [[Fruit Cup]]. Its design is based on its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour'', only with significant visual upgrades and modifications. For example, the jumbotron at the end of the halfpipe has been brought back to the course after it was removed in ''Tour'', now sporting a redesigned look. The [[Barrel Cannon]] is now shown to have visible frost on itself. The giant snowboarding Donkey Kong statue is still present, but it is now made out of wood instead of stone. The sky and background for the course has been slightly desaturated to appear slightly less blue compared to how it looks in ''Tour''. The mountains in the background have also been redone to appear less cartoony and less two-dimensional, with more depth and shading applied to them; they are also a darker shade of brown, like in ''Wii''. On the mogul field, a red fence with [[Toad (species)|Toads]] as spectators has been added, beneath the Donkey Kong statue. Coins on the downhill section have moved to all be closer together.<ref>任天堂ホームページ (March 2, 2023). [https://youtu.be/XfKvMaS6g10 Wii DKスノーボードクロス]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved March 3, 2023.</ref> Additional Shy Guy Snowboarders can be seen sliding downhill in the background. The falling snow returns, although the fog mechanic doesn't. The course map has also been flipped 180°, so that the starting line is at the top of the map like in ''Mario Kart Wii''. In addition, the shortcuts over the chasms between the mogul fields and the halfpipe can be performed once again. The music for the course now features more loud, low-pitched bass synths, notably during the opening of the song.

The course is once again referred to as "DK's Snowboard Cross" when the Nintendo Switch console region is set to Europe or Australia/New Zealand, making it one of two courses in the Booster Course Pass so far to have a different name in British English compared to American English, the other being {{Classic-link|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}} (or {{Classic|3DS|Alpine Pass}}). Additionally, this course is one of three in the Booster Course Pass to not have its minimap rotated so that drivers start facing straight up on it, the other two being {{Classic-link|DS|Shroom Ridge}} and {{Classic-link|DS|Mario Circuit}}, and it is the only course to have its starting line on a horizontal stretch of the minimap.
