Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Music menu
"Dolphin Shoals" being played in the Music menu

In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, a "Music" menu that features music from all 96 race courses and eight Battle mode courses was added through the Ver. 3.0.0 update released on November 8, 2023, alongside the final wave of the Booster Course Pass. The menu is a combination of the race course and battle course selection menus, and does not include music from menus or fanfares. The player can select between variations of certain music tracks, as well as choose to loop a single track or shuffle through all of the tracks. The artwork shown when selecting this menu from the main menu is the same one used for the cover of the Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack.
