Lucky Cat Cup

The Lucky Cat Cup is a cup that appears in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as part of the Booster Course Pass DLC. Like most cups in the DLC, it exclusively features classic courses. It is the second of two cups in the first wave, being released alongside the Golden Dash Cup, the second cup of the pass overall, and the fourteenth cup of the game overall. The emblem of the cup is the Lucky Bell from Super Mario 3D World, making the Lucky Cat Cup is one of two cups in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to have some kind of Bell and its emblem, alongside the Bell Cup. Excluding the Extra Cups in Mario Kart: Super Circuit and the cups in Mario Kart Tour, this is the first cup in the Mario Kart series to feature multiple classic courses from the same game in a single cup, as it features both and Ninja Hideaway from Mario Kart Tour; notably, both of these courses are themed around Japan, matching the Japanese theme for the cup, a maneki-neko. The decorations on this cup's trophy are blue.
