Boomerang Cup

The Boomerang Cup is a cup that appears in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as part of the Booster Course Pass DLC. It is the second of two cups in the fourth wave of the DLC, being released alongside the Fruit Cup, the eighth cup of the pass overall, and the twentieth cup of the game overall. Like most cups in the pass, it only features classic courses. Excluding the Extra Cups in Mario Kart: Super Circuit and the cups in Mario Kart Tour, this is the third cup in the Mario Kart series to feature two classic courses from the same game, after the Lucky Cat Cup and the Moon Cup, as it features two courses from Mario Kart Tour: Bangkok Rush and Singapore Speedway. This is the first cup in the pass to feature two city courses from Mario Kart Tour, and thus, the first cup to have one of the course prefixes repeated. The emblem of the cup is a Boomerang Flower, making the Boomerang Cup one of the two cups in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe to have a kind of flower as its emblem, alongside the Flower Cup. The decorations on this cup's trophy are yellow.
