DK Summit makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', introduced in the [[Snow Tour]] (making this the first Wii course to make its classic course debut in ''Mario Kart Tour''). The ''Mario Kart'' logo on the starting banner now uses its modern version instead of its classic one, the starting banner itself is made completely out of metal instead of wood, the metallic grids around the start are replaced with plastic fencing, and there is a snowcat stationed by the starting grid. The gates racers pass through before entering the cannon now emit the sound of an airhorn (which was previously used in [[Super Bell Subway]] and [[Tour Tokyo Blur|Tokyo Blur 3]], and later in [[Tour Tokyo Blur|Tokyo Blur 4]]) as they open, rather than a bell sound. The sign that says "DK Cannon" now uses the ''Super Mario'' logo font.

On the course, the wooden snowboarding Mario statue near the moguls area is replaced with a stone Donkey Kong statue, most of the trees are absent, and the launch after the start/finish line now encompasses a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]]. A stretch of half-pipe ramp between the second chasm turn and the final stretch of the course was removed, and there is only one Dash Panel instead of two before entering the final section. An additional patch of snow was added to the right side of the road at the beginning of the section, while the other two patches of snow were made more uniform in shape and size. The falling snow mechanic has been removed, with the course now being sunny throughout the whole race. The course's map has also been rotated 180°, with the starting line at the bottom of the map.

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.

Internally, DK Summit is referred to as "Cnsw_42", implying it may have originally been intended to be the second course of the Fruit Cup.

Prior to its official reveal, DK Summit was among the courses featured in an {{media link|MK8DX BCP Leak.jpg|internal banner}} for the Booster Course Pass located within the game's data in version 2.0.0.
