'''Sky-High Sundae''' is a race course released as part of Wave 2 of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', appearing as the fourth and last course of the [[Propeller Cup]], and in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' debuting as the featured course of the [[Sundae Tour (2022)|2022 Sundae Tour]].  It is set in a large area made entirely of ice cream and other candy-related food high in the sky. It is the first course in the series to be announced for two games simultaneously, and is also the first course to be labeled as a [[new course]] for multiple games (later followed by [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] and [[Squeaky Clean Sprint]]). Sky-High Sundae was one of two courses whose music was used for the reveal trailer for Wave 2 of the Booster Course Pass, alongside {{classic-link|DS|Waluigi Pinball}}, not including ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''{{'}}s [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|Rainbow Road]], whose music was also used in promotional material for other waves.

Sky-High Sundae appears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', debuting in the [[Sundae Tour (2022)|2022 Sundae Tour]]. The trailer for Wave 2 of the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' – Booster Course Pass, which revealed Sky-High Sundae, also features a note which revealed that the course would be added to ''Mario Kart Tour'' as well. The course was later teased by the official ''Mario Kart Tour'' Twitter account one day after its release in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', which revealed its inclusion in the following tour. It was released in ''Mario Kart Tour'' less than a week after its debut in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.

The course does not feature anti-gravity, and there is a [[penguin]] bartender in the freezer in place of a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. While the handrails do not provide Spin Boosts, the player can perform tricks by hitting the top of the handrails. Additionally, the rotating Item Boxes on the helipad are completely static (with the H being yellow instead of pink). The lining on the glass platforms is white instead of gold. The dark windows of the Ice Café are light. The red icing dabs at the base of the building and other ice shops are pink. Ridges on the pink ice cream scoops allow for tricks to be performed in two spots, unlike in ''8 Deluxe''. The yellow ice cream scoops are found in place of the red ones. The opaque pieces of ice are translucent. The minimap also features the ice cream cone at the beginning of the track.
