New York Minute returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' via the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' – Booster Course Pass]] DLC. It is a combination of the first three routes, and appears as the first course of the [[Turnip Cup]].

The course also appears as '''New York Minute R''' (reversed), '''New York Minute T''' (with ramps), and '''New York Minute R/T''' (reversed with ramps).

New York Minute has the longest gap in appearances between tours, having not reappeared since its debut in the game's [[New York Tour|first tour]] until the [[Autumn Tour (2022)|2022 Autumn Tour]] 81 tours later (making it the first city course and course in general to have its R and T variants appear in a tour, but not its N variant). Its normal variant also shares this distinction, having not reappeared since the first tour prior until the [[Night Tour]].

In the standard layout, all of the racers start the course in front of {{wp|Times Square}}. Just after the starting line, the road bends in a sinusoidal curve to the left and then the right through {{wp|Broadway (Manhattan)|Broadway}} and ends in a cobblestone path that leads into {{wp|Central Park}}. In the park, the road takes a sharp turn to the right and circles back to the bordering road, where it takes an abrupt left. After a sharp right turn, the players reach a [[Glide Ramp]] while approaching the [[Empire State Building]]. After two sharp right turns, the players return to the starting line.

The course also appears as '''New York Minute 2R''' (reversed), '''New York Minute 2T''' (with ramps), and '''New York Minute 2R/T''' (reversed with ramps).  

New York Minute 2 is the first city course and course in general to have its N and T variants appear in a tour, but not its R variant. Its reverse variant also shares this distinction, having not reappeared since the former tour prior to the [[Night Tour]].

The course also appears as '''New York Minute 3R''' (reversed), '''New York Minute 3T''' (with ramps), and '''New York Minute 3R/T''' (reversed with ramps).

Similar to [[Tour Tokyo Blur#Tokyo Blur 4|Tokyo Blur 4]], the track visits every landmark and location found in the previous three iterations of the New York Minute course on a race divided by two sections instead of two laps. Due to this, it has a different starting grid layout. In the standard layout, the course starts out in front of {{wp|Times Square}}. The player travels on the right side of the Y-joint on {{wp|Broadway (Manhattan)|Broadway}} and takes a [[Dash Panel]] across some parked [[cargo truck]]s to a 270-degree loop around {{wp|Central Park}}. After a sharp right turn, the player enters the [[Rockefeller Center]] and takes a right reverse curve through the tower's foyer before entering its parking lot. A gradual right turn follows, sending the player back to the front of Times Square for the second section. This time, the player follows the left side of the Y-joint, then takes a sharp right to the parked cargo trucks and taxis, which also features two [[dash panel ramp truck]]s (one with a Dash Panel and one with a [[Glide Ramp]]). After three more sharp rights towards and around the Rockefeller Center, the player reaches the finish line, finishing the race.

The course also appears as '''New York Minute 4R''' (reversed), '''New York Minute 4T''' (with ramps), and '''New York Minute 4R/T''' (reversed with ramps).

New York Minute reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' via the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] downloadable content. It appears as the first course of the [[Turnip Cup]], making it one of two courses from ''Mario Kart Tour'' to appear in the second wave, alongside {{classic-link|Tour|Sydney Sprint}}. The course has received significant visual upgrades compared to its original appearance; notably, the streets are now slick with water, and the traction on the course is slipperier as a result. The course features numerous more [[Toad (species)|Toads]], [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], and [[Shy Guy|Shy Guys]] than its ''Tour'' counterpart. Like {{classic-link|Tour|Tokyo Blur}}, this version of New York Minute dedicates each lap to one of the variants in ''Mario Kart Tour''. However, like {{classic-link|Tour|Paris Promenade}}, it also has parts of each route available as split paths. There is a texturing error in the parking garage in this version of the course; the semi truck with the Burning DK logo on it erroneously overlaps the words "Sports" and "Energy". Additionally, despite the bridge in Central Park going over another part of the track, there are no shadows under that part on the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' minimap, though there are shadows where the parked taxis are, which takes place over the interior of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. It is currently one of two ''Mario Kart Tour'' city tracks not to rotate the minimap, the other being {{classic-link|Tour|Sydney Sprint}}.

The first lap is based on New York Minute, taking the right exit out of {{wp|Times Square}} and then a 270° left turn through {{wp|Central Park}}, which now contains two [[Goomba]]s. This leads to the [[Rockefeller Center]], through which the original path that heads straight toward {{wp|30 Rockefeller Plaza}} before taking an S-bend to the left is still available. However, there is now an additional option to make an S-bend earlier and end up on a road taken in New York Minute 2, the Glide Ramp of which is now only on the left half and leads to an [[Item Box]] on top of a bus, though there is also a set of traffic lights here that causes racers to spin out and fall to the ground if they collide with it while gliding. A manhole cover appears on the right side of the road here, occasionally spouting [[Water Geyser|water]] that allows for a [[Jump Boost]] to be performed; the geyser is shorter than in ''Tour'', however. Both paths converge and pass the [[Empire State Building]], {{wp|St. Patrick's Cathedral (Midtown Manhattan|St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan}}, and two stationary [[Car (obstacle)|taxi]]s on the way to the finish line (in a similar vain to New York Minute 4T, but in a different arrangement and without ramps).

*'''Nintendo Switch News app (UK):''' '''''Go on a lightning-fast tour of the city in New York Minute!'''<br>This course, which debuted in the smart device game Mario Kart Tour, lets you take in all the nighttime neon of Times Square while you race through a maze of New York's famous skyscrapers. Just watch out for another thing New York is famous for - traffic! You'll need to swerve around tour buses and taxis to make it onto the podium. What's more, the route you'll take changes from lap to lap, so you'll have to keep your wits about you to make sure you don't crash and burn!''
