Ninja Hideaway reappears as a [[classic course]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', as the fourth and last course of the [[Lucky Cat Cup]]. Its theme was arranged for the Booster Course Pass end credits.

In the standard layout, the course begins atop part of the manor rooftop before moving onto an arched bridge. A right turn appears at a [[Chain Chomp]] motif, followed by a wooden deck with two left turns. At the second left turn, there is a wooden staircase leading up to an upper level. If this route is not taken, the player then moves into multiple rooms inside the manor with a few shoji doors and [[Ceiling Needle]]s, the last of which serves as a platform on the upper route and can lead to another upper area filled with coins. After another left turn, the player encounters a few ninja [[Shy Guy]]s before taking a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]] past Shy Guys on kites and air-blowing bamboo stalks to a pagoda - this applies to the upper route as well. The pagoda's upper path features a few floorboards the player can traverse, while the lower path features a sewer system with running water. Both paths curve left and lead to a side roof with a grated path above, along with a few upwards wind currents produced by pinwheels. The course then makes an S-curve to the finish line, along with a glide ramp on the left that the player can use to access the upper floor of the manor.

The course also appears as '''Ninja Hideaway R''' (reversed), '''Ninja Hideaway T''' (with ramps) and '''Ninja Hideaway R/T''' (reversed with ramps). The former two debuted alongside the normal variant in the [[Ninja Tour (2021)|2021 Ninja Tour]], while the latter debuted in the [[Mario vs. Peach Tour]]. In the T and R/T variants, all Ceiling Needles and glide ramps on the course are removed. In the T variant, the staircase at the beginning is blocked off, and racers use a glide ramp just before the S-surve.

Ninja Hideaway makes its console debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' via the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]. It is the fourth and final course of the [[Lucky Cat Cup]], and as such was added in the first wave of the DLC. The track's design is mostly identical to its appearance in ''Mario Kart Tour'', albeit upscaled and with updated visuals. The pond nestled before the entrance into the manor can now be tricked off of and a light near it was moved. The trickable slanted wooden surface that appeared in ''Mario Kart Tour'' right before the Ceiling Needle rooms has been removed. The ridges in the rooftop section can now all be tricked off of, even if they do not drop off to lower portions of the track. Depending on the item settings in play, the ninja Shy Guys may be replaced with items other than [[Banana]]s, or no items at all. The [[Finish line (object)|finish line]] gate can no longer be spun around, like it does in ''Mario Kart Tour''; gliding drivers will fly over it, and items and drivers colliding with it will not make it spin.<ref>Daniel MK Moments (March 19, 2023).

Similar to [[Dragon Driftway]], the course has a shamisen and shakuhachi added to its intro theme. The music has also been updated, removing the electric guitar heard in its original arrangement.
