This version of Rainbow Road reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the sixth and final wave of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC. It is the fourth and final course in the [[Spiny Cup]], and the final course in the DLC and game overall. The course is largely based on its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour'', but with significant visual upgrades. Unlike other Booster Course Pass tracks, the course model has not been upscaled from ''Tour'', meaning the track is narrower than most other ones in the pass, matching the ''Mario Kart Wii'' version. The entire course is now in [[anti-gravity]], making it one of five courses in the game with this distinction, alongside [[Mute City]], {{classic-link|GCN|Baby Park}}, [[Big Blue]], and [[Sky-High Sundae]]. This also results in several [[Spin Boost Pillar]]s appearing along the track. The ramps lining the holes in the figure-8 section of the course have returned.<ref>GameXplain (November 1, 2023).

Retrieved November 1, 2023.</ref> Additionally, the Item Boxes above the half-pipes in the figure-8 section have returned, and there are Double Item Boxes at the set before the wavy track. The required half-pipe jump has been modified from ''Tour'' to be closer to the ''Wii'' original, though it is not identical. The dash panels along the second curve of each split path are now on the outside of the curve, and each dash panel along the final U-turn has been moved to the opposite side of the track. Lastly, more guard rails once again appear along the sides of the split path part of the track: Both paths are fully covered on the outside of both of their turns. In the case of the first turns, there are no guard rail gaps between them and the start of the section, and in the case of the second turns, there are no guard rail gaps between them and the dash panel ramps. Unlike in ''Mario Kart Tour'', the course has reverted to having three laps instead of sections. It is the longest three-lap course in the game, beating [[Toad Harbor]] from the original ''Mario Kart 8'' and {{classic-link|DS|Waluigi Pinball}} and {{classic-link|Wii|Maple Treeway}} from previous waves of the ''Booster Course Pass''. | This version of Rainbow Road reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the sixth and final wave of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] DLC.

Visually, the course is also noticeably paler on color compared to how it appeared in ''Mario Kart Tour'', making it closer resemble how it originally appeared in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''.

The sound effect for the cannon has been brought back after being absent in ''Mario Kart Tour''.

Additionally, the effect of characters burning up when they fall off the course was retained from ''Mario Kart Wii'', though the effect is shorter and racers fall off more horizontally. | ||
