Waluigi Pinball makes its home console debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 2 of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]], appearing as the fourth and final course of the [[Turnip Cup]]. The course uses its design from ''Mario Kart Tour'', albeit with enhanced graphical updates. The rotating bumpers have been reverted to a faster speed, retaining their clockwise rotation first changed in ''Mario Kart 7''. They can also now be crashed into when using a [[Star]], flying into the air as a result. Several groups of spectators consisting of [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Toad (species)|Toads]], [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], and [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s have now been added in various locations outside of the track's playable area, such as the sides of the chute behind the flippers and around the stretch of road after the gap jump leading to the pinball table, and a helicopter now appears above the large image of Waluigi at the end of the course. The flippers now give off an electric particle effect after activating. | Waluigi Pinball makes its home console debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 2 of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'', appearing as the fourth and final course of the [[Turnip Cup]].

The sounds that play when changing positions are no longer present, and the sound effect that plays when the player exits the pinball table is no longer played; however, the latter can be heard twice in the course's introduction cinematic. Like its debut game, the course shares its music with {{classic-link|DS|Wario Stadium}}, making these courses the only courses to share the same music in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. Waluigi Pinball was one of two courses whose music was used for the reveal trailer for Wave 2 of the Booster Course Pass, alongside [[Sky-High Sundae]], not including ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''{{'}}s [[Rainbow Road (Mario Kart 8)|Rainbow Road]], whose music was also used in Wave 1's promotional material. Waluigi Pinball is the only DS course in the Booster Course Pass to not be the second course in its respective cup, as {{classic-link|DS|Shroom Ridge}}, {{classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens}}, and {{classic-link|DS|Mario Circuit}} are the second courses of the [[Lucky Cat Cup]], [[Moon Cup]], and [[Boomerang Cup]] respectively. | The sounds that play when changing positions are no longer present, and the sound effect that plays when the player exits the pinball table is no longer played; however, the latter can be heard twice in the course's introduction cinematic.

*Waluigi Pinball is one of two courses in the ''Mario Kart'' series to have used three different starting line logos, as it used a unique font in ''Mario Kart DS'', the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo in ''Mario Kart 7'', and the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo in both ''Mario Kart Tour'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. Coincidentially, both are from ''Mario Kart DS'' with the other one being [[DS Airship Fortress|Airship Fortress]]. | *Waluigi Pinball is one of two courses in the ''Mario Kart'' series to have used three different starting line logos, as it used a unique font in ''Mario Kart DS'', the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo in ''Mario Kart 7'', and the modern ''Mario Kart'' logo in both ''Mario Kart Tour'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''.
