 Waluigi Pinball makes its [[classic course]] debut in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' as the fourth and final course of the [[Banana Cup]], despite Waluigi not being playable in the game. The layout remained the same, but with enhanced graphics and the Dash Panels recolored to orange. The flashing starting banner now displays the classic ''Mario Kart'' logo.

 Waluigi Pinball returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' beginning in the [[Halloween Tour (2019)|2019 Halloween Tour]]. As of the [[Anniversary Tour (2023)|2023 Anniversary Tour]], the course has appeared in thirty separate tours, the most out of any course in the game (not including courses with multiple routes). It featured a major visual upgrade. The image of Waluigi is now illustrated 2D, and his head now rotates from left to right and is surrounded by several brightly-lit buildings and large stacks of coins, the slots below them now have a Las Vegas theme to them, the bumpers have a brighter color, the flashing starting banner with the ''Mario Kart'' logo now uses the modern one albeit without the flashing red lights, and there is a new sign after the pinball launcher with Waluigi's art from ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]'', the track name, a metal ball, two flippers, and scrolling text below that reads "Waluigi No. 1", while the Waluigi banner at the start of the pinball machine was moved to the entrance of the pinball table. The rotating bumpers now move far more slowly. Due to the second lap being the final lap, the jingle that plays when entering the second lap in previous appearances is no longer present.

+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.

 ==Trivia==
 *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]].
-*The [[Nintendo Switch]]'s News app's ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' Channel in the United Kingdom never made a post highlighting {{classic|DS|Waluigi Pinball}} or {{classic-link|N64|Kalimari Desert}}, unlike every other course in the first five waves of the Booster Course Pass.
+*The [[Nintendo Switch]]'s News app's ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' Channel in the United Kingdom never made a post highlighting {{classic|DS|Waluigi Pinball}} or {{classic-link|N64|Kalimari Desert}}, unlike every other course in the ''Booster Course Pass'' (though the post for {{classic-link|Tour|Vancouver Velocity}} was deleted after being made).
 *The earliest known version of Waluigi Pinball found in the [[List of Mario Kart DS pre-release and unused content#Unreleased courses|game files]] of ''Mario Kart DS'' is known internally as luigi_course, implying that it would have been themed after [[Luigi]].
