Rock Rock Mountain reappears in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting with the [[New York Tour]], and in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as the third course of the [[Rock Cup]] in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''.

===Shortcuts===

After the second glider, it is possible to cut through the grass with a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] to reach a wooden ramp, and the first turn is cuttable with the Peach Parasol or the Flower Glider, as they can rise higher in the air. It is also possible to use a Mushroom in the air to skip the windy cliffs at the start.

The course also appears as '''Rock Rock Mountain R''' (reversed) and '''Rock Rock Mountain T''' (with ramps). In the R variant, there are more ramps and trickable elements than would be necessary when making an R variant, which may have to do with this course's lack of an R/T variant. In the T variant, the starting line is now located midway through the forest after the first glide ramp, making this course one of five courses in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to not start in the same location as the original, the others being [[3DS Rainbow Road|3DS Rainbow Road T, 3DS Rainbow Road R/T]], [[Tour Singapore Speedway|Singapore Speedway R/T]], and [[Tour Athens Dash|Athens Dash R/T]]. Additionally, the glide ramp at the end of the climb up the mountain has been removed.

Rock Rock Mountain makes its home console debut in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' downloadable content. It appears as the third course of the [[Rock Cup]], and as such was added in the third wave of the pass. It is based on its design from ''Mario Kart Tour'', only with numerous visual upgrades. The big slope at the end of the track now uses [[anti-gravity]], with [[Spin Boost Pillar|Spin Boost Pillars]] replacing some of the Dash Panels. Due to the different physics of the glider in this game, the first fallen tree can no longer be reached and tricked off of, and thus houses some spectators, though the second one is still accessible. Additionally, more of the pipes blow air in both the beginning cliffside section and the valley section, with some only activating as the race progresses. The final lap version of the music no longer features a unique intro.

This is one of five courses in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' where players can hit the banner (causing it to spin), like [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]], {{classic link|DS|Wario Stadium}}, {{classic link|3DS|Neo Bowser City}} and {{Classic link|Tour|Tokyo Blur}}. It is also the only course with this criterion that is not the first course of its cup.

Rock Rock Mountain is one of two courses to originate from ''Mario Kart 7'' to appear in the third wave of the DLC, alongside {{classic link|3DS|Rainbow Road}}. Since ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' supports  British English, unlike ''Mario Kart Tour'', this course is once again referred to as "Alpine Pass" when the Nintendo Switch console region is set to Europe or Australia/New Zealand, making it one of two courses in the Booster Course Pass to have a different name in British English compared to American English, the other being {{classic link|Wii|DK Summit}} (or {{classic|Wii|DK's Snowboard Cross}}).

Internally, {{Classic|3DS|Rock Rock Mountain}} is referred to as "Cnsw_34", implying it may have originally been intended to be the fourth and last course of the Rock Cup. A video released by Nintendo of America on YouTube erroneously lists this course as such.<ref>Nintendo (November 22, 2022).

*'''Nintendo Switch News app (UK)''': '''''Rock and roll like a pro in Alpine Pass!'''<br>We'd like to present to you a course released as part of the third wave, which is available now: Alpine Pass.<br>This course, laid out between towering mountains, first appeared in the Nintendo 3DS game Mario Kart 7. You'll experience a lot of elevation changes while racing here! The ascending slope section just before the finish line is particularly treacherous, with giant boulders hurtling towards you. If those cause you to lose any time, you can always try using the gusts of air from the pipes criss-crossing the aerial section of the course to make it back!''
