In ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', two Deku Babas appear as enemies in a section of [[Hyrule Circuit]], after the exit of [[zeldawiki:Hyrule Castle|Hyrule Castle]] near the end of the course. They are designed after their appearance in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]'', and they behave the same as Piranha Plants do in {{classic-link|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}}. If a racer drives near a Deku Baba, it lunges at them, attempting to bite them, knocking them over should they be hit. The Deku Babas periodically switch between four different positions.
