Amsterdam Drift returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 4 of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'', where it appears as the first course of the [[Fruit Cup]]. It is an expanded and combined version of the three routes for the course in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', and has received significant visual upgrades compared to how it appeared originally. The music has been shortened by four measures; a jaw harp, bells, and whistling have been added to the instrumentation, and the vocals play for an additional bar in the portion preceding the loop. The {{wp|Canals of Amsterdam|canal}} section is much more saturated than before, and is now a vibrant blue hue when underwater. The water itself is also more transparent when viewed from the surface. The boat above the canals now faces the opposite direction to accommodate for the route now being done backwards. The minimap has also been rotated 90° counterclockwise.

The course begins with the first route for the course, with racers starting on the {{wp|Damrak}} street, driving past the {{wp|Amsterdam Centraal station|Amsterdam Centraal Station}} and the {{wp|Montelbaanstoren}} before turning left and gliding to the {{wp|Zaanse Schans}}. Racers pass the windmills before eventually turning back into the city, passing a tram as they do. The trams knock over racers that hit them, much like the [[Train (obstacle)|train]]s in [[Super Bell Subway]] and {{classic link|N64|Kalimari Desert}}. After a sharp left turn, they reach lap 2.

The second lap is based on Amsterdam Drift 2R. The fork in the canal now only uses the road that goes straight ahead, leaving the other way blocked off (similar to Amsterdam Drift 2R/T); however, racers can still access a boat located atop the canal. Racers maneuver in between Jet Pipes before coming out of the water and reaching lap 3.

The third and final lap begins with Amsterdam Drift 3R; racers turn right twice and pass another tram, before following a road connecting the first and third routes (which is unused in ''Tour''). Racers are then lead to Amsterdam Drift 3, facing the route's regular direction, as they enter the canals again. Players come out at the tulip fields, avoiding [[Piranha Plant]]s until they drive under the {{wp|Rijksmuseum}} and the {{wp|Bloemenmarkt}}. After a few sharp turns, racers finally reach the finishing line.

Unlike most other courses using arrow fields, Amsterdam Drift can be driven in reverse for a time without [[Lakitu (Mario Kart referee)|Lakitu]] picking up drivers, with the third lap route being used; however, unlike {{classic|N64|Kalimari Desert}} and {{classic link|Tour| London Loop}}, this does not trigger any unusual behavior.

{{classic|Tour|Amsterdam Drift}} is one of three courses from ''Mario Kart Tour'' to appear in the fourth wave, alongside {{classic link|Tour|Bangkok Rush}} and {{classic link|Tour|Singapore Speedway}}. It is the only one that is not in the [[Boomerang Cup]]. Amsterdam Drift's appearance in the ''Booster Course Pass'' also makes it one of five courses in the ''Mario Kart'' series that allow racers to run into other racers going in the opposite direction, the others being [[GCN Luigi Circuit|Luigi Circuit]] in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'', {{Classic link|DS|Peach Gardens}}, {{Classic link|Tour|Paris Promenade}}, and {{classic link|Tour|Rome Avanti}}.
