Athens Dash returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 5 of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC. It appears as the first course of the [[Feather Cup]]. It has received significant visual upgrades compared to its appearance in ''Mario Kart Tour''. The cannon from the first route has been replaced with a normal Glide Ramp. As Athens Dash 3 had yet to be released when this course was added to the Booster Course Pass, Athens Dash is one of the two ''Tour'' city courses alongside [[Tour Sydney Sprint|Sydney Sprint]] to be added to the pass before all three variants were released. The course features a second starting line (along the Athens Dash 3 route), making it the second course in the ''Mario Kart'' series to open a cup and use sections (after [[Wuhu Loop]] in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'') and the third course in the series to feature both laps and sections, the first two being {{classic-link|N64|Kalimari Desert}} and {{classic-link|Tour|Singapore Speedway}} (though unlike those courses, the section replaces the second lap rather than the third). It is used to begin the second lap, while the third and final lap starts in reverse along the Athens Dash 2 route.<ref>@NintendoAmerica (July 7, 2023).
