Between this straightaway and the end of the track, half-pipes line both sides of the track. In the middle of the track, racers encounter two wide dash panels followed by two large drifts of deep snow. To avoid the drifts, racers must either swerve around them or use the half-pipes. On both sides of each snow drift, above the half-pipes, is a set of Item Boxes, further incentivizing the use of the half-pipes. There are also [[Mii]]s watching the racers perform tricks. However, this area also contains three Shy Guy snowboarders as obstacles. Each one goes back and forth across the width of the track, and hitting one will make the player spin out. One is between the two snow drifts, and two are close together right after the second snow drift. After this section, racers must make one last right turn before the half-pipes end, the track narrows one last time, and racers reach the [[Finish line (object)|finish line]].

There are three Item Boxes underneath the S-bend section that can be seen through hacking or with a glitch, but they cannot be obtained without hacking as Lakitu takes the player back to the track before the Item Boxes can be reached.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7vzOsysXUk</ref><ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGSSnckmZCQ</ref>

DK Summit returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of Wave 4 of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''. It appears as the third course of the [[Fruit Cup]]. Its design is based on its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour'', only with significant visual upgrades and modifications. For example, the jumbotron at the end of the halfpipe has been brought back to the course after it was removed in ''Tour'', now sporting a redesigned look. The [[Barrel Cannon]] is now shown to have visible frost on itself. The giant snowboarding Donkey Kong statue is still present, but it is now made out of wood instead of stone. The sky and background for the course has been slightly desaturated to appear slightly less blue compared to how it looks in ''Tour''. The mountains in the background have also been redone to appear less cartoony and less two-dimensional, with more depth and shading applied to them; they are also a darker shade of brown, like in ''Wii''. On the mogul field, a red fence with [[Toad (species)|Toads]] as spectators has been added, beneath the Donkey Kong statue. Coins on the downhill section have moved to all be closer together.<ref>任天堂ホームページ (March 2, 2023). [https://youtu.be/XfKvMaS6g10 Wii DKスノーボードクロス]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved March 3, 2023.</ref> Additional Shy Guy Snowboarders can be seen sliding downhill in the background. The falling snow returns, although the fog mechanic does not. The course map has also been flipped 180°, so that the starting line is at the top of the map like in ''Mario Kart Wii''. In addition, the shortcuts over the chasms between the mogul fields and the halfpipe can be performed once again. The music for the course now features more loud, low-pitched bass synths, notably during the opening of the song.

Internally, DK Summit is referred to as "Cnsw_42", implying it may have originally been intended to be the second course of the Fruit Cup.
