Deku Babas are a crossover species from The Legend of Zelda series. The only time they appear in the Super Mario franchise is as an obstacle in Mario Kart 8's The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8 downloadable pack and the base game of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Here, two Deku Babas appear as enemies in a section of Hyrule Circuit, after the exit of Hyrule Castle near the end of the course; they are designed after their appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and they behave the same as Piranha Plants do in 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.

Deku Babas are a Venus flytrap-like species, like Piranha Plants, although Shigeru Miyamoto has once mentioned that Deku Babas were designed by crossing a dog with the Super Mario 64 enemy clam;[1] their original behavior of lunging while being restrained by their stem is highly similar to Chain Chomps, also inspired by dogs, while their original model's head shape resembles a more cylindrical, front-tapering version of the clam's model.
