Sky Garden makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]'' as the third course of the [[Lightning Cup]], holding the distinction of being the only track to appear in the same cup twice (not counting the Extra Tracks in ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''). There is an added shortcut in this version. After going across the small boost ramp leading to an item, the player must use a [[Dash Mushroom|Mushroom]] and hop at the exact right second to get across the large gap. The shortcut can also be done with a well placed jump over the large gap if the player is using a high acceleration kart without a Mushroom, but is very difficult to perform. This is possible in the original game, but the player will fall right over the other side no matter what. Additionally, the first shortcut has an added longer cloud in front of the original one at the gap's end. The staff ghost is [[Princess Daisy|Daisy]].

Sky Garden returns in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Sky Tour]]. It is the second classic course in ''Mario Kart Tour'' (the first being [[GBA Sunset Wilds]]) to receive a new arrangement for its music and currently one of two GBA courses with a previous arrangement to receive a new arrangement in the game, the other being [[GBA Peach Circuit|Peach Circuit]] (and by extension, [[GBA Luigi Circuit]]). There are now two blimps; both use the appearance from [[Tour Singapore Speedway|Singapore Speedway]]. The giant beanstalks that previously only appeared in the background are now closer to the course, and one of them features a red [[Toad House]] on a cloud.

Sky Garden returns in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. It is the third course of the [[Lucky Cat Cup]] released in the first wave in March 2022, nearly a month after its inclusion in ''Mario Kart Tour'', though it was revealed in gameplay form in a February 2022 Nintendo Direct prior to its addition to said game. It derives its appearance and layout from ''Mario Kart Tour'', except with orange stone tiles instead of gray and an animated cloud texture. Unlike ''Tour,'' the leaf shortcut is reflected on the minimap. Many mushroom trampolines can be seen growing from underneath the course, and several airships from [[Cloudtop Cruise]] appear in the background instead of the blimps. [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s appear as spectators on the course.

Like many other classic courses in ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', the music has been redone with live instruments, featuring a saxophone, piano, and electric guitar lead instead of the original song's synths.

As with all other courses from Wave 1, this course's icon and lighting were adjusted slightly in the 2.1.0 update.

==Track layout comparisons==
The ''Mario Kart Tour'' (and ''8 Deluxe'') layout is slightly narrowed in the X-axis compared to ''Mario Kart: Super Circuit'' (and ''DS''). The first sections through to the main jump sections are similar; the shortcut at turn 2 no longer needs a Mushroom in ''Tour'', the lead-in turn 4 into the 270° turn 5 is removed in ''Tour'' (resulting in a single turn 4), while the bounce mushroom in ''Tour'' correspond to the jump area in ''Super Circuit''.
At this point, the layouts diverge significantly. ''Tour'' skips ''Super Circuit''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s turn 7 and 8 entirely, while ''Super Circuit''{{'}}s turns 9 and 10 are merged into the much shorter turn 5. The following short left lead-in roughly correspond between turn 11 in ''Super Circuit'' and turn 6 in ''Tour'', and the following U-turn is turn 12 in ''Super Circuit'' and turn 7 in ''Tour'', although the lead-in is much shorter in ''Tour''.
The lower section is heavily simplified in ''Tour'', where the U-turn turn 8 covers what in ''Super Circuit'' is turns 13 through 17. ''Super Circuit''{{'}}s cloud shortcut that skips turn 13, is replaced in ''Tour'' by a cloud shortcut preceding turn 8. The final left jump in ''Super Circuit'' is replaced by a glider section in ''Tour''.
