New York Minute returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' via the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' – Booster Course Pass]] DLC. It is a combination of the first three routes, and appears as the first course of the [[Turnip Cup]].

Similar to [[Tour Tokyo Blur#Tokyo Blur 4|Tokyo Blur 4]], the track visits every landmark and location found in the previous three iterations of the New York Minute course on a race divided by two sections instead of two laps. Due to this, it has a different starting grid layout. In the standard layout, the course starts out in front of {{wp|Times Square}}. Racers first travel on the right side of the Y-joint on {{wp|Broadway (Manhattan)|Broadway}} and jump across a parked [[Truck|cargo truck]] to a 270-degree loop around {{wp|Central Park}}. This truck happens to have two trailers, which is a property entirely unique to New York Minute 4 and its variants. After a sharp right turn, racers enter the [[Rockefeller Center]] and take a right reverse curve through the tower's foyer before entering its parking lot. A gradual right turn follows, sending racers back to the front of Times Square for the second section. This time, racers follow the left side of the Y-joint, then take a sharp right. Racers then encounter the many stationary vehicles on the road, including the double cargo truck from before as well as many taxis and two [[dash panel ramp truck]]s (one with a dash panel ramp and one with a [[Glide Ramp|glide ramp]]). After three more sharp rights towards and around the Rockefeller Center, racers reach the finish line, ending the race.

New York Minute reappears in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' via the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] downloadable content. It appears as the first course of the [[Turnip Cup]], making it one of two courses from ''Mario Kart Tour'' to appear in the second wave, alongside {{classic-link|Tour|Sydney Sprint}}. The course has received significant visual upgrades compared to its original appearance; notably, the streets are now slick with water, and the traction on the course is slipperier as a result. The course features numerous more [[Toad (species)|Toads]], [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]], and [[Shy Guy|Shy Guys]] than its ''Tour'' counterpart. Like {{classic-link|Tour|Tokyo Blur}}, this version of New York Minute dedicates each lap to one of the variants in ''Mario Kart Tour''. However, like {{classic-link|Tour|Paris Promenade}}, it also has parts of each route available as split paths. There is a texturing error in the parking garage in this version of the course; the semi truck with the Burning DK logo on it erroneously overlaps the words "Sports" and "Energy". Additionally, despite the bridge in Central Park going over another part of the track, there are no shadows under that part on the ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'' minimap, though there are shadows where the parked taxis are, which takes place over the interior of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. It is currently one of two ''Mario Kart Tour'' city tracks not to rotate the minimap, the other being {{classic-link|Tour|Sydney Sprint}}.

The first lap is based on New York Minute, taking the right exit out of {{wp|Times Square}} and then a 270° left turn through {{wp|Central Park}}, which now contains two [[Goomba]]s. This leads to the [[Rockefeller Center]], through which the original path that heads straight toward {{wp|30 Rockefeller Plaza}} before taking an S-bend to the left is still available. However, there is now an additional option to make an S-bend earlier and end up on a road taken in New York Minute 2, the Glide Ramp of which is now only on the left half and leads to an [[Item Box]] on top of a bus, though there is also a set of traffic lights here that causes racers to spin out and fall to the ground if they collide with it while gliding. A manhole cover appears on the right side of the road here, occasionally spouting [[Water Geyser|water]] that allows for a [[Jump Boost]] to be performed; the geyser is shorter than in ''Tour'', however. Both paths converge and pass the [[Empire State Building]], {{wp|St. Patrick's Cathedral (Midtown Manhattan|St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan}}, and two stationary [[Car (obstacle)|taxi]]s on the way to the finish line (in a similar vain to New York Minute 4T, but in a different arrangement and without ramps).
