The course contains various gardening elements such as ornamental trees and flowers. Some parts of the road are decorated by trellised arches, like the one standing after the starting line that supports the "Mario Kart" banner on it. The track also includes a pond with a circular terrace that has a large garden topiary of [[Mario]] in the center. This is the only part of the track that is not protected by fences and falling into the pond causes [[Lakitu]] to put the player back on the track. The rest of the track, however, is protected by fences and tall hedges serving as walls. This Mario topiary resembles his design from ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', which in turn makes it resemble the Mario ice sculpture in {{classic-link|N64|Frappe Snowland}}. | The course contains various gardening elements such as ornamental trees and flowers.

Peach Gardens returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the third wave of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]. It is the second course of the [[Moon Cup]]. First shown in the September 2022 Nintendo Direct, it was one of two courses announced first for the wave, alongside [[Merry Mountain]]. However, it would be announced for and debut in ''Mario Kart Tour'' before the release of Wave 3, giving this course the distinction of having the shortest gap between classic course appearances with only a one week gap, beating the previous course with this distinction, {{classic-link|GBA|Sky Garden}}, by seventeen days, until the release of {{classic-link|DS|Mario Circuit}}, which debuted 19 hours apart between ''Mario Kart Tour'' and the Booster Course Pass. | Peach Gardens returns in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the third wave of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''.

The course takes its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour'', with a comprehensive visual overhaul. The behavior of the Chain Chomps has been reverted to their original roaming state, and the hot-air balloons have been removed, as well as the added ramps from ''Mario Kart Wii'' and ''Mario Kart Tour''. Barriers have been added to the loop, preventing players from accessing the longer portion. The flower patch on the turn after the second stone bridge has been made slightly bigger, thus bringing the width of the turn and the shortcut itself more in line with games prior to ''Mario Kart Tour''. The [[Monty Mole]]s also now use the behavior seen in ''Mario Kart Tour''{{'}}s DS Peach Gardens R as well as ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''{{'}}s {{classic-link|Wii|Moo Moo Meadows}} and {{classic-link|SNES|Donut Plains 3}}, digging through the ground and occasionally popping out, as opposed to popping out from a stationary hole, although players are able to trick off of the dirt the Monty Moles create. Toad, Yoshi, and Shy Guy spectators have been added across to the course, found sitting on garden sets and park benches. | The course takes its appearance from ''Mario Kart Tour'', with a comprehensive visual overhaul.
