Rock Rock Mountain makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[New York Tour]]. Rock Rock Mountain is the only ''Mario Kart 7'' course introduced in the New York Tour to not be from that game's [[Mushroom Cup]]. Here, the course received some changes. The mountain is now a tan color, instead of a dark gray. The banner for the starting line has also been changed, and now includes two log supports holding it up, instead of poles. Furthermore, the sign itself now features black and white checkers, rather than the turquoise and light yellow checkers from before. The ramp inside the second turn was removed. The glide ramp after the cave now resembles the trick variation ramps. | Rock Rock Mountain makes its classic course debut in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', starting with the [[New York Tour]].

The course also appears as '''Rock Rock Mountain R''' (reversed) and '''Rock Rock Mountain T''' (with ramps). In the R variant, there are more ramps and trickable elements than would be necessary when making an R variant, which may have to do with this course's lack of an R/T variant. In the T variant, the starting line is now located midway through the forest after the first glide ramp, making this course one of five courses in ''Mario Kart Tour'' to not start in the same location as the original, the others being [[3DS Rainbow Road|3DS Rainbow Road T, 3DS Rainbow Road R/T]], [[Tour Singapore Speedway|Singapore Speedway R/T]], and [[Tour Athens Dash|Athens Dash R/T]]. Additionally, the glide ramp at the end of the climb up the mountain has been removed. | |||
It is the only course among those that have appeared since launch | It is one of two tracks to never receive an R/T variant, alongside [[GBA Bowser's Castle 4]]. It is also the only 3DS course with this distinction, as well as the only course among those that have appeared since launch. | ||

Rock Rock Mountain returns again in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the [[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]] downloadable content. It appears as the third course of the [[Rock Cup]], and as such was added in the third wave of the pass. It is based on its design from ''Mario Kart Tour'', only with numerous visual upgrades. The big slope at the end of the track now uses [[anti-gravity]], with [[Spin Boost Pillar|Spin Boost Pillars]] replacing some of the Dash Panels. Due to the different physics of the glider in this game, the first fallen tree can no longer be reached and tricked off of, and thus houses some spectators, though the second one is still accessible. Additionally, more of the pipes blow air in both the beginning cliffside section and the valley section, with some only activating as the race progresses. The final lap version of the music no longer features a unique intro. | Rock Rock Mountain returns again in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'' as part of the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' downloadable content.
