Mario Kart 8 Deluxe:
Looks better (1080p vs 720p)
Runs better (60FPS vs 59FPS)
Has almost twice the tracks (as it packs in the DLC)
Has more racers (even beyond DLC)
Improves the racing systems (Two items at a time, ultra mini turbo) and eliminates fire hoppping!
Adds a proper battle mode.
Adds portability.

I think Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a substantial upgrade, despite it leaving most of the core racing mechanics mostly unchanged.
That is only if we include the merging of the DLC from Mario Kart 8 into the base game with Deluxe.

Here is a list of changes in Ultra Sun and Moon

Main Game:
- Regional dex was expanded, as well as Island Scan
- New UI, new music themes
- Story has added scenes with some new characters, but the biggest changes are when fighting the main antagonist and when you catch the box legend. Rest of the story is similar.
- Totems got changed. A couple of new trials + Totem. Fights are considered bit more difficult than SM. The E4 is slightly altered as well.
- Mantine Surfing. This mini-game gives BP for Move Tutors. It's available pretty early.
- Photo Club lets you make pics with your Trainer + Pokemon.
- Some new clothing outfits.


Post-game:
- Move tutors (and new level up and egg moves, but this is standard for a third/definitive version)
- Looker sidequest was replaced with the Rainbow Rocket one.
- Level grinding got easier.
- All SM Ultra Beasts can be caught, some in multiples. They have their own special locations in Ultra Space.
- A bunch of legends can be caught.
- The UB + legends are accessed through a new mini-game.
- New facility called the Battle Agency.
- Collect stickers to get a Totem-sized Pokemon
