Customer Ratings & Reviews

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is an astounding, fast paced, great game for anyone who loves to kart race. Like who hasn’t heard of Mario Kart? Yes, it’s 4 players, and yes you need 4 joy-cons, so no other controllers would be compatible. Only JOY-CONS.

I LOVE Mario Kart, and have since playing on the Wii (I don't go that far back with Nintendo). Maps are fun, lots of customization options for just the right driving experience. Lots of challenge to keep you coming back. Multiplayer is awesome.

It’s a great game, thank you for allowing me to review this and share my thoughts

Games my kids love, i also love it. If you have kids definitely recommend it.

Great game for the family. Son loves it and the wife isn't a gamer but she enjoys playing it.

Bought this game for my nephews 5th birthday, as he just got a new Nintendo switch and it is by far his favorite game. For his age, this game is by far easier than others. Also fun for the adults to grab and play!

My kids can't get enough of this game! Why did we buy all of the other games?

Best fun game for family and friends! Like the new racing maps!

Bought this game to play as a family, would recommend to anyone whos stuck inside because of bad weather or need to pass some time

One of the greatest games of all time. I play this with friends back east, with my girlfriend at home, and even just against the computer, always an awesome time!

This is my favorite group video game that is on the market, even when you don't win it is fun.

I've always loved Mario Kart since it first came out on Nintendo 64. Im so glad they remastered it for the Switch

Mario Kart 8 is the best Mario Kart to date! The customization options available are endless along with a character roster big enough for everyone. This game took all of the things that made Mario Kart great and made them even better! This is hands down a must buy for every Nintendo Switch owner!

My son purchased this several months ago. He received a Switch for Christmas and we used to play this game on the regular Wii together. It's a great game and Nintendo makes it easy to purchase the digital copy.

Great game plays at a solid 60 fps 99% of the time and tons of tracks to play in just the base game and you can buy additional tracks if those old ones bore you.

As a child of the 80's and early 90's, I LOVE Mario Kart games. And this one is no different, with one glaring flaw. The "rubber banding" of the competitors is outrageous. Maybe it's the "fog of time" clouding my memory, but I don't recall the programming being so egregious. If you are in first place, you aren't going to get anything useful from a cube, only bananas or coins. Other than that, the family really enjoys this game.

Our grandkids have this game and play it all the time. So, when we bought a Switch, we bought this game. We love being able to play together, especially with our grandkids. And, there's more to this game than just picking a driver and car, if you're up against the parents of the grandkids! ;-)

Got this for my girlfriend and I to play because she just got a switch. Loads of fun just wish they have horizontal screens for when you play instead of side by side vertical but you get used to it. Great game totally worth buying and holds value because its Nintendo.

My granddaughter loves this game sometimes it's very hard to tear away from it when it's time to go to bed

As someone who's had fond memories of playing with friends on Mario Kart 64, this game is fantastic. Definitely sets the bar for the Mario Kart franchise. Has an excellent array of both new and old maps from the series. It boasts a fairly large character roster and the ability to customize karts to a (somewhat limited) degree. It can definitely get difficult at the higher levels against the cpu for those of you looking for a challenge. But for kids or newcomers who may find it daunting to control, the game has handicap options that will literally steer the kart for you, preventing you from driving off the map, and auto accelerating for you. So for those parents who would like to play with their kids, its an amazing game. It does have online races, but as I usually play with a group of friends on the couch, I can't attest to how that functions. However, as far as games go on the Switch, this is a great testament to the quality and polish Nintendo is capable of.
