Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love Mario Kart 8!! It's a great party game, and this version is easier to play. When you fall off the course track, it doesn't take as long to get you back in the game. You could be last for the first 2 laps, and still catch up by the 3rd lap. You just never know how the race will go. :)

Family Fun! Love that hubby and I can play with the kids (4 and 7). A little family competition with the kids first console video game has been a great experience.

This game is a port of the original game that appeared on the Nintendo Wii U. In addition to having all the features of the original, this game now includes all the DLC from the original for free. Plus, there's a few new carts and characters to play as. In addition, the Battle Mode is much better than what is was in the Wii U version, featuring unique battle courses over just reusing racing tracks. Although one minor complaint is that there's no new stages, but that's fine since the base game already has so many. This game is perfect for anyone who never got to experience that Wii U version and want a nice racing game with mayhem and chaos at every turn. The online mode is fun as you show your racing skills around the world. Overall, this was a great purchase.

Bought the game for my son. He’s a huge Mario fan! Take every min we can to race and do battle mode against each other

This game is a ton of fun, not only for my kids but for my wife and I too. Brings back a lot of great memories from when I was a kid. Loves the throw backs to earlier courses.

Mario Kart is a staple on Nintendo and thy didn't slack on this one either. This game is super fun.

Best game for switch helps me get through my day and staff was really friendly

From the moment I started playing, I was drawn in by the vibrant graphics and meticulously designed tracks. The attention to detail is remarkable, and every course feels like a unique adventure. The roster of characters is impressive, offering a diverse array of options that cater to different playstyles. One of the standout features is the Battle Mode, which has been revamped and enhanced. It's an exhilarating experience that adds an extra layer of competition and camaraderie when playing with friends. The online multiplayer mode is seamless, allowing me to challenge opponents from around the world or join forces with friends for a memorable gaming session. The controls are smooth and responsive, whether using the Joy-Cons, Pro Controller, or handheld mode. The addition of new items and kart customization options keeps the gameplay fresh and engaging. The game strikes the perfect balance between accessibility for newcomers and depth for experienced players.

This is hands down the best version of Mario kart 8 that you can get. I love bringing this game around with me and playing a game against my friends on the go. The new characters added to this game are also amazing. I bought this on the Wii U and double dipping was no problem for me and this game.

This game is so fun and anyone can pick up this game and play it. You can pick up and play a short game or play a whole tournament. Also, the online play is competitive and make you want to hone your skills to master the tracks.

If you missed out on mario kart on the wii u, this is a must buy. Even if you have played it on the wii u, you have to get it on switch. Plenty of playable characters and challengin tracks. Online have been a great experience as well. So far match pair has been quick and no lag during online play.

Love love love this game . I have always loved Mario but Mario kart is elite.

The latest Mario Kart (technically a re-release) has all the bells and whistles you want from a casual racing game. Graphics look buttery smooth, gameplay is king, and the online works. Don't be expecting a story or anything, just the same old racing and unlocking stuff. Probably not worth full price considering the game is coming up on it's 8th birthday, but Nintendo games RARELY go down in price. Either way, you're gonna have fun with your friends playing on the couch, watch out for the blue shells...

I made the the jump from the Wii to the Switch and I knew I had to have this game. I have been playing Mario Kart since N64; Nintendo continues to amaze me with ingenuity they display when coming out with new twists on the original game. The graphics were so crisp without hurting my eyes. It was nice to not have to unlock characters. (Punishing players for preferring certain aspects of the game was not appreciated. example: time trials) The new battle modes were refreshing and fun! My family loves the additional options to the replay mode. And as usual the stages are a lovely mix of old and new. The old stages have been given new depth because of the updated challenges and modifications. On a final note, they have added smart steering that will keep you from falling off the course. This is good for younger players that may not have the dexterity needed to play. Seasoned players might find it annoying as it may keep you from using shortcuts which require you to go off the course, luckily you can turn it on and off.

I've been playing racing games for a long time, especially Mario Kart ones. This is the best one I've played, which says a lot. It controls very smoothly, the tracks are fun and original. And overall, it's just so fun to play. Me and my wife have a blast, and she doesn't regularly play video games.

This is by far the best iteration of Spider-Man yet. Insomniac knocked it out of the park! They took the best of Spider-Man 2 and then added so much more. The only thing that wore on me was some of the side stuff. Outside of that, it's a game that every PS4 owner should have.

Excellent product, incredible resolution, I loved it!

Love it. Great game THE FREAKING ONLINE its the most fun part of the whole game,you get to race people all over the world or just japanese people either one, i like how you get 4 suggested tracks that you can pick, that makes it quicker for the race to start and is better for mariokart. i absolutely LOVE how you can say messages because its a fun way to let people know your better than them and you can lie about using tilt controls which is fun. you can play against people from your own country.now this is a nice feature to have because they are all from your country which is cool in my opinion. i really love the tournaments they are really fun and some of the names are funny and make you want to join it which is fun so yeah online is amazing,everything else is eh, 5 stars

My daughter really liked it, she said it was a very nice game and it was so much fun! She loved it because the different cars, maps, characters and racing was so fun. Good buy for the price offered by Best Buy during holidays!

Best game ever. Came so quick and easy to buy. Sad they took the movies/games out of the actual store.
