Customer Ratings & Reviews

This version of Mario Kart 8 is the definitive edition. It's loaded with tracks and characters with still some things to unlock and customize. Best of all, battle mode is back! This is a must own for any Nintendo Switch owners.

This is my second time buying this game - had it and the expansion on the Wii U. Still a beautiful game years after it was released and a great way to engage with my young son and enter him into the world of Mario. Controls are easy - you can have really basic controls if you use the joycons or more advanced if you use the pro controller or the included adapter that turns 2 joycons into a standard controller. The game’s online functionality keeps your kids safe from anyone acting inappropriately but does not protect them from bad drivers. Overall a wholesome recommendation!

Whilst I can understand why Wii U users may feel disappointed looking at the price of this game, in my opinion it's still worth it. The game is great and still extremely fun on the Switch. It's a must have for the Switch.

If you have never played the original Mario kart 8, then this deluxe version is the version for you, as it has all characters, including the Wii U DLC, and new characters from the start, plus a brand new battle mode. As someone who had already played Mario kart 8 extensively, Mario kart 8 deluxe is fun, but doesn't add much else to the table from the original. I only put in 25 hours before it's novelty wore off. I can't say it's a must buy for people who already played through the original Wii U version.

Simpky Fantastic game. Lots of fun playing online or single/multi player with family

Really fun game, my nieces love it. I really recommend. The grapgics are also good.

All Mario games are great, but this one really takes me back to my childhood. I love the addition of characters.

Its Mario Kart 8 on the go! How can you go wrong with this? It is basically the Wii U version with all the DLC and a few very minor changes. I hope they get us some extra DLC, but its worth the money just to have it portable!

Love it. It has a ton of tracks and is fun to play with friends.

I get all my Switch games at Best Buy. Mario cart is a game that I've always enjoyed while playing with family and friends. This one has a lot of characters and stages. All the previous DLCs. Also, new fun battle modes :)

Love it, was always a huge fan of the 64 Mario Kart and was able to play the old courses.

Fun game - can't go wrong with Mario! Fun online!!

My granddaughter loves this game, I like that you can play on smart tv also

Mario Kart 8 is a great game to play alone or with friends. You will never get bored of its different game modes when you play by yourself and its fun to compete with friends. Its also great for children and family

Amazing graphics. Very cute charm. And plenty of characters and race categories to choose from this is an absolute must own. I play this with my 4 year old daughter and she loves it.

Great game! It has a lot of tracks, characters, and vehicles to choose from. You can customize the different karts/cars. Just a lot of fun in every way imaginable, even more fun with friends and family.

Haven't bought the last couple Mario Karts just becasue we haven't bought a Nintendo console in a few years since we've been focusing on xbox and pc gaming in the house. This game brings back memories of previous versions with a new fit and finish that makes it our go-to game on the switch so far. Like I said - can't compare it to the Wii version but I've heard it's similar. It's got great graphics, smooth gameplay, all of the characters you remember and updated versions of tracks from previous incarnations of Mario Kart from older consoles. All of the characters and levels are unlocked out of the box with only the vehicle modifications needing to be unlocked along the way. Great way to kill some time and super enjoyable overall. Great game.

Always loved playing Mario Kart and other Mario Bros games as a kid. Great connection and graphics.

I didn't have the WiiU so this was my first try at this version. It looks great and is so much fun. I play with my 6 and 8 year old and we have a great time going head to head and trying to win as a team. Highly recommend.

Awesome game easy to play, great for younger kids .
