Great game my 5 year old son loves the game. Easy for him to play and learn

Mario Kart 8 is one of the best racing games around and this Switch version improves upon it. The added battle mode is something that should have been in the original and is as hectic and addictive as ever. However, the biggest improvement to me is being able to play the game on the go. Playing solo on the Switch's gorgeous screen is awesome but being able to pull the Joycons out and have a quick multiplayer session has been a dream come true. It's always been a bummer on past portable games that they required both people to have the system in order to have multiplayer but the Switch's design has now allowed you to past the time with a friend or friendly stranger. And what better pick up and play game is there to share than Mario Kart? Definitely recommended.

This game's crazy fun racing mayhem, and the new auto-steering/acceleration makes it even easier for newcomers to pick it up. It's better with friends, but if you're self-motivated, there's plenty to do on your own too.

I didn't think I was going to get this one - I already have the Wii U version. But my son really really wanted it and he was right; this is the definitive Mario Kart that should be a part of everyone's Switch collection.

Mariokart has been part of my life since I was a kid and even now it’s always fun to play with friends and family even when it gets competitive lol. Definitely recommend as a family game

It's simply the best Mario Kart made thus far. If you like any of the previous entries, you will love Mario Kart 8! Add Switch portability, and you've got yourself a great time anywhere you want to play!

Very fun multi player game. Best feature is changing different maps and characters. Love the part as one start collecting coins its more fun using them

Played Mario Kart on the wii and this game is a continuation of the wii version, but with MUCH better graphics. We also start with more tracks to play and more options to customize the vehicle you race with.

Love Mario cart! This game is a classic. I wish it had all the original races, but the new races are still fantastic. One of my all time favorite games to play.

Terrific game! Love this game on the 64 when my kids are small and you can play it with them when they’re all grown

This is an update of the very excellent mario kart 8 from the Wii U. If you loved it on the wii u then you'll love it on the switch. Excellent graphics, tons of tracks, updated battle mode, and lots of fun for everyone.

Fun party game! I just wish nearly everything wasn’t already unlocked. There’s essentially no story and no motivation to keep grinding in the game!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch is the kind of game that brings people together from kids to adults. Parents can play this game with their kids, kids can play with their friends, and adults can play it with their family. Tip- You might already know this but when you're racing and you drift at a corner long enough your exhaust sparks and ignites a speed boost. I wish someone told me that a long time ago. Also, if you play with two or more players it only recognizes one joy con per person. Please correct me if they changed it. CONCLUSION- Racing against friends is fun and the best mode is battle where you have to pop the other players balloons to win hitting them with red, green, blue shells and more.

I owned Mario cart 8 on Wii U and all the dlc. I love the new battle modes and the splatoon map and characters. I like being able to take this anywhere and challenge others. There's no other racing game as fun as this.

Fun game for all ages, some of the courses need to be paid for as you get further into the game.

Way better steering than the previous versions. Easy for kids fun for adults. Love that all the characters and tracks are unlocked from the start.

It’s a really fun game to play with others. You can choose different characters.

Many have said this is easily the best Mario Kart ever. I won't argue with that and I can't think of any major flaws in the game but I'm undecided if it is my personal favorite. This is an expanded version of the Wii U title but a) not that many people bought the Wii U and b) this version is clearly better. It has battle mode (absent in the Wii U version) and is better balanced then the previous iteration. What really amazes me, and this is a small thing but the two player mode split screen is vertical yet you never feel that you can't see enough of the track ahead of you. I guess the only gripe I might have is that it's hard to play using a single joy con but you can buy more controllers to solve that. I highly recommend this game.

This was a gift for my gamer, my husband, he has so much fun playing this game to which my other gamer my oldest daughter plays as well. It’s very cute and fun.

A great mix of new and classic Mario Kart! Some old school tracks redone for the Switch mixed with brand new tracks and characters. Gameplay is fun for any age. Definitely worth getting for the Switch!
