Customer Ratings & Reviews

been a fan of the mario kart series since the super nintendo days. really good graphics, great game to play with friends. With throwback levels remade for the switch, it is really fun for even first time mario kart players. Lots of characters to choose from and many vehicles to choose as well.

This game has really wild and fun courses, a lot of characters and cars to choose from, and great multiplayer.

This game is a re-master of the Wii U version of the same game. The switch version has 1080p graphics and looks great on the TV and on the handheld screen. The game includes all the DLC from the Wii U version. Multiplayer is a lot of fun. Is great to be able to play this game on the go on the Switch.

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.

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. :)

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.

If you somehow missed MK8 on the Wii-U, this is absolutely a must own. All of that zany, fast moving fun is here, making it the best MK game of the series! If you already own it, I can still recommend it if you have the money to burn, as it adds the DLC and additional content, and it's portable!

It is a classic and always one of my favorites to play. I would definitely pick it up if I were you.

The best MarioKart game released to date. Love this game!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is better than the original. Nintendo has taken an already amazing game and added new features to accentuate its already amazing game and removed issues that existed with the original. A new boost drift, redesigned battle mode, and all characters unlocked name just a few. Amazing!

Great game showed up as described works as it should

Is a very fun game. The whole family enjoyed. We have so much fun

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.

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.

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.

I love this game. I have been able to crank out tons of hours with it alone and with friends.

Really happy with this purchase. Beautiful graphics, super fun to play with family and friends.

Awesome game love it. The different levels are all exciting and the acess to expand on the game is a great benfit too. It does bring back nastolga if you have been playing mario kart for awhile.

Loved this game. Play all the time with our family.
