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.

This game was purchased for Christmas. My nephew is totally crazy anything Mario. He has really enjoyed it.

Mario kart is essentially the reason I wanted to buy a Switch. If this were the only game available on the console, I would probably still buy it because this simply does not get old. Great to break out when you have visitor, everybody loves playing!

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!

For any Mario fan same great fun and with friends even more fun LOL . Game sells itself can never go wrong with Mario kart just gets better and better with the graphics

Graphics are excellent. Motion sensitivity of switch joycons is much better than the wiiu remotes. My kids ages 9 to 12 love playing this game and I enjoy it as well. We like the compact design and portability.

I had to get the Switch just for this game! Great family game too that both my kids and I enjoy playing together.

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 :)

Great game! Easy to use and fun to play with family!

Classic gamer that loves Mario Kart and this one doesn’t disappoint! New characters and vehicles and many more new tracks to explore!

Nice graphics and easy play mode for the kids. Defintely a good purchase

Great game highly recommend to anyone who's looking to spend hours on having fun mixed with frustration (but in the good way)

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!

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

Best Mario Kart since the Nintendo 64. Excellent tracks, characters and music. So much fun!!

Yes, It's not much different in the sense it's the same levels and such but it looks stunning in better graphics! The addition of the new characters is a bit of a incentive but honestly this is well worth the double dip.

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!

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.

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.

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.
