Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Tons of tracks, very well polished mario kart experience. Still a ton of fun to play with friends. Would like to see the series have some new developments as it has become a reliable but stale formula.

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

It's Mario Kart. The same one that you played on WiiU, but with more stuff, and portable. If that sounds good, jump on it because it's a beautiful, perfect port. If that sounds like a waste of money, resist buying it.

Bought for my son’s birthday. We’ve had a blast playing family game night Mario Kart tournaments!

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.

Mario kart is lots of fun. Mario kart can be played by all ages too. I highly recommend this game. You can play it competitively or just for pure fun. The graphics are really cool too.

Lots of fun for the family. Made my little brother come out of his room.

This is a very nostalgic game to play with family and friends! I love racing against my fiance

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

I have Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U but decided to re-buy for the switch. I'm really glad I did because it's the perfect game for the Switch. I love being able to play with my friends on the go or even online at home.

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!

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!

I honestly wasn't sure if I would like Mario Kart for my Switch because I was bad at it on Super Nintendo and Wii, but this game is awesome! The graphics rock, the tracks rock, even the karts rock!

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

This is the best Mario Kart game so far, as it collects all the DLC from Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U, and it adds the feature of carrying 2 items during a race rather than just one at a time. The game features tons of levels from previous Mario Kart games. The game can be played with a single joycon, double joycons, or the pro controller, and all of them can choose if they'd like to use motion controls. If desired, there are options to have the game help a racer stay on the track, and there is an option to have the kart automatically drive forward so the button does not have to be held down the whole race. Overall, these options help young or inexperienced players to get used to the game.

This is one of the games (Smash Bros Ultimate is the other) that sold me on buying a Switch. My buddies brought theirs over for a night of playing this, and being a huge fan of some previous Mario Karts, I was instantly hooked. Beautiful game with really polished gameplay and controls! The battle mode is exactly what I wanted and the races are fun and well varied. The vast map selection and character roster combined with the gorgeous graphics and excellent gameplay make for incredible fun. You can invite some friends over and spend an entire evening playing this game. Really gives me that nostalgic feeling of when I was a kid playing the original, but with all of the modern updates!

We (figuratively) wore out the original Mariokart 8 on Wii U, and now that new characters, modes, and vehicles have been added in a portable package, this is a no brainer. Do yourself a favor and pick this one up!

My 10 year old son loves this game, however, I would suggest getting it if you have more than one kid or if they have friends to play with. The Mario odessey has more quests and this one is more racing. Fun!

Alot of fun and entertaining game recommended this game for all ages
