Customer Ratings & Reviews

Perfect game to play with family and friends! Never get tired of playing against each other.

Mario Kart 8 is just as fun handheld as it is docked. I also like that one controller can be split for two people to play.

I’d gve it a 3.5/5 honestly I was super excited about this game after purchasing my switch, but upon playing it, I was left disappointed. I think part of the reason is that this game is really tailored towards a much younger audience. I’m 28 and grew up loving Mario Kart, my friends and I would play it in college on the Wii, it was still a great time. But there’s some noticeable changes with the latest version. First, nintendo opted to make a setting called “smart steering” automatic. For those who don’t know what smart steering is, think of it as bumpers when you bowl. You can fall off the course and your kart will override your controls to help you. I don’t disagree with having this feature for a younger audience, but don’t make it an auto setting. Second, a lot of the maps are designed to bedazzle and wow you, but i thought many lacked substance and detail that made me love so many of the courses of earlier time. Lastly, online play is often gruelingly slow. I have a 3DS as well, and the play on there is faster by a significant margin. I’m gonna keep playing, but as of now, my opinion of this game is luke warm

Tons of levels, and just like the old mario cart. We love playing it as a family!

Great game. Equally fun for my 5 year old son as it is for me. Many hours of family fun.

Great game fun to play with good for children's 5 and up.

I bought a Switch just for this game, and I don't regret a penny or second. It is the best Mario Kart game to date, and clearly a must.

Fun game for everyone to enjoy. We’ve come a long way since the first MK!

This is by far the best game I have played from my childhood in a long time. Very true to original with awesome upgrades!! Great buy!!!

This is the definitive mario kart game. If you have reservations let me ease your worries. Steer assist makes it fun for my 5 year old.

My four kids love this game and they can all play together

Super fun game. My daughter loves it. She wants to play this game all the time.

This game is one of the main reasons I got a switch. It is extremely fun and the port over to the switch was done very well.

This game is my kids favorite game on the switch. They love all the different games available and the fact they are multi player.

One of, if not the best MARIO Kart game. If you have it on Wii U with the dlc there is not much new here but still great on the switch.

Plain and simple. Great game for all ages. Many people can play plus there’s an online option which only costs $20/ year

Love all of the tracks. Family game nights are a blast. It is easy to play on line with people from all over the world.

Mario Kart 8 is a continuation of the "fun"tantastic game saga we have grown to love for its wacky characters, mild cartoon violence, high octane fueled competition, and overall family friendly entertainment value. Nintendo Switch owners must have Nintendo's Mario Kart 8 in their game collection!

Fantastic product from start to finish. The visuals, music, and gameplay are at the top of the series. Highly recommended.

This is a great family bonding game. Lots of fun! Kids and I have a great time competing against each other.
