Customer Ratings & Reviews

Mario Kart 8 is the best kart racing game Nintendo has made in a long time. It strikes a careful balance between refining old ideas while introducing fresh new ones. Admittedly, its gorgeous graphics and jazzy orchestrated soundtrack bolster its presentation, but you’re getting a lot more than just looks with this one – although I spent an awful lot of time gawking at the details in slow-motion, the fast and furious pace of racing with friends both locally and online is what really kept me coming back.

This has been lots of fun especially for the children but also for the adults. Lots of different tracks with a variety of obstacles. Perhaps most important, there is a variety of skill levels so that the most inexperienced racer can have fun and win while the most experienced racer can find a challenge. Of course, at the heart is the same addictive game that's been entertaining gamers for nearly 30 years.

I always buy every Mario kart that comes out. Really great game and very nostalgic. This one has more characters and tracks.

Haven’t played this one yet, but my grandkids love it. There are new tracks and characters.

My sister has the same game for her switch and I had to get it for mine. It is so much fun to play with friends and watch every get competitive. I ended up buying the expansion pack for it and it provided so many more map options. So much fun! Definitely Recommend!

I was a bit skeptic that this version of MK, could deliver the older versions which are now Classics. I was wrong, even though it took me a bit to get used to the difference in the dynamics of steering and drift as supposed to the older versions once I found my groove I was loving the wild and colorful track's and nods to older version tracks. I was so impressed that they could take yet again a simple game premise and give it enough wrinkles to keep it fresh! I love it

Graphics are great, easy game to play and reminds me of the Mario kart I played when I was little!

Several of the circuits are the old ones and will bring back fun memories.there are also fun new characters, cars, and circuits!

Really good game to play with family and friends. The mechanics are very simple so even a 5 year old can play this. The maps are really nice and the pack with the old ones is even better really good game in my opinion.

All character are out at the start, all tracks ready to go, and a new battle mode. Awesome pick for the Switch to take on the go.

This game provides endless fun. Can be played against other local players or online.

Amazing game to play by yourself or with friends, such great fun.

I love the game I’ve been a fan since I was a little kid and just very happy with the game.

Another game that is great for the switch. A great time when you take it on the go and battle your friends in races. Great fun!

Whenever I have friends over, they want to play this game. It has fun levels and all the characters from Nintendo together.

Fun racing experience with a bunch of tracks and cosmetics.

This game is fun! We have so much fun even when it’s only 2 players. The different cars and graphics are amazing.

great fun game! playing online, playing by yourself or linking with another player, you're guaranteed to have fun

Contains several new tracks designed specifically for battle mode to help it stand out against the Wii U version. There are 48 racing tracks, more than any other Mario Kart. You can both race and battle online either worldwide or regionally and the connection holds up well. New to this version is a second item slot so you have even more chances to pick up powerful items. Even in first place you can get items like bob-ombs, no more disappointment from coin item after coin item.

Graphics are awesome and it still has the same feel as previous MarioKarts. Great to play on the tv or on the go.
