Customer Ratings & Reviews

Mario Kart has continued to impress in an almost perfect manner ever since N64. This version is no different. It is beautiful and easy to get started with for the newb and seasoned vet. My only concern has been the controls. Sometimes the gyro steering works, sometimes it requires the analog stick. That said, I spent no time looking for the setting.

Very fun game to play with friends on the big screen. There are tons of characters to choose from and many tracks as well. Great graphics.

For those that are looking for fun racing with friends, you can't go wrong with Mario Kart.

If you can buy only game for the whole family for a new switch in your household. Make it Mario Kart 8. It's perfect in every way. There are various difficulty mode for any age above 5. The graphics are really eye catching and the multiplayer is a lot fun, both Local and online. It comes with all the DLC which includes 48 tracks. I would buy it in a heartbeat. I was able to purchase the game for $35 during Black Friday sale.

Excellent game! Nice graphics and smooth gameplay. The kids enjoy customizing their rides and experiencing the immersive environment of each race track. Great for parties and family game time!

Great for family game night! lets talk about the tracks, it been a while since I played so to start off the first track Mario stadium I think it's its a great first impression to a mario kart game so at the beginning you have three lanes then you keep going till you hit the anti gravity part you go on a big curve and then you hit that ramp and bam your gliding now oh yea and there is a helicopter there you land and then drive to the finish, then you have this sunken theme park track and it is fire so first you go up the stairs and then you take a sharp turn either to the left or to the right it depends to you go on this track until your under water then you go on a windy tur around some tea cups then you resurface take a turn and now your gliding to the through the bottom of a ferris wheel and there is also a ticket station and past that it the end.

This game is so much fun to play! I always enjoyed the Mario kart series. In fact, I have old Mario kart for every old Nintendo console. I own this game on the Wii U also. I was hesitant to buy for the switch since I have it for Wii U. But the game has some improvements over the Wii U. It has much better graphics, more characters, more levels, and online feature. I am glad I got this game! And I got it on sale for $39.99!!!

Many tracks, cars, characters, and items. This game is worth it if you are looking for the most basic multiplayer game for switch.

I don't like playing the original on N64 - sue me. It controls like a lead balloon and didn't age well, and the nostalgia isn't enough for me to truly enjoy playing it. If I needed a fix, Double Dash was modern enough to do the trick for me. I just recently bought a Switch solely for this and Zelda...and maybe a little for the gimmicky but fun 1 2 Switch. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe alone is worth picking up the console. Take the plunge, and enjoy it with your friends! More video game news and reviews on the 2v1 Podcast on iTunes

While I wouldn't say it's the best mariokart (double dash for GC) it is definitely the most polished. While it was on the Wii U, on the switch you get the definitive edition with all the bells and whistles. Also you can play it on the go no less! And boy is this game sweet eye-candy on portable mode due to the crispness of the smaller screen. Great game to have mindless fun especially when you play online, you no longer have to wait until someone comes over to play with you like in the times of yore!

If you’re expecting a brand new game in the franchise, you’re going to be disappointed. But Mario Kart 8 was a great game for the Wii U and this Deluxe version for the Switch is a nice upgrade! It adds all the DLC from the original for free bundled in, as well as some additional new characters. This is, in my opinion, Nintendo’s best group game to play with friends! I bring it to family events and play with my sister and cousins, which is always a ton of fun — and now it’s portable on the Switch!

I’ve been playing Mario cart versions since N64 and this one is a pretty great upgrade. Familiar tracks and characters and then a ton of new ones. The controls are easy and I find less erratic than the originals so you can stay on the tracks which can have different ways to complete them, in each arena. Balloon battle is much improved and way more fun. The graphics are great and make even crazy fast tracks easy to navigate. Fun for the whole family!

my son loves the game plays with friends and family

Mario Kart 8 was already the best game from the franchise up to date. Even though it is a Wii U game that was ported to the Nintendo Switch system, it brings new characters, new battle modes, and of course, portability. The fact that you can play this, with a friend (without even having to buy a second controller or set of joycons) and on the go, is great, And if you hadn't tried Mario Kart 8 before (lots of people didn't get a Wii U) prepare to be amazed. Graphics, soundtrack, characters, tracks and even the special items!

First, if you aren't a gamer member with Bestbuy you are throwing money away every time you buy a game. This game has everything! It's especially fun once you master the steering wheel(sold separately) and don't need to use the directional buttons. The switch joy con is made to fit hands that are roughly the size of Trumps hands. If you have anything larger than a toddlers hand when playing with the joy con you need the steering wheel. There are tons of characters and vehicles to choose from. So many upgrades. The game is set up for the most novice players to the extremely talented with all the classes and cups available. Better option for party's of adults or children than 1-2 switch. Adults only below this...... Trying playing Drunk Cup The rules are: You are not allowed to drink and drive. You must pull over to drink. You must finish your adult beverage before finishing the race. Good luck!!!!

This particular game offers an engaging experience suitable for all ages. Its mechanics are designed to foster collaboration and friendly competition. The gameplay encourages strategic thinking and problem-solving in a fun, accessible manner. It provides a valuable opportunity for shared enjoyment and meaningful interaction among family members.

Awesome game with lots of modes, characters and tracks. Anybody that's a fan of any of the previous Mario Kart games will love this game

This game is packed with fun! Love all the tracks and it’s a great family game for all experience levels. Certainly a family favorite.

Mario Kart is a classic Nintendo game series. I've played every single entry of the series from the SNES to N64 to GCN to Wii to Wii U to Switch. I've also played the handheld entries of the series. This version of the game for Switch is basically the most current and up-to-date entry. It includes many different characters and race tracks to choose from. On the Switch, you can race with others locally via split screen or online. Honestly, it's a Mario Kart game. It's tons of fun, even playing single player mode.

it took a little time to get used to the controls, but once you've got that down it's a total blast. Maps and characters are awesome.
