Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

This blows all the other versions out of the water. It is an upgrade from the Wii U version but do keep in mind all the characters and tracks come unlocked from the start so that may be a pro or con for you.

What can I say. If you love Mario Kart, you'll love this game. Great graphics, gameplay and fun. It's made even better now that you can take it wherever you want since it's on the Switch. Must buy if you own a Switch.

I owned Mario cart 8 on Wii U and all the dlc. I love the new battle modes and the splatoon map and characters. I like being able to take this anywhere and challenge others. There's no other racing game as fun as this.

It's simply the best Mario Kart made thus far. If you like any of the previous entries, you will love Mario Kart 8! Add Switch portability, and you've got yourself a great time anywhere you want to play!

Played Mario Kart on the wii and this game is a continuation of the wii version, but with MUCH better graphics. We also start with more tracks to play and more options to customize the vehicle you race with.

Sold my Wii U version so I could get the switch version for one main reason: portability. I cannot believe I can play this game as a handheld. Amazing graphics and gameplay and some of the best tracks in the franchise.

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.

Classic Mario cart great game! A lot of tracks and characters.

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.

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.

So much fun! My youngest daughter said I needed to buy this game since I bought a switch! We love playing as a family!

Nice game and friendly to play, excellent graphics and funny charters.

Endless fun playing with my kids and friends. I recommend.

I bought this game to play with friends online, but it's also been a lot of fun when people come over. It's easy to play so even the most inexperienced gamer can enjoy it.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!
