I love this game, my son who is 3 loves it too!! We play together and he can understand the controls enough to finish the race, even winning some of them.

Great game, really love this game it is so funny but at the same time makes my heart beat lol

Great Family game. Super Fun. 48 NEW tracks coming soon through Nintendo online. !!!!

Mario Kart 8 is a beautiful, fun kart racer that introduces sound new ideas to Nintendo’s 22-year old franchise. While it doesn't reach Double Dash-levels of risk and experimentation, Mario Kart 8 builds on the series' most essential aspects better than any of its predecessors. Twisting U-turns, a blistering sense of speed, skillful track designs, robust tournament and online features, and gorgeous graphics fall into lockstep all at once. The end result shouldn't come as a surprise: Mario Kart 8 is the king of the mascot kart circuit, and it gave me hours of enjoyment.

great game to play with friends and family, easy to play, would totally recommend to those who love Super Mario!

Excellent value, there are tons of characters, cars, and maps. The online play with friends is great too!

Mario Kart has always been a personal favorite of mine (all the way back to N64). Game is fun, great graphics too. Enjoy the different courses - like how they mix the old with the new. Staple game for the Switch!

one of the best games ever made in the history of games. it does have faults tho, its not at all realistic...the jumps in the game are silly like half a mile jumps!! doing so would destroy those struts/shocks/vertebrea ....I've just realized I have no idea how to spell vertebrae ...oh! I just did it.

A new Nintendo system launch doesn't feel right unless it comes with a new Mario Kart. Even though this is just a port of the game for the Wii U, it adds all of the DLC add ons and even brings back some things that started in the very first Mario Kart. I always break this game out when friends come over and it never fails to be fun. My only complaint is that it shouldn't be a full price game just for a port from an older system, even if it has new DLC add ons, most people had to buy it twice for the full price just to have more games in their Nintendo Switch library.

Mario Kart just keeps getting better and better. Runs great on the Switch and looks incredible on the screen. A ton of fun, must own for any Switch owner

All characters except for two are playable from the beginning and auto steering is great for beginners. Super fun for those who are more competitive too!

Great game for the whole family!!! Easy to set up races and easy enough for kids to navigate. Great graphics!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch is an enhanced port of the original Mario Kart 8 for Wii U. Improvements include new playable characters, new items, the ability to hold two items at a time, all DLC from the Wii U version is included, revamped Battle Tracks that are way more fun to play, 1080p60 FPS in docked mode and 720p60FPS in portable mode. All of these changes and more make it awesome and very fun to play. One of the best Mario Karts.

We loved growing up with Nintendo 64 so this game is very loved. The graphics are great and the options easy to choose from.

Pretty fun iteration of the series. Very enjoyable, looks great, however, it does not offer much to those of us who played the wii U version a lot. From that perspective the $60 price tag can be tough to justify. The updates to the visuals make the game look great, especially on the Switch screen. Plenty of people seem be online already so the community is active and fun.

Great game, my 5 year old loves it as much as my wife. Easy to play and has all of the original stuff built in. Highly recommend.

As a owner of Mario Kart 8 on the WiiU I was hesitant about purchasing again, but after playing it on the Switch I'm comfortable saying it's completely worth it. New content is limited to some customizations, characters and the biggest change, new and expanded battle mode. Battle mode was sorely lacking in the WiiU version and welcome to have. And, in case you're wondering, you don't have to unlock any levels or characters again. This version not only looks great, but also plays fantastic and the online works perfectly. Definitely worth your time and money.

Fun game. The whole family can get involved. My 5 year old loves the blue yoshi

We have really enjoyed this and it says something that they have made 8 iterations. They kids have played a lot more than I have it it was fun to see them recognize tracks from other versions they have played and all the friendly competition. It is a great looking game with lots of things to see, unlock, and discover. Great family time (Ages 8-45) It was also nice to be able to split the controllers and have four people playing. I do recommending getting the wheels. We bought the Insignia ones as the nintendo brand wasn't available yet and they have been great too.

What can you say - it's a Mario Kart game and it's as fun as ever. Some new twists on tracks and being able to hold multiple items is nice.
