Customer Ratings & Reviews

Mario Kart plays just as you remember it from your childhood, and the race courses are stunning and innovative in design. My only complaint is that auto steering is turned on as default, and it can’t be switched off until you actually start the race. This should be an option when you pick a kart before a game.

[Employee of bestbuy] It’s the ol’ classic Mario Kart, can’t go wrong with it. Dual play was a little difficult to get working but I blame my lack of intelligence not the game itself. 11/10

Second best game currently available for the switch right now, behind only The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. A very solid entry in the Mario Kart franchise. The only reason not to purchase would be if you already have the WiiU version of the game as there are not many differences between that version and this Switch version.

Love!!! I knew it was going to be a great game before I got it!

I was skeptical at first if buying Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would be worth it since I owned it on the Wii U. But wow they have improved loading times and even fixed issue that was present on the Wii U that the game is no longer a 9/10 game but a 10/10 game!!! it's now the best Mario Kart ever made. It's a must have for any Switch owners!

Great game. Battle mode with friends is invaluable. How fast it starts up makes it so convenient, in addition to how flexible this console is, allowing you to play at your computer desk while listening to videos, on the couch while someone is playing something else, in bed relaxing, or just on the TV. So undervalued. Get this stuff.

Enjoy playing with the kids, and on my own........

Such a great game. Price was a little high though.

My sons favorite game! He loves it! From the special levels to the battle stages! We have a blast on family fun night!

Graphics look better. Driving with the joy-cons are fun in 2 player mode . Just press the accelerator once and it goes automatically and then just use L and R plus the brakes and that's it. I'm impressed on how it runs . If you haven't gotten your copy do so now . If your playing on single player just on the device it's amazing too

Definitely a very fun and competitive game! Fun for all ages

Never played a Mario kart before so can’t really speak to the evolution of the game from previous versions. I bought this because this is one of the only racing games on the switch. Graphics are beautiful, gameplay is buttery smooth , but man am I terrible at this game. But it’s not frustrating, it’s really a lot of fun.

Looks great and tons of fun. My wife loves it too.

Good entertainment for the whole family. Lots of levels and mini games to keep you busy. Easy enough for my 6 year old to setup and play on her own as well.

Bought this game for the kids as we’ve played it on every gaming console. Very easy to use even for my two year old. There is a setting where it automatically accelerates so your little one can just steer the remote to drive rather than having to hold down a button.

Best Mario kart in the series... Combines all the greatest tracks and series abilities. Fun for all !

Fun Mario kart game for family to play oh ours of fun

Mario Kart is a classic must have game! It’s entertaining and so much fun to race against friends or even go on solo races. I’m not too much of a fan of some of the locations but it’s still a great game overall. Everyone always enjoys playing Mario Kart at friend gatherings because it’s instant nostalgia. :)

If you played MK for the Wii U, then you know exactly what you’re getting into. This game is incredibly exciting and a great way to enjoy time with family or to absolutely create a cosmic riff in friendship, only comparable to the black hole equivalent void, remnant from playing super smash brothers with your friends.

Mario Kart 8 is a great continuation of the Mario Kart saga. With new and old levels to play, this is always a go-to for game night!
