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

Similar to Mario Kart 8 for Wii U. Comes with new characters, new tracks, and the ability to hold two items at a time. It’s a good time playing solo or with others.

Like any Mariokart game it is fun with friends. You can hold 2 items which is pretty cool and comes with all the maps unlocked. Still have to unlock the carts and accessories including Gold Mario. Great game!

Great game! Easy to use and fun to play with family!

This game almost caused a divorce between my husband and I. See, I bought this game for him for Christmas as a way for us to spend time together. Little did I know the man I married has a secret past of obsessively playing this game with his cousins in his youth. This man has kept this a secret from me and I feel utterly betrayed. Not only because he never told me, but also because he failed to indicate his superior skills when we began playing, and then proceeded to crush me at the game. Rude. But also I have never laughed so hard in my life, so I guess it's worth it.

Best purchase I’ve ever made my kids really enjoy it

i got this game for my 5 year old son, and occasionally play together with him. i love the graphic although its not super duper great like other bigger consoles but its has its own class, and it is very nintendo like though i dont know how to explain it but when i play nintendos game like this one i suddenly could careless about graphich and dont get me wrong, ive been playing gta5 some other great graphic games in 4k at ultra settings since ive finished building my dual gtx 1080 last year and although i rarely play games these days i do still obses with great graphic to behonest. but i really appreciate nintendo family oriented games because they bring family together and just be happy playing games!

I was worried that not enough had changed from Mario Kart 8 to the deluxe version/update. The graphics are amazing and game play is much smoother. There are new characters and maps as well as abilities.

Brought from the WiiU library, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe features all the dlc and characters unlocked save for golden Mario. Great game with reworked multiplayer battles, this should be in every Switch library.

I asked for help finding mario kart 8 download version. The staff member was friendly and courteous. He took me to the gaming section and quickly found what i was looking for. He even escorted me to the check out counter. It was a great and quick experience.

Just bought this today and it is incredibly fun! The features, tracks, and characters are amazing. Love all the options. Great game to play with the family!

Whether you're ripping through the track by yourself, or trying to beat friends, this is a must have for any switch owner. The game has a ton of different challenges, and is beyond fun!

Bought the Switch Mario Kart 8 bundle for my daughter for Christmas and she loves it. Plays it almost every day. Need to get another set of controllers so more than two can play at a time.

You can never really go wrong with the Mario Kart franchise. Playing alone or online or with friends (locally or online) the game delivers what it's best at doing — being chaotically fun. Sure it may be stressful when you get the red shell, blue shell, etc. combo which may bring you from 1st place to last place but without items the game would be pretty dull. The upgraded battle mode from the Wii U version along with all the dlc and extra characters and kart parts make it a worthy edition to the Nintendo Switch collection. Fully recommended. Although for those that bought the Wii U version along with the dlc it might be harder to persuade but if you value having fun on the go on a more powerful console, just get it.

even if you owned the Wii U version, this is still worth buying. even just for the portability alone. but the revamped battle mode is definitely a plus too as well as better graphics and steady frame rates.

Great for friends and family. It is simple to play but if you want depth there are things to master like shortcuts and secrets to uncover. Fun for all! Would definitely recommend to pick up for the switch!!

I felt I had to give this game four stars based on the fact that at the end of the day it's still a port from the Wii U, so if you played that version and bought the DLC then you've played this. If it had been released at a discount I could excuse that, but it was released at full price. As for the actual game itself, it's amazing and I'd highly recommend it. Just don't waste your money on the Wheels (I reviewed those as well)...

I've been a fan of Mario Kart since I was a kid and being able to play a more advanced and nicer looking version compared to the wii and prior is great. I like the new characters they've added and really like the feel of the karts on the switch. My only gripe is the price for a remastered game but Nintendo likes their money and they'll never lower prices much.

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

Honestly I wasn't going to get this as I owned the wii u version as well as the dlc so i saw no point in paying for it again. There are a good bit more features that make it worth it from a couple new battle modes and some small control features. But let's be honest the wii u game pad is clunky, never charged, and not as portable as the switch. Don't bother blowing the dust off your wii u just to play mario kart with your friends. You know you haven't touched that thing in years. Get this for switch and meet a local friend at a cafe (following local covid guidelines) and play some mario kart.
