Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love this game. I play it all the time with my friends. Definitely one of my best purchases.

Enjoyable game for the switch, a must have for your collection. Very simple to play and keep family and guests entertained.

Bought this game along with a switch due to corona virus quarantine measures placed in California. I own several other games, and this is by far my favorite. Great graphics, great controls, easy to learn, and fun fun fun!!!!

I should have done more research I guess, but I was under the impression there would be new content/improvement of some kind from the Wii U edition. There isn't. Same game. for what it's worth, it's an amazing game.. just don't expect anything new.

Best version of Mario Kart released to date. Offers all of the content from vanilla Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U, but also includes all of the DLC, new characters and a new battle mode. Must own for any fan of Mario Kart. Great for casual and experienced players alike.

Only reason its 4 stars is due to lack of voice chat without app (more switch itself problem tbh) and its a re release for $60. I bought and played it alot for wii u and its dlc. Def still worth double dip if you can get a sale or trade in credit or BB rewards (latter 2 I did) lol or if you never got dlc/ really want it for portability specifically. Otherwise seriously awesome game!! Def worth retail price if first foray into this game. Perfect multiplayer and super quick jump in/jump out casual play on the go or before bed etc. Highly recommend

So much fun for the whole family with this classic.

You can say that the biggest reason for getting a switch was for this game and it does not disappoint. It’s very entertaining and creates a friendly environment to compete against friends or family. Tons of modes and tracks and characters....it’s awesome!!

I had bought this for my 5yr old grandson to play. He loves it. What's better is that my oldest children in their 20's were absolutely excited to see all the scenes and races from older versions of Mario Kart. Good graphics. Easy to play and very entertaining.

Love this game! Fun-spirited game suitable for all ages! Love the new tracks as well as some of the classics from previous systems. If you’re looking for the next Forza, this isn’t it, but if you’re looking for just a fun, exciting game, this is it!

SUPER fun game! A little daunting at first (I'm over 60 years old)...but so much fun when you learn the ropes! I love that there are new tracks and I love that there are updated tracks from earlier versions.

I stopped following the Mario Kart franchise a long time ago. In previous versions, gameplay was too difficult for little ones and the games were too kiddie for older ones. They were simultaneously way too easy yet frustratingly difficult. Did I mention Rainbow Road? Mario Kart 8 fixed all of these problems. It has an auto steer feature that keeps 5yr olds in the game with 15yr olds. They'll even finish on the same lap. When you drive off the road, it resets you quicker so one mistake doesn't end your chance of getting stars. The ai drivers are still a little too trigger happy though. One will strike and then 3 or 4 more will follow. ...And it's still frustrating when you're taken from first to last by relentless attacks, but it isn't as bad as it used to be. Overall, this game is the funnest of the whole series, so if you haven't played in a while, Mario Kart 8 is worth buying.

I was never into racing games but with the release of Mario kart 8, I felt that I needed to try it out. I was glad I did and was able to enjoy all the characters, maps, and carts. There is always something that you will like in the game.

Bought the game for my son. He’s a huge Mario fan! Take every min we can to race and do battle mode against each other

I am a huge Mario Kart fan and this is one of the best iterations of the game on any Nintendo console. It is really accessible for newcomers and offers depth and challenge for veterans. You can play four players on one TV and four joy-con, and the assistant modes even allow my three year old to have a little bit of fun and actually control. I'm a bit disappointed in the $60 price-point since I already purchased the original. This version includes all the DLC, 8 new courses, but most "Game of the Year" editions are $20-$30, not the full $60 asking price. That's Nintendo.

By far the best Mario kart. Tons of characters and courses. Looks amazing, runs at 60 frames and has 4 player split screen. You do need 4 controllers if you want to play 4 player but totally worth it. A must buy for every Switch owner.

10/10 would buy again better than Mario kart world

Ha so I got this for my son but I think I’ve been playing it more than him. Just love it reminds me of my childhood

The original Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U was a solid game in its own right, but the fact that you can take it on the go with the Switch might make this the best in the Mario Kart series. Local multiplayer works nearly flawless. This is just fun and a joy to play.

After playing the 64 version of this game all i can say is how amazing it is. We often have Mario Kart meetups and have so much fun. The portability of the Switch really shines here. The graphics and game play make it a needed game on the Switch.
