Brings me back to when I was younger playing this on my DS! Great update but still keeping it old school

I bought a Switch just for this game, and I don't regret a penny or second. It is the best Mario Kart game to date, and clearly a must.

This is the definitive mario kart game. If you have reservations let me ease your worries. Steer assist makes it fun for my 5 year old.

This is by far the best game I have played from my childhood in a long time. Very true to original with awesome upgrades!! Great buy!!!

The game is great. Graphics are really nice and the courses are fun.

I’d gve it a 3.5/5 honestly I was super excited about this game after purchasing my switch, but upon playing it, I was left disappointed. I think part of the reason is that this game is really tailored towards a much younger audience. I’m 28 and grew up loving Mario Kart, my friends and I would play it in college on the Wii, it was still a great time. But there’s some noticeable changes with the latest version. First, nintendo opted to make a setting called “smart steering” automatic. For those who don’t know what smart steering is, think of it as bumpers when you bowl. You can fall off the course and your kart will override your controls to help you. I don’t disagree with having this feature for a younger audience, but don’t make it an auto setting. Second, a lot of the maps are designed to bedazzle and wow you, but i thought many lacked substance and detail that made me love so many of the courses of earlier time. Lastly, online play is often gruelingly slow. I have a 3DS as well, and the play on there is faster by a significant margin. I’m gonna keep playing, but as of now, my opinion of this game is luke warm

Mario Kart 8 is just as fun handheld as it is docked. I also like that one controller can be split for two people to play.

This is a great Mario kart game especially for a first time racer. This game offers features that make racing easier for people not used to the game which is nice to have.

One of, if not the best MARIO Kart game. If you have it on Wii U with the dlc there is not much new here but still great on the switch.

Best Buy had at a great price! Really like this Mario game, worth the purchase! 2 player fun.

My 8 year old grandson loves it. It is a game that all the family can play.

Christmas gift for 8 year old, loves Mario. So if your kids love Mario, then it’s a win-win!!

Great game. I enjoy a lot playing this game with my grandson.

This game is my kids favorite game on the switch. They love all the different games available and the fact they are multi player.

have always loved mario kart since the original!! van never go wrong with it!!

This game is one of the main reasons I got a switch. It is extremely fun and the port over to the switch was done very well.

Fun game to play together with my wife. Gives us a break from all the Animal Crossing we play.

Plain and simple. Great game for all ages. Many people can play plus there’s an online option which only costs $20/ year

I had this game on the Wii U and i loved it. So i had to get it on the Nintendo switch.

This was a Christmas present for my 5 year old grandson. He really enjoys playing this game.
