Customer Ratings & Reviews

I get all my Switch games at Best Buy. Mario cart is a game that I've always enjoyed while playing with family and friends. This one has a lot of characters and stages. All the previous DLCs. Also, new fun battle modes :)

Love the fact it's a game I can play with my kids and have a friendly race.

I love, love this version for the DS2. My children and can’t stop playing it.

Mario Kart 8 is a great game to play alone or with friends. You will never get bored of its different game modes when you play by yourself and its fun to compete with friends. Its also great for children and family

Yes, It's not much different in the sense it's the same levels and such but it looks stunning in better graphics! The addition of the new characters is a bit of a incentive but honestly this is well worth the double dip.

Haven't bought the last couple Mario Karts just becasue we haven't bought a Nintendo console in a few years since we've been focusing on xbox and pc gaming in the house. This game brings back memories of previous versions with a new fit and finish that makes it our go-to game on the switch so far. Like I said - can't compare it to the Wii version but I've heard it's similar. It's got great graphics, smooth gameplay, all of the characters you remember and updated versions of tracks from previous incarnations of Mario Kart from older consoles. All of the characters and levels are unlocked out of the box with only the vehicle modifications needing to be unlocked along the way. Great way to kill some time and super enjoyable overall. Great game.

Great game! It has a lot of tracks, characters, and vehicles to choose from. You can customize the different karts/cars. Just a lot of fun in every way imaginable, even more fun with friends and family.

Amazing game! Overall one of the better mario karts!!

Amazing graphics. Very cute charm. And plenty of characters and race categories to choose from this is an absolute must own. I play this with my 4 year old daughter and she loves it.

characters in the games are big hit with all the family members. lots of things to do to keep you interested and challenged. would definitely recommend this game to friends and family.

I didn't have the WiiU so this was my first try at this version. It looks great and is so much fun. I play with my 6 and 8 year old and we have a great time going head to head and trying to win as a team. Highly recommend.

Fun and family friendly game, me and the kids always have a blast any time we play this game together.

All Mario games are great, but this one really takes me back to my childhood. I love the addition of characters.

Mario Kart 8 is one of the best racing games around and this Switch version improves upon it. The added battle mode is something that should have been in the original and is as hectic and addictive as ever. However, the biggest improvement to me is being able to play the game on the go. Playing solo on the Switch's gorgeous screen is awesome but being able to pull the Joycons out and have a quick multiplayer session has been a dream come true. It's always been a bummer on past portable games that they required both people to have the system in order to have multiplayer but the Switch's design has now allowed you to past the time with a friend or friendly stranger. And what better pick up and play game is there to share than Mario Kart? Definitely recommended.

Simpky Fantastic game. Lots of fun playing online or single/multi player with family

This game's crazy fun racing mayhem, and the new auto-steering/acceleration makes it even easier for newcomers to pick it up. It's better with friends, but if you're self-motivated, there's plenty to do on your own too.

I didn't think I was going to get this one - I already have the Wii U version. But my son really really wanted it and he was right; this is the definitive Mario Kart that should be a part of everyone's Switch collection.

If you've got a regular Switch and don't have this game...well, just get it. Worth the investment and your time. Fun, good controls, and, well...fun!

I bought this game to play with friends online, but it's also been a lot of fun when people come over. It's easy to play so even the most inexperienced gamer can enjoy it.

This blows all the other versions out of the water. It is an upgrade from the Wii U version but do keep in mind all the characters and tracks come unlocked from the start so that may be a pro or con for you.
