Customer Ratings & Reviews

I haven't played Mario Kart since the first one on 3DS and Double-Dash on the Gamecube, but this version is a lot of fun, especially with friends and family. I also love how many ways you can play locally. I have a Pro Controller so if you count the Joy-Cons I can play with 3x people now. The Joy-Cons with the grips attached are actually pretty good controllers, much better than expected.

I got this for my son and he loves playing it as well as my grandchildren.

I had previously played this on the Wii U, so I was familiar with the game. The Switch version is both technically better, portable, and adds some new features. If you like Mario Kart and have a Switch this is definitely a game for you. I wouldn't necessarily recommend buying a Switch JUST for this game if you don't already have one, but it's great regardless.

Fast paced gameplay. Challenging tracks great for any age.

With the Switch, it's easy to sync joycons. We had a friend come over and all he did was slide it into the switch and pull it out. Mario Kart for Switch has some really fun games and is way more responsive than any of the other motion controller console versions. Not having to unlock any characters may seem like there is nothing to work for in the game, but this was made for social fun!!!

The game is great on the switch and includes all the dlc and some extra modes to make it worth buying again if you have it on Wii U already. But since it’s been out on the Wii U for a while now and it’s still full price I have to dock it a star.

Its Mario Kart 8. Come on, you know its good. Only problem is online play is too overly competitive. Playing with friends is the best way to play this game.

I love Mario kart and the only reason I bought a Nintendo switch!

I've been playing the Mario franchise since Super Mario for Nintendo and I love Mario Kart 8. It's fun to play by yourself or with family and friends. Definitely recommend playing!

Deluxe comes with the complete package including all the DLC characters and tracks. The game looks even better on Nintendo Switch at a smooth 60 FPS. As always you can drift, glide, and now collect up to two power ups to give you an edge over the competition. The multiplayer works great in local or online. MK8D is as fun as ever and I highly recommend it for anyone's Switch library.

Mario Kart is so fun, can’t go wrong with this purchase

Was really nervous about Mario Kart successively meeting its past standards. Past races being included in the game definitely helps, but all the original tracks stand on their own merits. The tire/kart system is a nice maturation of the series to keep from the oversimplistic weight-classes. New items are great, great anti-blue shell technology! Music can be a little wanting at times, but not terrible, online is super fun and seems to be promisingly endurable. The MarioKarTV replay thing is a little overindulgent. The optional smart steering is a stroke of genius. If it would have been mandatory it would have really ruined the game, but having it be optional is a great way to learn tracks. Right along with that, is having to finish tracks and not having the option to restart, just a nice touch. Switch additions are great also, glad the tilt controls are optional, because they can be fun, but hard to remember if you're using certain controller methods. That's about it I think. Love the point-unlock system. 200 cc is a cruel joke that if I ever master I'll almost be kind of embarrassed, but for its credit it is kind of like making Mario Kart into a cartoon style Gran Turismo. Too much for my taste, but I could see how it would be fun. Oh and the battle additions, that renegade thing with the piranha plant, really fun, sunshine really fun, coin runner.... meh, but the rest great additions.

My kids love this game, they laugh the whole time they play.

super fun to play!! very easy to handle for a beginner!!

Great graphics, fun action and very imaginative. Fun for the whole family.

This is my GO TO game (besides Smash Bros) when the friends come through. I wish I could have something amazing to say about it but come on ... it's Mario Kart... when has it EVER failed to amaze?!!!! My daughter loves it so because it has a "driving assist" mode that keeps me from having to "teach her the controls" she gets to learn them herself.

Mario Kart has always been one of my favorite games when growing up. I was able to buy this gift for my nephew and he absolutely loves it! Even myself as an adult fine myself at the edge of the seat playing this game with it's new features that it had and not even to mention the graphics which are outstanding as well! I'm very satisfied and do recommend this a 100%!

fun game to play with children - easy for them to operate and great graphics

I got this because as a kid who didn’t play this? But I wanted to get my kid into it and boy did it work. They not just did it right but the graphics and the mechanics are wonderful. Once you’re drifting you won’t drive without it. It’s action packed and I didn’t think 32 race option was needed in a game but I think we proved it was lol

Such a great game. Fun for new fans like my daughter, and nostalgic fans that remember the original.
