Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was the first game we bought for our Switch. Having come from the Wii, these are all new levels to us and love the new mechanisms. I really like the hover/anti-grav mechanism with all the course twisting and spinnning. Over all another classic MARIO kart that meets expectations and is an easy go to for the whole family.

After adding another controller, this game has been hours of fun for everyone in my home. It creates nostalgia by letting you play with the people next to you and quickly become a staple of family game night. A ton of highly detailed levels, characters and vehicles along with a simple control scheme made this game a must have

Every in the house plays plus it's portable! Amazing game!

My girls love this game! I’ve hesitated purchasing due to the price, but I purchased as a Christmas gift and they’ve loved playing it! I would recommend also purchasing the “racing wheels” for playing 2 player on a television, but 1 player works well as the handheld.

Fantastic game and have had no problems with my purchase! Great find!

Great game, my son and I are having a blast!! Super fun!!

A must have for any Switch owner. By far one of the best games

I purchased this item for my son's 6th birthday as a gift. He loves Mario. The graphics are amazing. The adventure of every new race has him wanting to be the best racer and always number one. He is always ready to play and ready to race anyone.

I love Mario Kart 8. I originally rented it from Vintage Stock when it released on the Wii U to play with my cousins one weekend. However, I found I enjoyed the game so much I bought the copy I rented and never returned it. It is even better on the Switch -- especially since the battle mode on the Wii U was useless. I haven't played battle mode much on the Switch, but what little I've played is far more enjoyable than the Wii U version. If you've never played Mario Kart 8, own a Switch, and enjoy Mario Kart games, I highly recommend this game. However, if you've already sunk hours into the Wii U version, bought the DLC, and don't care about portability or battle mode, it isn't worth spending the $60 to re-purchase.

Mario Kart 8 is a lot of fun but also is more difficult than before. Very hard to win but the graphics are good and the game play is nice

Good entertainment for the whole family. Lots of levels and mini games to keep you busy. Easy enough for my 6 year old to setup and play on her own as well.

This game is very fun. There are a lot of different venues, all of which are greatly detailed and fun to pass through. There are various types of races as well as various speeds. You can play by yourself or online with friends. There are many different characters to choose form and you create your own car. I find it very enjoyable.

It's Mario Kart. If you have played Mario Kart before, it has nothing unexpected: same basic gameplay and same basic fun. The most different thing is the fact that you don't need to buy an extra controller to get 2 player, which is the only way to really play this game. If you have any friends then this game is a must buy.

Fun! Different than the WII version so it took us a a few tries to get used to. But still the same fun with new tracks!

Honestly, there's not much more to say. It's Mario Kart, for the Switch. Plays exceptionally well - pick a character, build a cart from body, tires, and parachute (all of which affects handling/speed/acceleration/etc) race around the tracks and hope to win. Multiplayer is quick and simple to set up. Blue shells are a pain.

Beautiful graphics and fun to play with the whole family!

[Employee of bestbuy] It’s the ol’ classic Mario Kart, can’t go wrong with it. Dual play was a little difficult to get working but I blame my lack of intelligence not the game itself. 11/10

I do own the Wii U version of Mario Kart 8 with the DLC's and now Mario Kart 8 deluxe for the switch. Bringing back battle mode in the deluxe version does breathe new life this ported version. This one is a no-brainer to buy if you are new to Mario Kart 8 but it may be worth waiting for a price drop if you already own the Wii U version.

I'm a big fan of the series. I grew up with Mario and it's cool that my kids love it too. I like that the kids can play for an hour and put it away bc it's not a long role playing game. They keep entertained and will replay it over and over. They don't have to wait for their sibling to play with bc they can play with others online.

Fun for the whole family. Up to 4 can play at a time.
