Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wow this is a fun game for the kids in the family as well as the adults. Easy to set up for almost any age and jump right in. Kids will love the cartoony characters and courses, adults who don't even like games will find themselves acting very competitive after just one race. Cannot recommend enough for a household who is looking for some together fun.

Mario Kart 8 is so fun! You can play alone or with a group of people. As always, there's racing as well as battle modes, so you can play whatever you're in the mood for. This game has fun characters, cool vehicles, wheels, and parachutes, as well as fun and colorful raceways/battle arenas. Mario Kart 8 is definitely a must have for your Nintendo Switch collection!

When I first got it, I played it practically all the time about. I got into it, especially with the online membership. It's a fun, addictive game that you should play. You don't need the online membership as you can play against the computer. My favorite course is the Zelda course. Nintendo just keeps adding courses! This game you can play forever and still have a fun time.

My kids love the new Mario Kart! Lots of tracks and characters for them to choose from. Keeps them entertained.

This is one of the funnest versions of Mario Kart I have played. Love all of the new tracks and characters.

Fun game for my granddaughters to play together. I would recommend purchasing.

What more can you say about Mario Kart 8 deluxe? Infinite replay value and is a recipe for a good time. Game has many modes and will take some time for people to master it. Easy to play, hard to master is the reason why this game stood the test of time.

Terrific game! Love this game on the 64 when my kids are small and you can play it with them when they’re all grown

When this game came to the Wii U a few years back, at that time it was one of if not the best game on the system. The fact you can now get this game plus all of the DLC on top of the portability aspect makes it an absolute no brainer for anyone who digs racing games. The game can cater to any age group and supports online play as well as local multiplayer. If you own a Switch, do yourself a favor and pick this up, especially if you never played the Wii U version.

Yes Mario will always be the best and for the price was ok to

We have mariokart 8 for the wiiU but my husband wanted to get a switch before the christmas rush, so I grabbed a copy of mariokart 8 deluxe and am very happy with it. The graphics are great, and the portability is excellent. Playing with one other person while we're waiting for an event to start, and then being able to pause the game and finish it later is fantastic. Probably would be difficult to play more than two people unless you plugged into a TV.

Welcome to Mario kart! So much fun. Amazing graphics, lots of cart customization, plenty of characters.

A lot of fun to play. Multiplayer is a blast. A lot of tracks and carts and characters

Love this game. Actually received the game before the console came in. We enjoyed previous Mario Kart games on Wii and this takes it a step further (though it has some of the old courses also). We play in our house and have played it online against random people as well as directly with our daughter in Taiwan. Easy to learn, but also fun to try and master. Highly recommend.

Mario Kart has always been a fun, party game and 8 is no different. In fact, it's been a while since I've played a Mario Kart game and enjoyed it as much as this installment. With new tracks and revisited scenary, 8 has plenty for you to play through. Seeing familiar and new faces on the roster is a always a plus, and the the ability to customize your vehicle's performance to fit your racing or battling needs is excellent!

Love the game, can spend hours trying to pass 220k...Also love the battle more and the different types of battle modes available. Theirs tons of tracks (old and new), characters and cars to choose from. I had this item delivered and missed the delivery, but got in contact w ith the delivery person and they came back and dropped it of. overall nice experience.

Before I get into my personal opinion I'd like to address the questions I had before buying. Hopefully it will help somebody. What's the difference between the Wii u version and the switch version? The switch version has everything the Wii u version has plus... New battle mode courses, new characters, up to 8 player local wireless multiplayer, an optional smart steering feature that helps new players stay on track, more items and characters can now carry two items at a time. How is the deluxe version any different? Deluxe is compatible with Animal Crossing and Splatoon amiibo. In my opinion the best part is the deluxe version includes all the DLC from the Wii U version. Who doesn't want a Mercedes kart? ;) Now that I got that out of the way onto my personal opinion. I never thought I'd like any Mario Kart game as much as I like Mario Kart 64. Then I reluctantly purchased this title. I'm pleasantly surprised! This is so much fun to play with my friends, family and on my own. It's a beautiful fresh spin on a classic series, done properly. Everything from the variety of characters and revamped battle mode to the beautiful graphics. It's what the Wii u version should have been. Experiencing battle mode with GameCubes Luigi's Mansion, SNES Battle Course 1 and the boo item struck me with nostalgia. Fresh enough for my nephews and nostalgic enough for me. I highly recommend this game for all ages. My elderly father and young nephews enjoy it equally. That speaks volumes.

Multiple players can play at once and there are a lot of tracks and characters to choose from. Endless fun

A certain crowd-pleaser. If you have a Switch, you should also make sure to add this to your collection. It adds new characters, new kart upgrades, and some extra power-ups. It doesn't feel like an entirely new game because, well, it isn't. It's an upgraded version. But since the Switch's strength is portability and the ability to play with people with the attached joycon, it's a no-brainer to get this. Fun for kids, teens and adults.

I grew up playing the original Mario Kart when I was 12 and now it's a ton of fun to play with my kids. I use the regular controller but they use the steering wheel. So that makes it easy for my young kids to play. There's an option to automatically keep the gas pedal depressed, so they don't even need to remember to keep a button pressed down. My 6 year old gets it with no trouble, but a little over the head of my 4 year old.
