Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of the best Mario Kart games available. Great controls, fun tracks and a must play for families.

MK8 Deluxe is such a great racing game! There are dozens of characters and courses (all unlocked) to choose from and numerous unlock-able vehicle customizations. In this deluxe version of MK8, you get additional features like some new characters, the ability to hold 2 items at a time, and a proper battle mode. It also has "smart steering" for novice drivers who may have trouble staying on track. This feature can be disabled to allow more experienced drivers to take those risky shortcuts. Finally, since it's for the Switch - you can take it with you for racing on the go. <3

So, yes, this is a slight upgrade to the Wii U version of Mario Kart 8, but no enough people bought a Wii U to really notice. This game is pure Mario Kart joy, and with the Switch, you will always have an extra controller for your friend to play with you on the train/plane/wherever. The game looks stunning and runs silky smooth in docked mode as well as handheld mode. The unlockables will keep you racing for hours and hours, and the online is very fun. Also, if you have friends that have a Switch, you can all play wirelessly without wifi. It's amazing.

Mario has been my ultimate game since I was a kid! It just brings me so much enjoyment and excitement! I am glad that until now even with our new generation, Mario is still a hit and continues to make people like me feel happy! This game will go on forever!

I loved Mario Kart on the Wii, and this updated version does not disappoint! The graphics are incredible just as I imagined they would be. Hours of fun!

I love it! It’s so fun.. and family friendly I love how 4 people can play at the same time!! I recommend this product.

This game is not only fun for children but it's also fun for any age it has smooth graphics and great tracks especially if you like a sense of nostalgia

I'll start by saying Mario Kart 8 on Wii U is one of the prettiest games currently on the market. Deluxe is no exception, bringing the experience to the Switch. The return of battle mode is a welcome addition as is the pack-ins on all the original DLC, plus some new characters. If you missed it on Wii U or slept on the DLC, I highly recommend this game. Everything runs great both docked and portable, the new smart steering being great for newbies and younger children. Single Joycon support is also present and works great. If you own a Switch don't miss out on this game.

I remember when I was a little one playing Mario Kart with my friends and family. I was terrible at first but over time became the best but no matter what the tracking shells still drive me crazy. lol I haven't had one since I was a kid so now that I have a little one of my own I have decided to get a switch along with this game to continue the tradition of playing games like this together because I've always been fond of these memories. Thank you for continuing to create this game after years and years.

This is by far my son favorite game. There’s plenty of characters to choose from and lots of new and exciting tracks to race on. Over all great game!!

Really great gaming experience. Smooth as butter, great music, fun sound effects, very immersive. I haven't really played much video games since the N64 (skipped both the Wii and WiiU, so I kinda feel like an old man jumping back into the World of Nintendo). It's made me feel like a kid again, and with how much stress I've been under these last few years with my health... that's a pretty big deal to me. Thank you,

Mario Kart is still the king of kart racing. The auto drive and auto steer make it easy for young children to enjoy it with the rest of the family!

This is mostly the same as the previous couple installments but it's for the Switch and includes some new features such as multiple items and Splatoon characters. I believe some modes may be new too. The online multiplayer is also more challenging than vs cpu. Local multiplayer was simple with the joycons and some inexpensive wheel grips. Though, it still required changing the layout through the system, not the game. Ultimately, I prefer the Pro Controller with this game most if you can. Though it's not necessary at all, I think the game is more responsive to its precision.

You can't go wrong with Mario Kart. It's for fun all ages. Easy pick up and play for kids as well with assisted driving. Well worth it if you have a Switch.

I own a Wii U and Mario kart 8 and that didn't stop my from trying Mario kart 8 Deluxe. I love the new modes and having it in portable is a dream come true.

Super fun game! Family Loves it. Game is super fun, easy to play, and doesn't get boring with multiple players

Fun game for all ages and would recommend to family

It is what you expect from the Nintendo classic. Familiar but upgraded gameplay and all the Mario related characters. All in portable format. Awesome.

Great Family game. Super Fun. 48 NEW tracks coming soon through Nintendo online. !!!!

This is the best Mario kart to date. It has a lot of characters and tracks. Keeps the gameplay interesting.
