Customer Ratings & Reviews

Another fun iteration of Mario Kart! Got this for my daughter for Christmas. We enjoy racing each other and all the tracks included. There are also remakes of some classic tracks that brings back some memories of the older games.

Fun game, I’ve played with my son and it reminds me of the original MarioKart. Some exciting new characters and tracks too

Want fast paced action with friends, online, or by yourself? One of the best games on the Wii U is now one of the best games on the Switch... and even better than its original version. The battle arenas are actually arenas (unlike the first version of the game), and were a much needed upgrade. They give you a ton of stuff unlocked as soon as you start, and there's still more to unlock while you collect coins racing. The tracks, featuring a number from previous versions of Mario Kart remade, are all very well designed. The only con to the game is the rubberband effect, which is, as always, worse as the difficulty increases.

Just like any of the other Mario karts. Its a fun game to play with family. I really enjoyed the new tracks & characters.

This is so much fun! Super easy to play, but very hard to master, especially playing as multi-player with split joy-con.

Mario kart 8 for the Wii U was near perfect, but the battle mode was bad. Instead of arenas, it was in regular race tracks, and it wasn't as fun because other opponents were further apart. But in 2017, Mario kart 8 Deluxe was released for Nintendo's newest console, the Nintendo Switch, and it really improved the battle mode by removing the tracks and adding not only arenas, but new modes such as Coin Runners, Renegade Roundup, Shine Runners, and Bob-bomb Blast. There are also more characters, tracks, and items. It is a must game for your Switch console, even if you have the Wii U version.

Entertaining game for hours, many characters and tracks to choose from. No end to the fun when you can continue the game anywhere! The portability is priceless.

This game is an amazingly fun game not just for me as a parent because all of us parents know that there are times it is nice to have a fun game system we can take with us to those long trips we dread but having a fun game to play makes it so much better! I loved the Mario Kart we had for the Wii U and heard that this one was going to have some really cool upgrades and boy were they right! Me and the kids love being able to hold multiple items.. We love the new characters and think this game all around it one of our favorites to use on this game console, try it... You will not be disappointed!!

I can't recommend this game enough, especially with the introduction of the driver assistance. My little ones can now participate and make it to the finish line. This feature can be turned off when the adults play. There is a plethora of tracks and characters to choose from. As someone who played on the SNES, this game brought a lot of fun and the core mechanics of the game are still there. It was like riding a bike... you never forget how to play Mario Kart! The game also supports amiibo figures that grant your Mii different outfits, but this is merely aesthetics and doesn't not affect gameplay.

We love the game it’s a great Way of entertainment even we jump in with a five year old and raise sometimes there’s a lot of cool things that the game offers like the battles and all kinds of different gimmicks that you can do in a game to stop the other person from winning Options for the characters in the vehicles and modifications are pretty cool I need to overall great way of spending some time with the kiddos and entertainment Would definitely recommend

Originally, I considered just sticking with Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U, but eventually decided to get Deluxe for the Switch primarily based on my friend's review and the fact that I hardly play my Wii U anymore. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe includes everything the original does, but also includes a ton of added features like new maps, characters, DLC, ability to hold two items, etc. It also has new features for beginners such as smart steering (basically prevents you from going off-road). This game is a ton of fun, and in my opinion, a must-have if you own a Switch.

Possibly the best Mario Kart game to date. Gorgeous game with an excellent art style, and runs at a native 1080p/60fps compared to the Wii U version's 720p. Additionally, it comes with all DLC. The tracks themselves are also peak Mario Kart, and with 48 tracks there's an amazing selection to choose from. The only negatives I have? I have no idea why Nintendo decided to make multiplayer split-screen *vertical*, rather than a more logical horizontal. Secondly: No option for download play, which is lame, honestly. That said, still an amazing game.

Bought the game for my nephew as a birthday gift. Video game about go karting and with Super Mario / Nintendo characters? Of course he loved it!

While I enjoy playing the more intense games that are feautured on the Xbox One or PS4; there is something nostalgic about being able to play any Mario games as an adult. I owned Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U and absolutely loved the unique experience of playing the game on that system; the Switch's version is nearly identical with a few minor changes/additions (ability to hold two perks at once for example). The graphics, user interface, & competitiveness is all there in this version... but the added ability to take the Switch with you wherever you go made this game a blockbuster in my opinion! If you own a Switch, this is the game you've been waiting for (besides Zelda BOtW of course!)

This has to be top tier Mario Kart experience. I purchased this digitally and play it on a regular basis with the family. I ultimately had to get the physical copy. Nintendo has done a great job adding additional content for drivers and tracks. Everyone needs to experience this ultimate Mario Kart experience. Recommended for all ages. Especially with the auto turn and acceleration assist. My 3 year old daughter was able to play and feel like she was part of the experience.

This game is awesome! It's a remake of the timeless classic with all the great graphics you expect from the Nintendo Switch. You start off with all the characters and tracks so that's a big plus and you progress through the game unlocking more vehicles and their accessories. It's great playing local multiplayer or even online multiplayer if you need an extra challenge. Lot's of great drivers out there so it's sure to please every skill level.

I originally owned Mario Kart 8 on the WiiU and was initially hesitant to purchase Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Switch because of how much time I put into the WiiU Version. Minutes after popping in the game, my doubts were quickly erased. There have been few changes to the game (able to hold 2 items, additional characters, modes), but the core racing is the same and just as amazing. Being able to switch between playing on the go or at home is definitely the biggest perk for purchasing this version. I highly recommend this game to anyone who has the Switch.

I had this game on the Wii U and loved it and the switch version is even better. The graphics are upgraded, more characters, tracks & new items.

If you can buy only game for the whole family for a new switch in your household. Make it Mario Kart 8. It's perfect in every way. There are various difficulty mode for any age above 5. The graphics are really eye catching and the multiplayer is a lot fun, both Local and online. It comes with all the DLC which includes 48 tracks. I would buy it in a heartbeat. I was able to purchase the game for $35 during Black Friday sale.

This game is so much fun to play! I always enjoyed the Mario kart series. In fact, I have old Mario kart for every old Nintendo console. I own this game on the Wii U also. I was hesitant to buy for the switch since I have it for Wii U. But the game has some improvements over the Wii U. It has much better graphics, more characters, more levels, and online feature. I am glad I got this game! And I got it on sale for $39.99!!!
