Kid's love this game, I would recommend, also brings back the memories from the older mario kart game

Mario Kart 8 is so much fun! I thought it would be boring because we have a bunch of other racing games, but there are different types of battles and arenas. It’s pretty fun!

This was a gift for a grandson and he absolutely loves it !! He is so into video games but he’s only allowed 2 hours a day to play. This is his go to game. He is 6 years old but on a 9 year old level in school. Good game for any age !!

I got mario kart 8 in wii u before. It is a very fun and good game. It needed to buy extra DLC for characters/stages in wii u. The bad side is that is an old game re-make to nintendo switch. The good side is to buy this deluxe version to have all the characters/stages and no need to buy extra DLC. :)

MK8 Deluxe is a great party game. If you never, ever want to see the people you play with ever again. It includes all of the DLC from the Wii U version and you don't have to unlock any of the tracks, just the kart parts. Just be warned, you will hate your friends for days after playing with them.

My son is 5 years old and this is a great game for his age group, as well as his sister who is 12, and my husband. They love playing this game and normally play with the Nintendo Switch Steering Wheel we bought to go with this game.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said about this game. Must buy for any switch owner. Such a fun game to play solo or with people you know or don’t know. I can grind it for hours or play for 15 mins and get enjoyment out of it.

Mario Kart is such a vibrant and exciting game! It's fast and chaotic, but in a wonderful way. Having played the Wii U version I waited to get this on sale but I love it all the same. The nice thing is that it includes the previous DLC and extras. It makes an excellent party game!

We've played this one a ton! I bought it for my son/family. He'd been playing a lot of apps in which characters are running by default and you just have to tap to jump or swipe to move. We tried a couple of side-scrolling console games but you need to be a bit more coordinated developmentally to move and jump at the same time. Racing games end up being a nice transition as you just have to hold the 'go' button and then steer. Not much to coordinate or time in general. Mario Kart though does have power ups and jumping/turning that do add this coordination piece, but given the different difficulty settings, we're able to have a lot of fun and success with this one!

Best game I’ve bought so far would recommend to anybody for a fun adventure gaming

All the issues the Wii U version had, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe fixes them. Most notably the battle mode of course, finally it's back arena style. Plus lots of fun modes to play too. Drifting has been improved with the ultra mini turbo. Load times are faster. It's just the definitive Mario Kart experience.

The game overall is a lot of fun. I would recommend. It is family friendly and a great option for family game night. I would recommend getting a second controller. After playing a while on 2 player using the small Switch controller, your thumb will start to hurt after a while.

I purchased this game on the WiiU and loved it enough to buy it again on the Switch just for the portability. It is mostly the same game with the difference being everything is already unlocked on the Switch version. Would highly recommend as it is a staple for any Switch owner.

I bought this game to go along with the Switch as a present. I actually played against her and thought it was pretty fun! Would buy again.

Christmas gift for our daughter. She had been asking for this game, she loves playing it with her brothers.

How can you not love mario?! Also wish they did updates on it to add characters and make it more customizable in a sense. Still a solid game!

Sharing nearly the same content as the Wii U version, this game includes all the DLC and brand new battle modes. As a long-time fan of Mario Kart, this entry hits the spot in almost every way. Fun and easy to control with wonderful visuals and music. Always fun to play either alone or online.

Everytime I play Mario Kart I feel like a kid again. Mario Kart 8 still has all the good feels, and great graphics to boot. Different controller configurations are super cool too for steering with a remote or using the handheld.

Mario kart 8 has so many features to enjoy from. It offers new courses and at the same time courses from the wii and gamecube. It’s overall a great game to play as a single player due to online interaction. It is also a great game to compete with family and friends at home. Highly recommend!

Great game for my great grandson whom loves it and keeps him entertained.
