This a essential for the Nintendo Switch, it improves upon the Wii U version with new characters, some twists on from previous versions, and a cool new VS mode only in this version. Get it now!

Since I was a kid I have always been a fan of kart racers, with of course the first one being Super Mario Kart. This game has taken everything good about Mario Kart and put it all in one game. Plus with the addition of new maps and a whole bunch of classic ones, the game doesn’t feel stale, even after years of release.

Mario Kart 8 is the best Mario Kart to date. Amazing game

Like iterations before this new gen game, the races are much more detailed and varied. all the characters you've played with and more are all back to see who wins. lots of fun.

The graphics are awesome and the races include some of the classics like Moo Meadows. The new characters and different types of cars (like hangliders) make the game so much more fun. The coin challenges like the one in Luigi’s Mansion brings more creativity. Overall it is loads of fun!

This latest iteration of the beloved Mario Kart series is no disappointment. The drafting, the drifting, the drift boosting, the starting line boost, the racing weapons, all of that is here. They have classic maps as well as new ones to feast your eyes on with updated graphics and great definition. I also liked the higher CC classes. I prefer fast racing so the 200CC class was a great addition for the speed demon. A few new weapons as well and you can hold two power-ups at once now as well. The battle rounds are also fun to play and you get to compete with people around the world. Very fun for local multiplayer as well as online play.

Bought this game as my first game because how can you not? It’s dope! I’ve always been a huge Mario kart fan, and this game is great. I love playing with other people. It’s always fun!

This game is a must own for the Nintendo Switch for both people who missed out on the original and played the original. It's includes all of the DLC from the original game, all new battle mode maps, new characters, returning items from previous Mario Kart games such as boo, and a few tweaks to make it much better than the original game. Runs at a smooth 60 FPS in single or 2 player, but frame rate drops with 3 or more players. Which is common and expected. A friend can join split screen to play online. Battle mode is actual battle maps now and adds more fun to the game than the original Wii U version. Controls great with the Joycon and pro controller. Buy this game today!

I waited a long time to pick this game up because we bought the original version for the Wii U and it just didn't seem like enough of an upgrade. Eventually the Wii U went up to the attic so a new version was needed for the switch to keep the kids happy. The additions are well done, the inclusion of battle mode (which really should have been there from the start), the better graphics, and the increased mobility of the switch platform are all appreciated. In the end, it's the most complete Mario Kart game in existence.

Love this game. Great graphics and easy to play. Would definitely recommend for purchase as this game has been around for many many years.

This is a fantastic game system for the entire family. My little Granddaughter, age 6, has been playing MarioKart and LOVING IT. The BEST Birthday Gift for a 6 year old. Patience is required to teach the ins and outs but I’m positive she will be able to play on her own without a little guidance.

Mario kart at its best with some recognizable classic tracks and challenging gameplay

it's Mario kart what else can I say. It takes tracks from older Mario Karts with updated graphics. It also has new tracks as well

So much fun for the whole family with this classic.

Is good game to enjoy with the family, to hold online competitions.

Great new features, especially for inexperienced players. Fun for the whole family! Cool new worlds to race in, plus kept a few of the old favorites. Graphics are amazing!

If you played the Wii U version, or really even the previous entry in the series on the Wii, you know what you're getting. It's a family friendly racing game with iconic characters. This version has upgraded visuals, which aren't that big of a deal to me personally with this style (i.e., Nintendo cartoonish) of visuals. It also has some additional modes. If you like Mario Kart, this is probably the most definitive modern version of the game (even if the original is still more iconic and better to me). It's definitely worth checking out.

Many hours of gameplay are to be enjoyed here. From the long list of tracks and modes this is an excellent party game. The Deluxe version steps it up further with the new content.

Mario Kart games were some of my favorites growing up and I'm glad this exists for the only video game console i now own (Switch). Love the imagery and courses.

Birthday gift for great grandson and it made him excited!
