Customer Ratings & Reviews

Tons of customization options and loads of characters make this the best Mario Kart yet and you get the added bonus of being able to take it with you on the go.

The Kids adore this as do we the parents. Highly recommend this game as it is even easy for a 4-yr old to play and offers hours of family fun!

This is an awesome game for the SWITCH! Hours of fun with all the MARIO characters in different cars racing. The different tracks are great!

Perfect gane for my kid. He loves it and plays everyday now.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch is an enhanced port of the original Mario Kart 8 for Wii U. Improvements include new playable characters, new items, the ability to hold two items at a time, all DLC from the Wii U version is included, revamped Battle Tracks that are way more fun to play, 1080p60 FPS in docked mode and 720p60FPS in portable mode. All of these changes and more make it awesome and very fun to play. One of the best Mario Karts.

Got the game in its release date.... awesome game by far the best Mario kart and ability to have it in the big screen or portable makes it all that much better

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 a great racing game to play with the family. Ton of races to choose from and players. The graphics are amazing coming from the switch and me reviewing it in 2024. Hands down a great buy for everyone in your famiy to enjoy.

Loved this game. Play all the time with our family.

Best Game Ever, I’m so happy they remade this game, it takes me back to the original Nintendo 64 Mario Kart!

This game has excellent graphics overall and makes owning a Switch extremely fun. It's your same Mario Kart from previous games with more tracks and vehicles.

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.

With the new updated battle mode and all characters and levels unlocked when you get the game this makes it the ultimate version of the game and a must have.

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!

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!

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!!

Fun game. Lots of kids can join in the fun! They switch characters and play over and over again.

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

Always excited to play Mario kart racing. And now my son is old enough to join in on the fun which makes it even better!

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.
