Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was an excellent title for Nintendo to port over to the Switch. it has everything I enjoyed about the Wii U version, plus the added portability of the switch and a new battle mode! The portability of the Switch makes impromptu games with friends possible, and very fun!

We pre-ordered the switch and were so excited when it came out. We bought Zelda and were deep into it when Mario Cart was released which meant it set on the shelf for a while but once we got to it we enjoyed it as well. Great for any smaller guests we may have visiting us.

If you loved this game as a kid on the original console, you will love it on the switch!

Mario Kart 8 was terrific on the Wii U, and this deluxe version is even better. With this version all of the DLC is included, giving you a total of 48 courses and 40+ characters to play as. But the best addition is the extensive battle mode featuring 8 arenas and 5 game types, replacing the disappointing battle mode from the original MK8 that was played on a few grand prix tracks. Having all the characters and courses available from the start is great if you've played the game before or if you're eager to jump into multiplayer, but because of that there's not much to unlock aside from kart parts. Also internet play now requires a paid subscription to Nintendo Switch Online, and you may not have as many controllers to use for multiplayer (most people had a few extra Wii remotes to play the original MK8 since they were inexpensive compared to joy-cons).

This is family friendly and fun for hours. I haven't played video games since childhood but this brought it all back. The super mario franchise has always been great family fun for single or multi players.

Flagship game of this console. I would say this and Mario party are the coolest games to play with your children.

Hilarious fun game that takes me back to my youth when playing mario kart on n46. It can get repeptitve for sure with racing the same tracks over and over, or with what tends to happen past the half way point in a race. I am nit picking though, highly enjoyable game.

This is the definite edition of Mario Kart 8. There are so many vehicles and things to unlock in the game, giving it a great replay value. Perfect for those wanting to race online, or with friends, this is a great game for anyone with a Nintendo Switch.

This is Mario Kart, specifically, it's a Switch port of the Wii U Mario Kart with some extra added features. That said, it doesn't mean the game is bad, it comes with all of the DLC that the Wii U version had including 200cc mode which is just insane!

My daughter really loves this game. She is spending rainy days glued to it.

Great experience buying through Best Buy, great customer service and super fast shipping. Great game, as it's a fun way to bond with my son and it also brings back childhood nostalgia as well, which is a bonus!

It’s great to play with family and a lot of fun for the kids. When playing on your own it feels like it’s tough enough on your own yet not crippling to the point of not being able to win a race nor is it so easy you’re always winning.

Awesomely fun. Never go wrong with Mario's. A riot

My daughter loves this game. We play it as a family.

I loved this game on the wii u, and the switch upgrade looks better, has more features, but most importantly the portability is wonderful (and makes me feel like I'd likely be suckered into picking up other straight ports of games I own for the sake of the portability alone).

I liked how you can play with multiple people and have a blast.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is easily the most feature packed game in the series, now with all the DLC tracks (48 tracks in the game altogether!!), a new Battle Mode (finally), and three new characters. Here's hoping they bring back the kart sharing feature from Double Dash someday.

The awful Nintendo tax aside, this is a fantastic game and is 100% worth it when it's on sale, but at the full price of $60 it is a bit of a tough sell.

Best version of mariokart since 64. Best available on switch

Great game and really fun. It’s almost impossible for you to get bored playing it. If so it would take hours because of all of the different races that you can go through and different characters/karts that you can choose.
