Customer Ratings & Reviews

An all time classic that continues to get better! Great courses, great racing controls and great fun. I won't knock a star off but FYI only, the game comes 95% unlocked. One of my favorite features used to be unlocking tracks and racers but Nintendo took a new approach "geared" toward multi-player racing right out of the box.

Can I give it 6 stars??? It's absolutely amazing...I have played this almost non-stop during my free time ever since getting it for Christmas. It brings back memories of playing the older Mario Kart games back in the day. Me and my girlfriend play every chance we get. It's so addicting and by far my favorite game for the Switch.

I bought for my granddaughter she is 8 she asked for this specific game and I decided to get it for her and she loved it

If you're an old school Mario Kart fan it doesn't get much better than this. Updated gameplay with plenty of nods to the classics. And the graphics are incredibly amazing.

I have always been a big Mario Kart fan, however this game exceeded my expectations. The graphics are incredible and it has that stereotypical Mario charm that we come to expect from Nintendo products. It is easy enough for beginners, but can be difficult enough for seasoned vets. It's even better when played with friends.

[Employee of bestbuy] This game is the PERFECT Mario game for both single player and multiplayer. Perfect for families as well.

After adding another controller, this game has been hours of fun for everyone in my home. It creates nostalgia by letting you play with the people next to you and quickly become a staple of family game night. A ton of highly detailed levels, characters and vehicles along with a simple control scheme made this game a must have

This was the first game we bought for our Switch. Having come from the Wii, these are all new levels to us and love the new mechanisms. I really like the hover/anti-grav mechanism with all the course twisting and spinnning. Over all another classic MARIO kart that meets expectations and is an easy go to for the whole family.

Every in the house plays plus it's portable! Amazing game!

Best Mario Kart to date. I played Mario Kart 7 for some time and I loved it. I have felt that this rendition of Mario Kart 8, being on Switch, is definitely the best way to play! Highly recommend if you have siblings/friends or just want to enjoy some karting.

Very, very fun game….a heavy addiction that just never goes away. Nintendo always seems to find more improvements/ innovation s either especially in graphic s and creativity. Mario has been around since the late 1980s. That is Nintendo s bread and butter.

I love Mario Kart 8. I originally rented it from Vintage Stock when it released on the Wii U to play with my cousins one weekend. However, I found I enjoyed the game so much I bought the copy I rented and never returned it. It is even better on the Switch -- especially since the battle mode on the Wii U was useless. I haven't played battle mode much on the Switch, but what little I've played is far more enjoyable than the Wii U version. If you've never played Mario Kart 8, own a Switch, and enjoy Mario Kart games, I highly recommend this game. However, if you've already sunk hours into the Wii U version, bought the DLC, and don't care about portability or battle mode, it isn't worth spending the $60 to re-purchase.

Fun Game. Also prepping for E sport competition!!!

Great game for the kiddos and great customer support at Best Buy

It's Mario Kart. If you have played Mario Kart before, it has nothing unexpected: same basic gameplay and same basic fun. The most different thing is the fact that you don't need to buy an extra controller to get 2 player, which is the only way to really play this game. If you have any friends then this game is a must buy.

This game is very fun. There are a lot of different venues, all of which are greatly detailed and fun to pass through. There are various types of races as well as various speeds. You can play by yourself or online with friends. There are many different characters to choose form and you create your own car. I find it very enjoyable.

Honestly, there's not much more to say. It's Mario Kart, for the Switch. Plays exceptionally well - pick a character, build a cart from body, tires, and parachute (all of which affects handling/speed/acceleration/etc) race around the tracks and hope to win. Multiplayer is quick and simple to set up. Blue shells are a pain.

Not much to be said about this game. It's a great version of Mariokart. Some cool enhancements to the wii u version. I bought this to keep it sealed and display in the collection. I have the digital version and it's the family's go to game to spend time.

Beautiful graphics and fun to play with the whole family!

Fun for the whole family. Up to 4 can play at a time.
