Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been playing Mario cart versions since N64 and this one is a pretty great upgrade. Familiar tracks and characters and then a ton of new ones. The controls are easy and I find less erratic than the originals so you can stay on the tracks which can have different ways to complete them, in each arena. Balloon battle is much improved and way more fun. The graphics are great and make even crazy fast tracks easy to navigate. Fun for the whole family!

Many tracks, cars, characters, and items. This game is worth it if you are looking for the most basic multiplayer game for switch.

If you’re expecting a brand new game in the franchise, you’re going to be disappointed. But Mario Kart 8 was a great game for the Wii U and this Deluxe version for the Switch is a nice upgrade! It adds all the DLC from the original for free bundled in, as well as some additional new characters. This is, in my opinion, Nintendo’s best group game to play with friends! I bring it to family events and play with my sister and cousins, which is always a ton of fun — and now it’s portable on the Switch!

While I wouldn't say it's the best mariokart (double dash for GC) it is definitely the most polished. While it was on the Wii U, on the switch you get the definitive edition with all the bells and whistles. Also you can play it on the go no less! And boy is this game sweet eye-candy on portable mode due to the crispness of the smaller screen. Great game to have mindless fun especially when you play online, you no longer have to wait until someone comes over to play with you like in the times of yore!

My son absolutely loves it. We play it every day now.

I know I did! You won’t regret getting this one it’s just as a addicting as all the others! Get to Best Buy and get yourself Mario kart right now! What are you waiting for? You won’t have lived until you play this one!

I don't like playing the original on N64 - sue me. It controls like a lead balloon and didn't age well, and the nostalgia isn't enough for me to truly enjoy playing it. If I needed a fix, Double Dash was modern enough to do the trick for me. I just recently bought a Switch solely for this and Zelda...and maybe a little for the gimmicky but fun 1 2 Switch. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe alone is worth picking up the console. Take the plunge, and enjoy it with your friends! More video game news and reviews on the 2v1 Podcast on iTunes

Love the game for years...every version is more fun than the last...

Mario Kart 8 was already the best game from the franchise up to date. Even though it is a Wii U game that was ported to the Nintendo Switch system, it brings new characters, new battle modes, and of course, portability. The fact that you can play this, with a friend (without even having to buy a second controller or set of joycons) and on the go, is great, And if you hadn't tried Mario Kart 8 before (lots of people didn't get a Wii U) prepare to be amazed. Graphics, soundtrack, characters, tracks and even the special items!

First, if you aren't a gamer member with Bestbuy you are throwing money away every time you buy a game. This game has everything! It's especially fun once you master the steering wheel(sold separately) and don't need to use the directional buttons. The switch joy con is made to fit hands that are roughly the size of Trumps hands. If you have anything larger than a toddlers hand when playing with the joy con you need the steering wheel. There are tons of characters and vehicles to choose from. So many upgrades. The game is set up for the most novice players to the extremely talented with all the classes and cups available. Better option for party's of adults or children than 1-2 switch. Adults only below this...... Trying playing Drunk Cup The rules are: You are not allowed to drink and drive. You must pull over to drink. You must finish your adult beverage before finishing the race. Good luck!!!!

Awesome game with lots of modes, characters and tracks. Anybody that's a fan of any of the previous Mario Kart games will love this game

It’s a blast to play this game with multiple players. If you don’t mind the $60 price tag on a Wii U ported game, this is the game for you. Personally think the price point is silly but I can’t deny the fun factor this game delivers.

Such a fun, classic game! My boyfriend and I spend a few hours a week playing this on the switch, and its so much fun! There's a ton of different tracks, ways to play, ways to specialize the game for your needs and likes. It's so easy to learn too.

Mario Kart is a classic Nintendo game series. I've played every single entry of the series from the SNES to N64 to GCN to Wii to Wii U to Switch. I've also played the handheld entries of the series. This version of the game for Switch is basically the most current and up-to-date entry. It includes many different characters and race tracks to choose from. On the Switch, you can race with others locally via split screen or online. Honestly, it's a Mario Kart game. It's tons of fun, even playing single player mode.

I'm not a big gamer so please don't underestimate my appreciation for this game. Let's start with the graphics. I can't thank the team behind them enough. The colors, and everything that went into the visuals is beautiful. Colors are really bright and always go well with the intense gameplay. Each track is also a beauty. Not all of the tracks are new, and it's even specified which tracks have been used in other systems such as DS. However, playing this game on a switch is an experience of its own. Doesn't matter if I played Cheep Cheep Beach when I was on my 3DS, playing on the switch was worth it. I've never been into the sound track behind games but each sound track has been so craftfully made. It takes the gameplay to another level, by not only complementing it, but giving it a sweet competitive edge. The antigravity feature is pretty neat; to explain when you bump into other players or the antigravity pieces in the middle of the track you'll be pulled forward with a little boost. With the exception of having all access to vehicle upgrades (available by gaining coins), the cars/wheels/gliders are all cool. A lot of times I see a new vehicle and I'm like, "Wow, they have this as an option!" There's luxury Mercedes Benz, and silly animal like vehicles. The ease of the user interface is like all previous years, but its the tracks that really gets your moneys worth. Sometimes I play and question if I'm playing a game or living in one. If that was the goal of Nintendo, they really came to surpass it. Please do yourself a favor and get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

it took a little time to get used to the controls, but once you've got that down it's a total blast. Maps and characters are awesome.

Love this game. Full nostalgia from playing the 64 games I grew up with. My daughter loves playing this game with me. User friendly and something the entire family can play.

If you have ever played MarioXart you'll automatically know and love this game. I havent found anything new and oustanding about the difference but this is great being portable now and able to just pop in and play immediately. I was even able to play with 4 people on the little screen during a break at work which was hilarious on the little screen and all of us crowding over each other and bumping elbows. Should have come out when the switch was released but worth the wait. If you have a switch... get this game.

Better tracks than old school and of course better graphics. Love as much as the old school with new twist and characters

Love this game! Mario Kart is a classic and I love all of them!
