Customer Ratings & Reviews

A fantastic time all around. Whether you have friends to enjoy this game with you or not, there is plenty to do in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, this game is a perfect fit for the casual or hardcore gamer, and potentially the most accessible and fun the Mario Kart series has ever been.

We bought this game so that the family can play together, and have fun on nights at home. I have been playing this series of games since Super Mario Kart came out on the Super Nintendo in the early 90's. For anyone who grew up with this series of game, it will not disappoint. All of the popular power-ups are here, which can make the game a bit challenging and fun. The mechanics are easy enough for young children to pick up on. My 6 and 9 year old needed little practice to start playing the game. There is enough variation of game play to keep you coming back, but classic versus racing seems to be the most popular for my family. I think many would enjoy this game, it's simple mechanics, fun battle modes, etc. It has replay value and if you have kids and want to share a fun experience I would pick it up.

10/10 would buy again better than Mario kart world

I'm not sure if I'm just that good at Mario Kart (there's no way I am) or if this is just very easy, as there's no CPU difficulty setting and I often end up lapping other karts. It's fun with friends, though.

Great fun for the whole family! Everyone loves racing cars and you can play with multiple people.

Love the fact it's a game I can play with my kids and have a friendly race.

This is a great way for my family and I to play and have fun.

I’m sure the game is great as it is one of the highest rated and bought, but I returned it to get multiple games for the same cost.

Loads of fun! A must for Switch owners, especially if you are a fan of previous Mario Kart titles. So many characters, vehicles, and tracks to play with!

Love this game! It’s so nostalgic and good to play with friends.

Great game, but a bit on the pricey side since Nintendo doesn't believe in discounting anything they produce. Great game, because of its high price I did not give it 5 stars, but that's because at such a high price it should include a lot more. While it's definitely a fun game, it gets repetitive really quickly. I only play it when others come over.

There isn't much to dislike here. The gameplay is solid, the track designs are beautiful, and the replay ability is endless. With the Switch, you can play Mario Kart with someone anywhere you are because the joycons can be used as two controllers. I visited a girl in the hospital, and brought it with me, and we played this game together. For owners of the Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a must have game.

I was a huge fan of Mario Kart 8 for Wii U. That said, I couldn't enjoy battle mode. Giant courses not designed for battles was never a good formula. Thankfully, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe swaps those courses out for 8 excellent battle arenas. In addition, there are 5 game modes to choose from, so the added variety is appreciated. The rest of the game is a very minor improvement over the original MK8 (all courses including DLC from MK8, new characters to name the most significant). My recommendation is that if you've played MK8 then Deluxe is only worthwhile if you're in it for battle mode. Otherwise the price point is just a little too high for the small increase in content.

this has always been one of my favorite games since I was a kid! I love how the original characters and all their attributes are given a good amount of detail. Very fun game, and very easy to play with my 5 year old!

Fun game for all the family, I would recommend it!

If you missed it on the Wii U because reasons, you need to play it now, especially if you're a Mario kart fan! It's got all the dlc and tracks that were in the Wii U version, but now portable and with the switch you have built in 2 player always, it's great! A must have for any switch owner!

Enjoyable game for the switch, a must have for your collection. Very simple to play and keep family and guests entertained.

We love it!! It was super fun. The powers caught us off guard and the tracks are awesome!

Who cares if switch doesn't have a 4k output? This thing looks amazing! Great tracks. The ability to customise cars is really cool. Since the Wii version they 've modified the way in which you can release objects, making it easier to cover your self while using a single joycons to steer

been a fan of the mario kart series since the super nintendo days. really good graphics, great game to play with friends. With throwback levels remade for the switch, it is really fun for even first time mario kart players. Lots of characters to choose from and many vehicles to choose as well.
