Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pretty fun iteration of the series. Very enjoyable, looks great, however, it does not offer much to those of us who played the wii U version a lot. From that perspective the $60 price tag can be tough to justify. The updates to the visuals make the game look great, especially on the Switch screen. Plenty of people seem be online already so the community is active and fun.

What can you say - it's a Mario Kart game and it's as fun as ever. Some new twists on tracks and being able to hold multiple items is nice.

As a owner of Mario Kart 8 on the WiiU I was hesitant about purchasing again, but after playing it on the Switch I'm comfortable saying it's completely worth it. New content is limited to some customizations, characters and the biggest change, new and expanded battle mode. Battle mode was sorely lacking in the WiiU version and welcome to have. And, in case you're wondering, you don't have to unlock any levels or characters again. This version not only looks great, but also plays fantastic and the online works perfectly. Definitely worth your time and money.

This game is a lot of fun. It is easy to learn and play and is perfect both docked and on the go. Playing with friends makes for a very fun night.

We have really enjoyed this and it says something that they have made 8 iterations. They kids have played a lot more than I have it it was fun to see them recognize tracks from other versions they have played and all the friendly competition. It is a great looking game with lots of things to see, unlock, and discover. Great family time (Ages 8-45) It was also nice to be able to split the controllers and have four people playing. I do recommending getting the wheels. We bought the Insignia ones as the nintendo brand wasn't available yet and they have been great too.

My son absolutely loved this game! Me and my husband also both enjoy playing with him.

Absolute blast, also My 6yo and 3 year old actually get along when this is on so thats cool

Honestly this is the best Mario Kart you can get, unless you have a nostalgic attachment to an older one I can't see why you would consider any other one better. They fixed the awful battle mode in the Wii U version, and have all the dlc tracks included too. Just about my only complaint is not giving us the Mii Racing outfits free in this version, and maybe some nostalgic tracks I'd like to see back.

Super fun game to play with friends or family! highly recommend for anyone wanting to have some fun with friends

This game is super fun with friends and very addictive online! It is a port of the Wii U Mario Kart 8 games with all the added DLC and extra characters. What sold me on the game is you can now hold 2 items instead of just one item in the Wii U version. Nintendo also revamped the Battle Mode. It's as fun as it was on the Nintendo 64 version! With all the new items, characters, Kart options, and revamped Battle Mode, I'd say this is the definitive Mario Kart experience. I had the Wii U version as well and I am loving this game all over again on the Nintendo Switch!!

Awesome game I play it all the time especially with friends and family connect it to the tv and looks good

My three boys absolutely love this game. Even my 4 year old can play the game and navigate through the options. Great buy, I would buy it again.

Bought this to play with my grandkids. Easy enough even an oldster like me can play it. Graphics are incredible.

My two children love this game. They love to race with each other. The graphic of this game is very nice and the Mario characters were cute.

This game brought back so much nostalgia. The only reason I put 4/5 stars is because you have to pay extra to unlock the old roads but either way this game is always fun for house parties.

This was a gift for my girlfriend and she loves this game. Shes plays it every time she gets a chance and has fun playing it.

So, one of my favorite things about this is the ease of multiplayer. Many of my friends also have Switches, and just the local multiplayer alone made this worth buying for me! I own this for the Wii U as well, but have already spent more time on my Switch copy. I also like that it came with all of the DLC plus a classic style battle mode. It was a blast from the past, and much appreciated. If you've already played the original Mario Kart 8 enough to get burned out, this probably isn't for you though. It's the same game with extra stuff. Much better with friends.

With the most characters and the most stages of any Mario Kart. Plus a battle mode and online multiplayer. One if the best Games on the Switch.

An excellent purchase to have a great time with the family, Mario games never fail and even more so when it comes to local multiplayer. I highly recommend it and better if you buy the DLC of more tracks and characters. Great fun.

This is a port of the Wiiu game. If you liked that one, you’ll like this one. If you missed that one, you should definitely try this one.
