Love!!! I knew it was going to be a great game before I got it!

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.

Definitely a very fun and competitive game! Fun for all ages

Fun Mario kart game for family to play oh ours of fun

The game is excellent, but this review is for the employees of the Springfield IL Best Buy. After a snafu with the curbside pickup system, they made a huge effort to take care of my daughter and I. Incredible service. Made our night.

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.

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.

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

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

My girlfriend loves this game. It brings back her childhood memories when when she was playing on her Nintendo 3d.

Havent really played any mario games since i was a kid, but years later its still a blast to pick up! Definitely recommend especially if you have friends or family come over.

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.

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.

My girls love this game! I’ve hesitated purchasing due to the price, but I purchased as a Christmas gift and they’ve loved playing it! I would recommend also purchasing the “racing wheels” for playing 2 player on a television, but 1 player works well as the handheld.

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.

Beautiful graphics and fun to play with the whole family!

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.

I do own the Wii U version of Mario Kart 8 with the DLC's and now Mario Kart 8 deluxe for the switch. Bringing back battle mode in the deluxe version does breathe new life this ported version. This one is a no-brainer to buy if you are new to Mario Kart 8 but it may be worth waiting for a price drop if you already own the Wii U version.

I'm a big fan of the series. I grew up with Mario and it's cool that my kids love it too. I like that the kids can play for an hour and put it away bc it's not a long role playing game. They keep entertained and will replay it over and over. They don't have to wait for their sibling to play with bc they can play with others online.
