Customer Ratings & Reviews

Another fun iteration of Mario Kart! Got this for my daughter for Christmas. We enjoy racing each other and all the tracks included. There are also remakes of some classic tracks that brings back some memories of the older games.

Having already paid for the original version on Wii U and the DLC, I was completely against purchasing this for the Switch. After much debate with my husband, we finally decided to give the Wii U version to a friend that has neither the game nor the switch and purchase this version... I'm so happy that we did! The new battle modes are amazingly fun, the portability of the switch makes this a great game for parties, and it's just as fun as ever! I even feel like it controls a little better than the Wii U. LOVE it! I recommend you buy it!

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!

AMAZING!!! All the fun of the original with really well update graphics, boards, characters, and karts! MUST BUY!

If you can buy only game for the whole family for a new switch in your household. Make it Mario Kart 8. It's perfect in every way. There are various difficulty mode for any age above 5. The graphics are really eye catching and the multiplayer is a lot fun, both Local and online. It comes with all the DLC which includes 48 tracks. I would buy it in a heartbeat. I was able to purchase the game for $35 during Black Friday sale.

My Godson loves it plays it everyday can’t get enough

Mario Kart has continued to impress in an almost perfect manner ever since N64. This version is no different. It is beautiful and easy to get started with for the newb and seasoned vet. My only concern has been the controls. Sometimes the gyro steering works, sometimes it requires the analog stick. That said, I spent no time looking for the setting.

Best game for switch helps me get through my day and staff was really friendly

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.

Very fun game to play with friends on the big screen. There are tons of characters to choose from and many tracks as well. Great graphics.

Love love love this game . I have always loved Mario but Mario kart is elite.

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

This game is so much fun to play! I always enjoyed the Mario kart series. In fact, I have old Mario kart for every old Nintendo console. I own this game on the Wii U also. I was hesitant to buy for the switch since I have it for Wii U. But the game has some improvements over the Wii U. It has much better graphics, more characters, more levels, and online feature. I am glad I got this game! And I got it on sale for $39.99!!!

Everyone knows how good this game is. It's pefrect.

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.

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!

Mario Kart 8 is less of a racing game and more of a chaotic family reunion where everyone brings banana peels and red shells instead of potato salad. One moment you’re gracefully drifting around corners like a professional racer, and the next—BOOM—a blue shell drops out of nowhere and reminds you that life is cruel, and Mario is laughing at your pain. The graphics? Beautiful. The tracks? Insanely creative. The friendships? Non-existent, because nothing says “love you, bro” like hitting your buddy with three green shells and then waving as you cross the finish line. This game has taught me two things: 1. Never trust someone holding a lightning bolt. 2. Luigi’s death stare is the scariest thing in gaming history. 10/10 would rage quit again.

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!

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