Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you have ever played a Mario Kart game before, this is everything you know plus more. The controls are great, visually the game looks beautiful, and there are plenty of playable characters from all of your favorite Nintendo games. I will say that two adults using joycons to play this is a bit tight, but doable.

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

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

I wasn't expecting much from the new version of MK8, but the Deluxe version is definitely superior to the original. New Battle Maps, all the DLC from the original, along with some gameplay tweaks make this the version to own. The fact that this can be played portable allows it to also replace your 3DS Mario Kart. Recommended.

This is the best Mario Kart game to date! Superb courses, nice characters and super smooth game play with a stable 60 fps. Also for time-trial fanatics there is enough to do with a Nintendo ghost to beat in every level and courses that let you master them in every detail, This is a no-brainer for every Nintendo Switch owner

Mario Kart is a staple on Nintendo and thy didn't slack on this one either. This game is super fun.

This is such a fun game across all platforms. I assumed it would be just like playing on the wii, but this game has been revamped and is even more fun than the old version!! My kids hardly get alone, but they get together and have the best time playing together with this game. Game changer!

I feel like most people know what they are getting when they are looking at this game. I’m not going to get into too much detail about the gameplay, but I’ll advertise it this way… one of my kids lost our case with about 15 games in it. This was the first game I purchased after finally giving up looking for it because of the playability for everyone. It’s worthy of a rebuy for sure.

By far the funnest game I play on my new switch! Remotes can be used to steer or you can with the joystick, lots of people can play at one time, amazing graphics, lots of tracks so don’t get easily bored! 10/10 recommend!

I was worried when I saw this was just going to be a remaster of MK 8 for the Wii U (which was great). It is that and so much more. It is almost like it was completely designed for the switch. I will say that the wheels for the JoyCon's are very small and hard to get used to but using them as normal controllers works great.

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

Best game ever. Came so quick and easy to buy. Sad they took the movies/games out of the actual store.

Mario Kart 8 deluxe for the Nintendo Switch is a fantastic addition to the Switch library. The game expands from it's original counterpart, adding new characters and a new expansive battle mode. Newcomers to Mario Kart or people who missed on Mario Kart 8 will be most certainly be satisfied with this game. However, to those who already own Mario Kart 8, the game does not really add enough to rebuy the game. While the new battle mode is great it's not really worth the $60 dollar price tag and the new characters are also a good reason for the price tag either, it's real selling point is that it's now portable but if your switch is 90% home console. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe could be a skippable title

My very first Nintendo game was Super Mario Kart. Mario Kart is still my go-to game for multi-player fun on Nintendo consoles. This one is very familiar since it is very much like the Wii U game but now I can take it anywhere. The new feature to keep racers on the track automatically is great for young players.

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.

Fun game that my family can play on the go. Everyone loves Mario Kart

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.

Kid loves it, was the hit Xmas present even my youngest likes the game.

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.

Family Fun! Love that hubby and I can play with the kids (4 and 7). A little family competition with the kids first console video game has been a great experience.
