Customer Ratings & Reviews

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch is an enhanced port of the original Mario Kart 8 for Wii U. Improvements include new playable characters, new items, the ability to hold two items at a time, all DLC from the Wii U version is included, revamped Battle Tracks that are way more fun to play, 1080p60 FPS in docked mode and 720p60FPS in portable mode. All of these changes and more make it awesome and very fun to play. One of the best Mario Karts.

I remember when I was a little one playing Mario Kart with my friends and family. I was terrible at first but over time became the best but no matter what the tracking shells still drive me crazy. lol I haven't had one since I was a kid so now that I have a little one of my own I have decided to get a switch along with this game to continue the tradition of playing games like this together because I've always been fond of these memories. Thank you for continuing to create this game after years and years.

Got the game in its release date.... awesome game by far the best Mario kart and ability to have it in the big screen or portable makes it all that much better

Super fun, been playing since I was a child. Highly recommended

This game has excellent graphics overall and makes owning a Switch extremely fun. It's your same Mario Kart from previous games with more tracks and vehicles.

So, yes, this is a slight upgrade to the Wii U version of Mario Kart 8, but no enough people bought a Wii U to really notice. This game is pure Mario Kart joy, and with the Switch, you will always have an extra controller for your friend to play with you on the train/plane/wherever. The game looks stunning and runs silky smooth in docked mode as well as handheld mode. The unlockables will keep you racing for hours and hours, and the online is very fun. Also, if you have friends that have a Switch, you can all play wirelessly without wifi. It's amazing.

This is a very nostalgic game to play with family and friends! I love racing against my fiance

With the new updated battle mode and all characters and levels unlocked when you get the game this makes it the ultimate version of the game and a must have.

Endless fun playing with my kids and friends. I recommend.

Mario Kart is still the king of kart racing. The auto drive and auto steer make it easy for young children to enjoy it with the rest of the family!

I loved Mario Kart on the Wii, and this updated version does not disappoint! The graphics are incredible just as I imagined they would be. Hours of fun!

This is by far my son favorite game. There’s plenty of characters to choose from and lots of new and exciting tracks to race on. Over all great game!!

This game is not only fun for children but it's also fun for any age it has smooth graphics and great tracks especially if you like a sense of nostalgia

Absolutely LOVE this game!! It’s like playing all of the Mario Kart games, but they’re all modernized & beautiful. Would recommend this to anyone with a Switch!!

What a great game 10/10 best group game for playing with friends or family

This is mostly the same as the previous couple installments but it's for the Switch and includes some new features such as multiple items and Splatoon characters. I believe some modes may be new too. The online multiplayer is also more challenging than vs cpu. Local multiplayer was simple with the joycons and some inexpensive wheel grips. Though, it still required changing the layout through the system, not the game. Ultimately, I prefer the Pro Controller with this game most if you can. Though it's not necessary at all, I think the game is more responsive to its precision.

Fun Game. I used to play Mario Kart DS a lot as a kid so this game is a total upgrade definitely recommend.

You can't go wrong with Mario Kart. It's for fun all ages. Easy pick up and play for kids as well with assisted driving. Well worth it if you have a Switch.

I own a Wii U and Mario kart 8 and that didn't stop my from trying Mario kart 8 Deluxe. I love the new modes and having it in portable is a dream come true.

I love the game I’ve been a fan since I was a little kid and just very happy with the game.
