Awesome game easy to play, great for younger kids .

Mario Kart has long been one of the best "Party Games", and this version is no exception. I have a five year old niece who can pick this up and play it alongside her mom, dad, and me. Lots of vehicle types to choose from, lots of items to unlock, and the hilariously enjoyable gameplay that has long been a hallmark in this series. This was one of my first purchases after picking up a Switch, and i was not disappointed. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for something fun and enjoyable to pick up and play with friends or family

Mario cart had been a favorite for me since I was younger and it keeps getting better!

This is classic Mario Kart pick-up-and-play action. Putting this level of epic good hearted competition in a small enough package to fit in your pocket? What more could you ask for?!

One of the greatest games of all time. I play this with friends back east, with my girlfriend at home, and even just against the computer, always an awesome time!

We had this for our Wii U but it's so much more fun on our Switch. The graphics are amazing and there are lots of crazy fun races. Using the tilt controls makes it a little more challenging :)

The best multiplayer game in the Switch library There are a lot of tracks and racers to choose plus the multiplayer online and offline, you can even take a buddy locally online with you co op

If you're a fan of Mario kart this is hands down the best version. Not only can you play this on your tv, you can take it on the go! All your favorite racers, cars and items unlocked. Great game

Fun game, easy for older people (that's me) to understand and play. Love the choices and graphics. Competitive game, but fun.

This a essential for the Nintendo Switch, it improves upon the Wii U version with new characters, some twists on from previous versions, and a cool new VS mode only in this version. Get it now!

Great game for parties, hanging out with friends, and online gameplay. A classic game to have.

This was a fun game to play with the family kids just loved it

Overall a great game, lots of character selections and track selections, some tracks are a great throwback to previous games.

Love the game! Would recommend for all family gaming!

Great family fun! We love playing this in a family atmosphere. It is awesome.

Awesome game, so many tracks to race on, which include updated tracks from previous mario kart games. Anyone can pick up and play this, regardless of age. Fun for the whole family!

Bottom Line: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is simplistic enough for young family members to play but has enough features and diversity to keep parents engaged. After doing a bit of research, I thought Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would be the perfect game to play with my five year old. The game is very accessible, since the easiest mode has auto accelerate and all small children have to worry about is steering (even this seems optional at times). The races are just about the right length to keep my daughter interested, and we’ve been having a lot of fun playing this game together.

Love this Mario Kart version! So many tracks and characters it feels like endless options! Lots of fun to play and my grandson loves it!

This game is a must own for the Nintendo Switch for both people who missed out on the original and played the original. It's includes all of the DLC from the original game, all new battle mode maps, new characters, returning items from previous Mario Kart games such as boo, and a few tweaks to make it much better than the original game. Runs at a smooth 60 FPS in single or 2 player, but frame rate drops with 3 or more players. Which is common and expected. A friend can join split screen to play online. Battle mode is actual battle maps now and adds more fun to the game than the original Wii U version. Controls great with the Joycon and pro controller. Buy this game today!

Bought this game as my first game because how can you not? It’s dope! I’ve always been a huge Mario kart fan, and this game is great. I love playing with other people. It’s always fun!
