Customer Ratings & Reviews

Despite my rating, I'm actually not a huge fan of this game. I mainly play games alone, so the chaos of Mario Kart just gets frustrating for me after a while. However, Mario Kart is still a classic party game, so it gets credit for that. More importantly, the new control options make this game so accessible that I can play with my 3-year-old, and even (kind of) my 1-year-old. That means Mario Kart 8 may be the only game out there that allows my entire family to truly play together. And THAT is pretty amazing.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the best game in the series, with an enormous amount of content, and portability through the Switch which is just amazing. I can only nitpick, and of course it has to do with Nintendo's online system... there still really isn't one, and it's just bare bones. No leaderboards, friend codes (UGH) and only versus and battle options. But I've been playing those for days, it would just be nice to have a ranked option with leaderboards. Other than that, this is one of the best games of all time.

Haven’t played this one yet, but my grandkids love it. There are new tracks and characters.

My 6 year old has been playing this since he was 4. He loves this game.

This game provides endless fun. Can be played against other local players or online.

Mario Kart is back! Takes me back to when I used to play on the N64. Amazing graphics and fun to play. Can't wait for Mario World.

Graphics are great, easy game to play and reminds me of the Mario kart I played when I was little!

Niece purchased this game and loves it She is 21 years old

I was a bit skeptic that this version of MK, could deliver the older versions which are now Classics. I was wrong, even though it took me a bit to get used to the difference in the dynamics of steering and drift as supposed to the older versions once I found my groove I was loving the wild and colorful track's and nods to older version tracks. I was so impressed that they could take yet again a simple game premise and give it enough wrinkles to keep it fresh! I love it

Got this game because I used to play it as a kid. Now my own kids can enjoy it too.

Mario Kart 8 is the best kart racing game Nintendo has made in a long time. It strikes a careful balance between refining old ideas while introducing fresh new ones. Admittedly, its gorgeous graphics and jazzy orchestrated soundtrack bolster its presentation, but you’re getting a lot more than just looks with this one – although I spent an awful lot of time gawking at the details in slow-motion, the fast and furious pace of racing with friends both locally and online is what really kept me coming back.

The game is a blast! Threw me right back to middle school playing on the N64! Kids loved it too! We love playing together especially hooking the switch up to the TV and getting some split screen going!

This is a great family game. We enjoy beating each one out for 1st place

I always buy every Mario kart that comes out. Really great game and very nostalgic. This one has more characters and tracks.

Game on its own is a 5 and includes the best mix of old and new tracks. The extra tracks being another cost seems like a money grab from nintendo- that I will likely succumb to. Definitely not necessary though!

Several of the circuits are the old ones and will bring back fun memories.there are also fun new characters, cars, and circuits!

All character are out at the start, all tracks ready to go, and a new battle mode. Awesome pick for the Switch to take on the go.

This game is fun! We have so much fun even when it’s only 2 players. The different cars and graphics are amazing.

Whenever I have friends over, they want to play this game. It has fun levels and all the characters from Nintendo together.

Another game that is great for the switch. A great time when you take it on the go and battle your friends in races. Great fun!
