Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

I love this game, it’s so fun to play. I love how they have new characters now to race with.

When I was in high school I absolutely loved playing mario cart Wii with friends, so when I saw they made it for the switch, I immediately purchased it for my neice as a Christmas gift. She absolutely loves it! Its been so fun playing as a family. Definitely recommend (:

MK8 Deluxe is such a great racing game! There are dozens of characters and courses (all unlocked) to choose from and numerous unlock-able vehicle customizations. In this deluxe version of MK8, you get additional features like some new characters, the ability to hold 2 items at a time, and a proper battle mode. It also has "smart steering" for novice drivers who may have trouble staying on track. This feature can be disabled to allow more experienced drivers to take those risky shortcuts. Finally, since it's for the Switch - you can take it with you for racing on the go. <3

Super fun game and love it. My boy really enjoys this game and we rather him play this then you tube videos

Best Buy price matches so that was nice to save some money - the game itself is very fun, the kids love it but so do us adults. Playing it on the big TV with all of us together is very fun. There's a lot of different courses to play so it's not boring and repetitive.

I love, love this version for the DS2. My children and can’t stop playing it.

Mario Kart is the best kart racer ever. Mario Kart 8 is the best in the franchise. Lots of tracks and characters.

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.

We had a lot of fun with playing this game. Great time for families and friends.

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!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the most fun game. The whole family can enjoy the quality time together.

I'll start by saying Mario Kart 8 on Wii U is one of the prettiest games currently on the market. Deluxe is no exception, bringing the experience to the Switch. The return of battle mode is a welcome addition as is the pack-ins on all the original DLC, plus some new characters. If you missed it on Wii U or slept on the DLC, I highly recommend this game. Everything runs great both docked and portable, the new smart steering being great for newbies and younger children. Single Joycon support is also present and works great. If you own a Switch don't miss out on this game.

I've been a big fan of Mario Kart since the 64 days and I can say this installment is probably the best, though I've really only played 64, DS, Double Dash, and this game. Excellent gameplay, smooth controls, beautiful environments, and I loved the fact that they added and remastered some of the maps from the older installments.

Lord of fun lots of different characters and tracks

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

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!!

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.

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.

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.
