Customer Ratings & Reviews

I owned Mario Kart 8 on the WiiU but am glad I made the decision to purchase the Deluxe version on the Nintendo Switch. The game was already among the best Mario Kart titles, with smooth graphics and controls, fun new courses, and a tasteful selection of classics. The addition of a full-featured Battle Mode makes multiplayer that much more fun, especially the return of my favorite mode, Shine Thief. The game also features all of the DLC tracks from the WiiU version, many of which were among the best courses in the entire series.

This is the best version of the best Mario Kart game. It looks great, plays great, and is tons of fun to play with friends or by yourself.

Love Mario kart. This version is packed with karts and racers and tracks. Looks amazing on my big screen and in handheld.

Very fun game. Easy to learn but harder to master. Perfect for groups

Having a console Mario Kart game on the go has been a dream of many Nintendo fans. With the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe that's finally a reality. This game was my favorite Mario Kart when it initially released on the Wii U and having a Deluxe version for Switch is truly incredible. Additions of new characters, karts, and a completely revamped battle mode make this game truly worth the purchase, even if you already bought it for the Wii U. The updated graphics look amazing and make this game even prettier than it was before.

I've been a fan of the Mario Kart series sincentives the SNES and this is the best of them all. Fun with friends, by yourself or online.

This is the same game as the wii u version just in case you think its a new kart game. Still a bunch of fun and now very portable as well

Awesome game, very fun with the various characters and themed locations. Would highly recommend!

It's just fun, the wheeled controllers are smaller than expected, but they're decent. The tracks and gameplay are fantastic

It’s a blast with multiplayer. We’ve unlocked all the vehicles and accessories but that doesn’t matter, the amazing tracks and fun music never get old. My one complaint: the computer cheats.... When trying to unlock all the stars in Grand Prix mode you can be in first place the entire race then the computer will bombard you with blue shells, red shells and lightening before you can cross the finish line. I’ve lost so many races that way, it gets annoying. On my second try the computer calms down, so not too bad.

Took a long time to get Mario Kart. But as a fan of the original on the SNES, this was a must have!

Previously a Wii U exclusive but alas has made its way to the Nintendo Switch and for good reason. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe uses everything from its predecessor and more, All content which also includes all DLC tracks and characters with more additional characters and a proper battle mode as well. If you owned this on the Wii U no need to rush and buy but if you're a Switch owner it is a must buy, from single player to online multiplayer and even local multiplayer is not only available in the comfort of your home but on the go too.

Really great gaming experience. Smooth as butter, great music, fun sound effects, very immersive. We've come a long way from Kart 64. I haven't really played much video games since the N64 (skipped both the Wii and WiiU, so I kinda feel like an old man jumping back into the World of Nintendo). It's made me feel like a kid again, and with how much stress I've been under these last few years with my health... that's a pretty big deal to me. Thank you, Nintendo.

A lot of fun for the whole family, great online capability to play with friends. Would Recommend

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a great edition of Mario Kart! For those that own Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U, this is only a slight upgrade. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe includes all of the DLC and Battle Mode, among many other tweaks that make this a great experience. These include: better resolution, frame-rate and game-play (sliding mechanism enhanced). For those that do not own Mario Kart 8, but own a switch, this is a great buy, and for those that do own Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U, this is still a great buy if you are an avid Mario Kart fan.

Great version of Mario Kart 8, with all of the DLC from the Wii U version. A lot of fun with family and friends, must have for the Switch!

Having not played any Mario Kart since 64, I'm pleasantly surprised at the graphic quality as well as the ease of playing for beginners

I skipped out on the Wii U version, but as someone who played most of the games since Super Mario Kart, this game is really well done. 4 Player couch multiplayer is great, as is the online play which is quite challenging. Even single player pushes you to the limits at the upper CC's. More importantly, the game looks beautiful. There are more tracks than ever, and the tracks that are inspired by other games bring back a lot of memories. (And hopeful expectations that those titles will make their way to the switch as well)

If you enjoyed previous mario kart games, you will easily enjoy this one. Better graphics, more characters. Easy choice.

Had this game on the Wii U, but the new battle mode and being able to take it on the go made it a no-brainer to pick up for the Switch.
