Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great game. Such a great nostalgic game. Love the newer features and updated characters and graphics. As an older player who had been away from the series for a bit, this game has kept all the old magic and added more.

Obviously a must have for switch. Someone in your family will love it most likely all. It's been a blast since the fist one and is even better now. Great fun in the same room with friends and even more online.

great game that really brings old versions with new versions all together. great for generations to enjoy and reminisce and embrace the exciting new levels!

Really happy with this purchase. Beautiful graphics, super fun to play with family and friends.

Very enjoyable game. The racetracks are fun and attractive (and some are very nostalgic), the vehicle customization options are pretty neat, and I love the different local and online multiplayer options. I only wish there was Smash Bros-style item selection, because some of the items (I'm looking at you, blue shell) are pretty gnar, especially for less experienced gamers, and the CPs are BRUTAL with their use of them. A little more explanation of certain features of the game (de/activating smart-steering and fixed camera, base stats for characters before vehicle selection, etc) would be really helpful, but those topics are easily clarified online. Even confused, I couldn't stop playing, so it's fun enough to make up for any of that :)

Who doesn't love Mario Kart, Great courses, and as always multiplayer is epic with friends and families of all ages

I've been playing Mario Kart games since the first one on the Super Nintendo, and I've yet to be really disappointed. Easy-to-learn mechanics, great graphics and a fun selection of characters and levels makes this another wonderful addition to the series.

i could play Mario Kart forever. Always fun and competitive. ONly thing is it's a repeat of the wii u (for the most part). WIsh there was more to unlock or something that was slightly different.

If you have played or owned Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U, then you know what to expect. This is pretty much Mario Kart 8 with all the DLC, plus some exclusives for the Nintendo Switch. Still gives you hours and hours of fun and replay value. Great family game for everyone!

Mario Kart for Switch is awesome! Much better than Mario Kart Wii. It has so many more characters, gameplay options, and vehicles! Also you can either drive with motion controls, or the joy stick. One of my favorite Switch games!

Multiple players great game has tracks from previous mario karts like 64 and 3ds love that you can sit down withe my husband and children and play together eather on teams or race each other.

Another awesome entry in the infamous Mario Kart Series! Lots of cool features and game modes and all your favorite characters are back for another wild ride around some of the craziest tracks. it's fun for both adults and kids alike and I got it for an awesome price.

Mario Kart is a classic! It hardly needs a review! If you’re looking for a fun game to play with family or friends over at your place, THIS is your game, sis! Or take it with you to their houses! The switch is portable, so what are you waiting for?!

So much fun for the whole family with this classic.

I love this game. I play it all the time with my friends. Definitely one of my best purchases.

Bought this game as a present and not gonna lie I play it myself and have a lot of fun in multiplayer mode. Fun to play at home with kids on the big screen and portable. Nintendo knows home entertainment and Mario kart delivers.

I'm upset I had to buy this game again on Switch just to get a proper battle mode the way it should've been on WII U. Even though I bough this game twice basically it is an amazing game and worth it in the end for the new battle mod, how great it looks and the portability!

Coming from the Nintendo Wii's Mario Kart 7, the game is graphically stunning, and there are a variety of new, exciting, and gorgeous tracks with plenty of shortcuts. There are some classic tracks as well as newer ones. There are many options to customize your vehicle (e.g., parachute, wheels). Vehicle customization affects the acceleration, weight, handling, traction, and speed of the vehicle. All of the characters come unlocked, but you can unlock vehicles, parachutes, and wheels by collecting coins throughout the game. Interestingly, there is 200cc, which speeds up the track, so breaking technique is involved. Gameplay: I immediately noticed that MK8D requires a lot of drifting, which is different from MK7 Wii, where drifting is optional. I found it to be more easy to get bumped off the track by heavier players. Unfortunately, some of the boost items (the golden mushroom and star) give you less speed than they used to. The benefit to the star in MK8D is its invincibility, which is a great advantage considering that players can hold up to two items. The green turtles are much more likely to hit you, are much faster, and can bounce off walls. Getting a coin in first place is often frustrating as it is not a defensive item; however, collecting coins increase your speed. Why I Stopped Playing: The item balance is terrible. Even though Nintendo added cool, new items, such as the fire flower, boomerang, ghost, piranha plant, super horn, and the crazy eight, the item balance made the game unbearable for me. Not only can players hold two items but green turtles are faster and have better aim; there are fireballs that can bounce off walls and hit you; the boomerangs can hit you when thrown forward or when it comes back to the player; and you can get hit by a blue shell traveling on the ground. There are not always warnings for these items either; they can come out of nowhere. The game would be perfect if Nintendo rebalanced the items.

Great game, but a bit on the pricey side since Nintendo doesn't believe in discounting anything they produce. Great game, because of its high price I did not give it 5 stars, but that's because at such a high price it should include a lot more. While it's definitely a fun game, it gets repetitive really quickly. I only play it when others come over.

I bought this for our daughter, and she loves it! We would recommend this game to anyone, as it is full of many levels of play. There are a lot of the Nintendo characters and many options for the vehicles.
