Fun game. Love it. Shooting shells, bumping carts. I really like the graphics and the different stages to race.

Mario Kart 8 is one of the best racing games around and this Switch version improves upon it. The added battle mode is something that should have been in the original and is as hectic and addictive as ever. However, the biggest improvement to me is being able to play the game on the go. Playing solo on the Switch's gorgeous screen is awesome but being able to pull the Joycons out and have a quick multiplayer session has been a dream come true. It's always been a bummer on past portable games that they required both people to have the system in order to have multiplayer but the Switch's design has now allowed you to past the time with a friend or friendly stranger. And what better pick up and play game is there to share than Mario Kart? Definitely recommended.

Great game! It has a lot of tracks, characters, and vehicles to choose from. You can customize the different karts/cars. Just a lot of fun in every way imaginable, even more fun with friends and family.

This game's crazy fun racing mayhem, and the new auto-steering/acceleration makes it even easier for newcomers to pick it up. It's better with friends, but if you're self-motivated, there's plenty to do on your own too.

I didn't think I was going to get this one - I already have the Wii U version. But my son really really wanted it and he was right; this is the definitive Mario Kart that should be a part of everyone's Switch collection.

characters in the games are big hit with all the family members. lots of things to do to keep you interested and challenged. would definitely recommend this game to friends and family.

Great game to play on the switch system. Easy to play and very fun.

This is my second time buying this game - had it and the expansion on the Wii U. Still a beautiful game years after it was released and a great way to engage with my young son and enter him into the world of Mario. Controls are easy - you can have really basic controls if you use the joycons or more advanced if you use the pro controller or the included adapter that turns 2 joycons into a standard controller. The game’s online functionality keeps your kids safe from anyone acting inappropriately but does not protect them from bad drivers. Overall a wholesome recommendation!

Amazing graphics. Very cute charm. And plenty of characters and race categories to choose from this is an absolute must own. I play this with my 4 year old daughter and she loves it.

Great game! Our little family just lives to play this

This is an update of the very excellent mario kart 8 from the Wii U. If you loved it on the wii u then you'll love it on the switch. Excellent graphics, tons of tracks, updated battle mode, and lots of fun for everyone.

I've skipped the last couple of Mario carts (double dash was the last one for me). This game is true to form, easy to play for the young ones, great polish on an overall classic game formula. Another hit for the switch.

Great game a must have for switch. If Nintendo see this I’m only reviewing because Best Buy keeps spamming my email with “review your purchases and get a 400$ gift card”. I want to see if the gift card is real or some free review scam. Best Buy protection is a must need for all electronics If you follow my reviews, I’ll mention if I ever get a 400$ gift card. (Like the one they promise in the emails)

This blows all the other versions out of the water. It is an upgrade from the Wii U version but do keep in mind all the characters and tracks come unlocked from the start so that may be a pro or con for you.

What can I say. If you love Mario Kart, you'll love this game. Great graphics, gameplay and fun. It's made even better now that you can take it wherever you want since it's on the Switch. Must buy if you own a Switch.

love this game easy to us and fun there expensive but worth it

I owned Mario cart 8 on Wii U and all the dlc. I love the new battle modes and the splatoon map and characters. I like being able to take this anywhere and challenge others. There's no other racing game as fun as this.

Sold my Wii U version so I could get the switch version for one main reason: portability. I cannot believe I can play this game as a handheld. Amazing graphics and gameplay and some of the best tracks in the franchise.

It's simply the best Mario Kart made thus far. If you like any of the previous entries, you will love Mario Kart 8! Add Switch portability, and you've got yourself a great time anywhere you want to play!
