Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pretty fun iteration of the series. Very enjoyable, looks great, however, it does not offer much to those of us who played the wii U version a lot. From that perspective the $60 price tag can be tough to justify. The updates to the visuals make the game look great, especially on the Switch screen. Plenty of people seem be online already so the community is active and fun.

Great game for the whole family!!! Easy to set up races and easy enough for kids to navigate. Great graphics!

We loved growing up with Nintendo 64 so this game is very loved. The graphics are great and the options easy to choose from.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for Nintendo Switch is an enhanced port of the original Mario Kart 8 for Wii U. Improvements include new playable characters, new items, the ability to hold two items at a time, all DLC from the Wii U version is included, revamped Battle Tracks that are way more fun to play, 1080p60 FPS in docked mode and 720p60FPS in portable mode. All of these changes and more make it awesome and very fun to play. One of the best Mario Karts.

Great game, my 5 year old loves it as much as my wife. Easy to play and has all of the original stuff built in. Highly recommend.

As a owner of Mario Kart 8 on the WiiU I was hesitant about purchasing again, but after playing it on the Switch I'm comfortable saying it's completely worth it. New content is limited to some customizations, characters and the biggest change, new and expanded battle mode. Battle mode was sorely lacking in the WiiU version and welcome to have. And, in case you're wondering, you don't have to unlock any levels or characters again. This version not only looks great, but also plays fantastic and the online works perfectly. Definitely worth your time and money.

We have really enjoyed this and it says something that they have made 8 iterations. They kids have played a lot more than I have it it was fun to see them recognize tracks from other versions they have played and all the friendly competition. It is a great looking game with lots of things to see, unlock, and discover. Great family time (Ages 8-45) It was also nice to be able to split the controllers and have four people playing. I do recommending getting the wheels. We bought the Insignia ones as the nintendo brand wasn't available yet and they have been great too.

Excellent game good for kids and adults 100 % recommend

This game is a lot of fun. It is easy to learn and play and is perfect both docked and on the go. Playing with friends makes for a very fun night.

What can you say - it's a Mario Kart game and it's as fun as ever. Some new twists on tracks and being able to hold multiple items is nice.

This game is super fun with friends and very addictive online! It is a port of the Wii U Mario Kart 8 games with all the added DLC and extra characters. What sold me on the game is you can now hold 2 items instead of just one item in the Wii U version. Nintendo also revamped the Battle Mode. It's as fun as it was on the Nintendo 64 version! With all the new items, characters, Kart options, and revamped Battle Mode, I'd say this is the definitive Mario Kart experience. I had the Wii U version as well and I am loving this game all over again on the Nintendo Switch!!

My grandson loves it, another one added to his collection

one of the best games ever made in the history of games. it does have faults tho, its not at all realistic...the jumps in the game are silly like half a mile jumps!! doing so would destroy those struts/shocks/vertebrea ....I've just realized I have no idea how to spell vertebrae ...oh! I just did it.

Highly recommend this game is fun for the whole family

Fun game. The whole family can get involved. My 5 year old loves the blue yoshi

Bought it for my grandson for his 7th birthday. It was on sale and cheaper than anywhere else and it shipped the next day. He loves it.

My three boys absolutely love this game. Even my 4 year old can play the game and navigate through the options. Great buy, I would buy it again.

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

So, one of my favorite things about this is the ease of multiplayer. Many of my friends also have Switches, and just the local multiplayer alone made this worth buying for me! I own this for the Wii U as well, but have already spent more time on my Switch copy. I also like that it came with all of the DLC plus a classic style battle mode. It was a blast from the past, and much appreciated. If you've already played the original Mario Kart 8 enough to get burned out, this probably isn't for you though. It's the same game with extra stuff. Much better with friends.

My kids loved the game, I also loved it!! Reminiscing Super Mario days!!
