    The best Mario Kart since 64

    I still play Mario Kart 64 religiously, but I think 8 Deluxe is edging it out. There's something so perfect about every mode and I don't have to use the old worn out 64 controller. Some of the A.I. is a little rubberbandy and the spiked shell is pure evil, but it's always a good time.

    The game play of Mario Kart is spectacular. It's also a great game for all ages and skill levels. Right out of the box the game is tuned to assist those who aren't veterans of the series. The game is also beautiful. All of this results in the strongest release of the Mario Kart franchise. The only qualm I have with the game is I wish they gave the player more incentive to come back and play the single player mode. It would have helped if there were a number of characters to unlock based on progress and achievements. However, since this is a deluxe addition, everything is there from the get go which some may prefer. Overall this is a fantastic family friendly game.

    Bought this on a recommendation of friends as a “starter” game for the brand new Nintendo Switch. We have since purchased several more games but this one remains an absolute favorite. It seems to be fun for all ages and ability levels and doesn’t really grow old like many other games.

    Mario Kart is an institution. It will never not be a fun game. That said, there are too many carbon copy characters. Mario, Baby Mario, Tanooki Mario, Metal Mario, Peach, Baby Peach, Cat Peach, and Pink Gold Peach. Why do we need padding when it comes to the same characters? I hope Mario Kart is slowly going the way of Smash Bros. Playing as Link and the Splatoon kids, not to mention Animal Crossing characters, feels like a natural progression. All the more need for new characters in the Mario Kart universe, not carbon copies!

    Got started playing this while babysitting. Got whipped in a few races by a 9 yr old. Then my nephew got me playing it. At 35, I was a bitter Betty sore loser lol. Fun to play, like all the different worlds/ tracks. Entertaining as one or multi player

    I have always enjoyed this game starting with the Wii, and this version did not disappoint! It’s visually dynamic and challenging…never gets boring! I bought this for my son and he loved it almost as much as me!

    They should make award categories for ports and remasters. This easily the best of the series and even though it's a remaster/remake of the WiiU title- it looks, feels, and plays like a brand new game. Next to BOTW, this is my fave Switch game.

    Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a sort of "Game of the Year" remastered version of Mario Kart 8 for the Nintendo Switch. It comes with all of the previously released DLC and maps, has over 20 racers and tracks to choose from. If you enjoy a great party game, I can't recommend this game enough. Beware the Blue Shell.

    This game has been out for years and it is still just as fun today. Looks good on the Switch and even better when connected to a TV. If you are looking for a family fun multiplayer game then this is it.

    A Great Game To Play Alone Or With A Group Of Friends. The Gameplay Is Awesome No Lags No Freezing Everything Thing About This Game Is Great. This Is The Deluxe Version And That Means It Come With New Players, New Tracks, And A New Battle Mode. I Would Highly Recommend This Game Its A Must Have.

    This was a fantastic game on the Wii U and I love that it made it to the Switch. With a pro controller it handles perfectly! The graphics seem like they got a little boost and with all the DLC included it just feels more complete. Also the new multiplayer modes are some of the best in the series!

    This is like the monopoly of video games. Mario Kart never gets old, and if you're consistently good, no one wants to play with you haha I absolutely love this game but I wish that they would add some DLC tracks because it does get a little repetitive after a while.
