Mario Kart is left unmatched. Still a great game as it was on the Wii and have had lots of family fun with this game

Probably the best Mario Kart game since N64!! So many tracks and characters. Endless fun and competition. Looks fantastic and the controls feel great. Love this.

Great game for all ages. Easy to play. My 6 year old’s first video game and she learned quickly how to play and use the controllers.

A lot of fun. More racing tracks plus bonus characters you don't need to buy

I loved this game on the Wii U so I decided to pick it up for my Switch and it's even better. It comes with all of previously released DLC and a couple changes to the gameplay like being able to hold 2 items, smart steering which makes it harder to fall off and auto accelerate which makes the vehicle accelerate automatically, these are great for beginners and kids.

The game is great with friends I love playing it with others right next to me. Other than that, I agree with some of the other reviews that this game could use some major improvements. They have relegated the extra power ups so that you only get them if you are in certain positions. So if you are in first you never get shells or invincibility stars or anything like that. So, holding onto the first position puts you at a disadvantage? I would think everyone behind you gunning for your spot was enough of a disadvantage. Really, this does not affect the person in front as much as much as you would expect though because those behind him are now in a firing range where everyone has weapons and are busy slowing each other down. So, if you manage to get out front with a bit of headway its usually pretty easy to win otherwise if your stuck with the masses it can get pretty difficult. I would prefer a fully random draw of power ups. For the more battle royal missions they have added cheap gimmick spots into the maps such as one where there is a ramp onto the walls that players can just stop on top of and take a rest and others cant acually reach those players without going out of their ways to aim just for them.

I recently bought a Switch and had been wanting to get this game as one of the first games for my Switch. Once I saw it on sale, I grabbed it up and play it weekly! I haven’t started multiplayer but I have enjoyed getting used to the tracks. If you have or are thinking of getting a Switch, add this to your list.

This is the first gaming system I’ve bought in a long time. I’m very happy with the overall quality of it. I love having access to the classic games I missed from PlayStation too!

Mario Kart 8 was already among the best Mario Kart games ever with its original release on the Wii U. This enhanced Switch port has all DLC characters and tracks unlocked from the start, as well as additional characters and a completely revamped Battle Mode. If you are a Mario Kart fan, or even just a fan of arcade-style racing, you owe it to yourself to buy this game.

Was late to Mario Kart 8 but got it to play with friends and it was a good time.

This is a great game for the Nintendo Switch. The new smart steering mode lets the less skilled players compete with the experts in your house. If you've played mario cart before, you know how fun it is. If this is your first go, you are in for a treat. Battle mode lets you take on others by collecting items which keeps the game interesting when you get tired of racing.

Mario kart has always been great, but other than 7 and the game boy version, it was all on console, and wasn't handheld. When it was on console it had great graphics, but wasn't portable. When it was on handheld before 8 deluxe, it was portable, but poor graphics. With this version you get the best of both worlds! A portable, visually stunning, experience of Mario kart. Perfect.

Had to buy multiple of these to play online with family members that I grew up with. Connecting with them around the world on the Nintendo family expansion plan and still play the older snes and n64 versions on the switch too. Thanks Nintendo and Best Buy!

Easy game to learn and fun for everyone. Classic game with new courses and features. Updated characters and customizable items. Interactive course map and 4-player option. 2-player online option which is challenging! The online opportunity is cheap and so worth it. We have convinced others to buy the Switch and this game.

So many different tracks new and old. Just to bad all new games make you buy more after spending so much already

Overall a great product, great graphics cute characters fun to play. We love this game it is a great addition to the many versions of Mario Kart! Only issue I have is Best Buys shipping for some items. This one required a signature but not my expensive laptop or my switch.

The best MarioKart game ver made. Very fun for kids and no so kids. It is the perfect game to play with the entire family. Graphics are not much better than the game for WiiU, but it is not important. It includes a lot of tracks and with the different powers you get every race is different.

Mario Kart 8 assembles the best features and mechanics from the various entries into the franchise and makes them truly shine. This is made all the better on the switch with its ability to be on-the-go. There's never been a more satisfying time where you can get your karting on in fantastic HD anytime, anywhere. A must have for any switch owner to add to their collection.

This was first on the Wii U but has been upgraded to the Switch with better graphics and gameplay features. This version is a lot better than the Wii U one and is now the best Mario Kart ever made. If you want the new features on the Switch and being able to take it anywhere then buy it. If you never had the Wii U version you should buy this right away!

Great game for the whole family. The driving assistance features allow my 4 year old son to enjoy the game without getting frustrated. Lots of interesting tracks, drivers, karts and their customization options to keep things fresh for a long time. One of our favorite games on the Switch!
