Customer Ratings & Reviews

I play this all of the time with my partner who is new to gaming, and as always, Mario Kart is a great game. I like how you get classic Mario Kart feel to such a newer version of the game, with even more diabolical ways to thwart your enemies :)

Love love love this game . I have always loved Mario but Mario kart is elite.

This game is meant to play in a group . I have 4 controllers and it’s the same as when we were kids with the split screen tv . Love the graphics and characters. Great classic Nintendo game that’s a must own . Hours of fun playing against each other.

The game is so much fun to play with friends and family. The game is simple enough for non-gamers and young kids but challenging enough for experienced players. The graphics are beautiful and the game is overall a great addition to your Nintendo Switch Library. Buy it!

This game is so fun and anyone can pick up this game and play it. You can pick up and play a short game or play a whole tournament. Also, the online play is competitive and make you want to hone your skills to master the tracks.

Loved MK8 on the Wii U. But I had to get it on the switch bc of the portable feature so now I can play it on the go. I love the seamless transition of mario kart from the TV to the handheld console. Since the controller packaged with the Switch allows for 2 people, it makes it even better!

It’s a fun game that me and finance enjoy, would definitely recommend it

I grew up playing Mario kart and the fact that I get to play it again is something I’ve never thought I’d ever get to experience again I’m glad I bought this game

Easy and effortless game night! We haven't been much of gamers since we were kids, and myself being more of a gamer than my husband! But this is a modern classic (oxymoron?)! Whether playing by yourself, or with another person or even 4 people, this is guaranteed a fun time!

What else to say other than it's Mario Kart? The deluxe edition on switch comes with all dlc released on the WiiU with a couple extras. Gameplay is fun and addictive, an absolute blast when played with friends either in person or online, or if you play solo and just want to pass the time. Only downside to this version of the game is that most of the characters are unlocked from beginning, so it feels like going through all the different cups, while there is secrets to unlock, not having regular character unlocks makes progression feel tedious. That being said, there are lots of kart unlockables that you'll grind out, so that is something, but the criteria for unlocking kart parts isn't winning races or karts but rather just grinding out coins in races. All in all, while I personally see it as a downside, it doesn't take away from the quality of the game or the enjoyment you can expect from it. It's definitely a solid buy.

Beautiful visuals, innovative and exciting tracks, there's just nothing wrong with this game at all. The auto-steer mode makes it easy for little ones to pick up and play without getting frustrated, while there are plenty of ways to make things terrifying for old hands :)

The latest Mario Kart (technically a re-release) has all the bells and whistles you want from a casual racing game. Graphics look buttery smooth, gameplay is king, and the online works. Don't be expecting a story or anything, just the same old racing and unlocking stuff. Probably not worth full price considering the game is coming up on it's 8th birthday, but Nintendo games RARELY go down in price. Either way, you're gonna have fun with your friends playing on the couch, watch out for the blue shells...

This is a great game for all ages, it’s easy to play and a lot of fun!

A fantastic time all around. Whether you have friends to enjoy this game with you or not, there is plenty to do in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Everything that made the Wii U original game great is present here (as it is a boosted port) and the amount of content and gameplay is sure to have you coming back time and time again. Paired with the easy accessibility of the Switch and the simple controls, this game is a perfect fit for the casual or hardcore gamer, and potentially the most accessible and fun the Mario Kart series has ever been. My favorite feature personally has been the worldwide online races, where 12 people from all around the globe race against one another on tracks voted on by the players. Not to mention the various other modes to keep you entertained both offline and online. If you're looking for games to add to your Switch collection or picking one up for the first time, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is an amazing game through and through.

Great game, very fun, we all play it at home, recommend

Love it. Great game THE FREAKING ONLINE its the most fun part of the whole game,you get to race people all over the world or just japanese people either one, i like how you get 4 suggested tracks that you can pick, that makes it quicker for the race to start and is better for mariokart. i absolutely LOVE how you can say messages because its a fun way to let people know your better than them and you can lie about using tilt controls which is fun. you can play against people from your own country.now this is a nice feature to have because they are all from your country which is cool in my opinion. i really love the tournaments they are really fun and some of the names are funny and make you want to join it which is fun so yeah online is amazing,everything else is eh, 5 stars

My daughter really liked it, she said it was a very nice game and it was so much fun! She loved it because the different cars, maps, characters and racing was so fun. Good buy for the price offered by Best Buy during holidays!

Awesome party game ported to the Switch, Nintendo made sure to release all dlc into one package, and add onto it. New characters, items and vehicles all add to the fun. Do make sure to avoid playing this with actual friends as the rivalry may tear your relationship apart.

I played this on Wii U bought the DLC and enjoyed it so figured why not with the portable ability of the Switch and easy 2 player while traveling. I think its worth it my daughter and I play it on trips. May not be for everyone if you owned the Wii U version on a few new things here.

One of my favorite go-to games on the switch. It has everything jam packed from the Wii U version and more! Online netplay, Faster modes, and so many characters to choose from. Definitely worthy purchase. Great job Nintendo!
