Customer Ratings & Reviews

Mario Kart 8 is a beautiful, fun kart racer that introduces sound new ideas to Nintendo’s 22-year old franchise. While it doesn't reach Double Dash-levels of risk and experimentation, Mario Kart 8 builds on the series' most essential aspects better than any of its predecessors. Twisting U-turns, a blistering sense of speed, skillful track designs, robust tournament and online features, and gorgeous graphics fall into lockstep all at once. The end result shouldn't come as a surprise: Mario Kart 8 is the king of the mascot kart circuit, and it gave me hours of enjoyment.

This is the best Mario kart to date. It has a lot of characters and tracks. Keeps the gameplay interesting.

Runs smooth, great tracks, great character selection

Best Buy price matches so that was nice to save some money - the game itself is very fun, the kids love it but so do us adults. Playing it on the big TV with all of us together is very fun. There's a lot of different courses to play so it's not boring and repetitive.

Really great gaming experience. Smooth as butter, great music, fun sound effects, very immersive. I haven't really played much video games since the N64 (skipped both the Wii and WiiU, so I kinda feel like an old man jumping back into the World of Nintendo). It's made me feel like a kid again, and with how much stress I've been under these last few years with my health... that's a pretty big deal to me. Thank you,

A new Nintendo system launch doesn't feel right unless it comes with a new Mario Kart. Even though this is just a port of the game for the Wii U, it adds all of the DLC add ons and even brings back some things that started in the very first Mario Kart. I always break this game out when friends come over and it never fails to be fun. My only complaint is that it shouldn't be a full price game just for a port from an older system, even if it has new DLC add ons, most people had to buy it twice for the full price just to have more games in their Nintendo Switch library.

Mario Kart just keeps getting better and better. Runs great on the Switch and looks incredible on the screen. A ton of fun, must own for any Switch owner

All characters except for two are playable from the beginning and auto steering is great for beginners. Super fun for those who are more competitive too!

IT IS EXCELLENT!!! WE ENJOY PLAYING THIS. WE KAUGH TGE ENTIRE TIME

great game to play with friends and family, easy to play, would totally recommend to those who love Super Mario!

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.

Excellent value, there are tons of characters, cars, and maps. The online play with friends is great too!

My 5yo grandson loves this game! He is able to navigate through the courses and the different speeds are a challenge for him. This is the first game he has played on his Switch console. So glad it was referred to me as a good starter game that he will go back to forever!

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

Great Family game. Super Fun. 48 NEW tracks coming soon through Nintendo online. !!!!

Fun and family friendly game, me and the kids always have a blast any time we play this game together.

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

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.
