Customer Ratings & Reviews

The game is exactly what you expect it to be. It's Mario Kart 8 from the Wii U with all the DLC released unlocked from the start. The replayability for the solo player may take a slight hit since you're essentially playing the game to earn stars and trophies, which serve no functional purpose after unlocking Gold Mario/Kart/Wheels, and coins, which will net you a cart part every 30 coins earned. The replay value comes from the online modes available. Battle mode returns and for the most part, is as great as you remember it. The course variety is small but enough to feel unique with each arena. The only real flaw from the battle mode is the omission of classic "last man standing". Instead, when you run out of balloons, you simply respawn with three more at the cost of a significant portion of your points (which determines what place you finish when time runs out). The race mode is everything you'd expect. And with the addition of 200cc class and the ability to pick up two items at a time, it's pure chaos. If you own a switch, this and Breath of the Wild are must haves.

My girlfriend loves this game. It brings back her childhood memories when when she was playing on her Nintendo 3d.

The game is great on the switch and includes all the dlc and some extra modes to make it worth buying again if you have it on Wii U already. But since it’s been out on the Wii U for a while now and it’s still full price I have to dock it a star.

I haven't played Mario Kart since the first one on 3DS and Double-Dash on the Gamecube, but this version is a lot of fun, especially with friends and family. I also love how many ways you can play locally. I have a Pro Controller so if you count the Joy-Cons I can play with 3x people now. The Joy-Cons with the grips attached are actually pretty good controllers, much better than expected.

This is a very nostalgic game to play with family and friends! I love racing against my fiance

Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe top foremost kart racing and battle game to date 2021! The expansive tracks choices and battle upgrade only help to secure this game as number 1 to date fun competition of Kart racing while simultaneously battling for position and victory! HIGHLY recommended!

With the Switch, it's easy to sync joycons. We had a friend come over and all he did was slide it into the switch and pull it out. Mario Kart for Switch has some really fun games and is way more responsive than any of the other motion controller console versions. Not having to unlock any characters may seem like there is nothing to work for in the game, but this was made for social fun!!!

Mario Kart has always been one of my favorite games when growing up. I was able to buy this gift for my nephew and he absolutely loves it! Even myself as an adult fine myself at the edge of the seat playing this game with it's new features that it had and not even to mention the graphics which are outstanding as well! I'm very satisfied and do recommend this a 100%!

Deluxe comes with the complete package including all the DLC characters and tracks. The game looks even better on Nintendo Switch at a smooth 60 FPS. As always you can drift, glide, and now collect up to two power ups to give you an edge over the competition. The multiplayer works great in local or online. MK8D is as fun as ever and I highly recommend it for anyone's Switch library.

Great graphics, fun action and very imaginative. Fun for the whole family.

Mario kart is a classic for all ages. Best Buy always has the best prices. We love you guys and your customer service is the best.

Bought as a gift, they love it. Very fun and lots of gameplay

Was really nervous about Mario Kart successively meeting its past standards. Past races being included in the game definitely helps, but all the original tracks stand on their own merits. The tire/kart system is a nice maturation of the series to keep from the oversimplistic weight-classes. New items are great, great anti-blue shell technology! Music can be a little wanting at times, but not terrible, online is super fun and seems to be promisingly endurable. The MarioKarTV replay thing is a little overindulgent. The optional smart steering is a stroke of genius. If it would have been mandatory it would have really ruined the game, but having it be optional is a great way to learn tracks. Right along with that, is having to finish tracks and not having the option to restart, just a nice touch. Switch additions are great also, glad the tilt controls are optional, because they can be fun, but hard to remember if you're using certain controller methods. That's about it I think. Love the point-unlock system. 200 cc is a cruel joke that if I ever master I'll almost be kind of embarrassed, but for its credit it is kind of like making Mario Kart into a cartoon style Gran Turismo. Too much for my taste, but I could see how it would be fun. Oh and the battle additions, that renegade thing with the piranha plant, really fun, sunshine really fun, coin runner.... meh, but the rest great additions.

It’s a great fun game a little expensive but fun to play

My 6yo daughter, my husband, and I all LOVE playing this together. Such a great game, great graphics! Love how it doesn't take as long to get back on the track when you fall off now, and love the feature for the kiddos that you can STAY on the track! So glad we decided to get this for us for Christmas!

Best Mario Kart game ever! So many tracks characters and unlockable items.

Fun to race the family or online with many tracks to choose from.

a high quality game 100% recommended for children and adults, ideal to share with the little ones.

I traded in my Wii U copy of this game when I picked up a Switch. I can't believe the Big N didn't include these extra modes as DLC at least for the Wii U version. Oh well, this is the complete package if you're on the fence about it. Love that they brought back balloon battles. My only complaint in Toad's Turnpike (N64). I don't care for that remade track. The rest are awesome.

Good amount of characters and spend time with tour family playing
