Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

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.

Fast paced gameplay. Challenging tracks great for any age.

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.

I love Mario kart and the only reason I bought a Nintendo switch!

Fun racing experience with a bunch of tracks and cosmetics.

This is a fun game probably more of a multiplayer game. The Grand Prix single player definitely Lacks the unlockables. Almost all characters and karts are already unlocked the only thing that you really unlock are the different parts for certain carts bikes and things of that nature

Very fun game! Played it for years before the switch.

Fun to play with family and friends, different game modes to try out make it even more fun.

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

My kids love this game, they laugh the whole time they play.

fun game to play with children - easy for them to operate and great graphics

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%!

Great game! My kids love it and I do to. I will recommend to everyone.

This is my GO TO game (besides Smash Bros) when the friends come through. I wish I could have something amazing to say about it but come on ... it's Mario Kart... when has it EVER failed to amaze?!!!! My daughter loves it so because it has a "driving assist" mode that keeps me from having to "teach her the controls" she gets to learn them herself.

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.

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

Super fun, been playing since I was a child. Highly recommended

I got this because as a kid who didn’t play this? But I wanted to get my kid into it and boy did it work. They not just did it right but the graphics and the mechanics are wonderful. Once you’re drifting you won’t drive without it. It’s action packed and I didn’t think 32 race option was needed in a game but I think we proved it was lol

Fun for anyone. Easy to catch on and play. Cant go wrong!
