Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U when it originally came out (actually bought a Wii U for it!) and loved it. I was disappointed by the lack of a decent battle mode, but the Deluxe version for the Switch changed all that! The battle modes are tons of fun and it's awesome that they included all of the original DLC in this game from the start. Online experience is a little rough (lots of disconnects) but the game itself is great. Must have for all Switch owners! It's great to be able to pop off your joy-cons and play 2 player on the go!

This is a great game for when you have friends or family over!

If you own a switch, or you know of someone who does, buy this game. Full stop. Nothing else to consider. First party games from Nintendo are always a safe bet. They're going to be well designed from the ground up and will deliver a fantastic playing experience, generally for the whole family. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for the Switch does not fail to impress. You'll have fun with the casualness of it all, but feel free to get into the details and really master the play. Both options work. You'll love this. Just buy it.

I love racing games, so I got this game to play with family. Plenty of tracks to race and plenty of characters to choose from

Very fun game to play with the kids! No issue no scratches till this day had it for over a year now still great condition.

Definitely a game for everyone. Several characters to choose from & love the throwback tracks from the previous systems. Hooked since Day 1.

It's Mario Kart! Awesome port on the Switch. A must own if you have picked up a Switch. Looks great! Sounds great! Plays great! Lots of fun

The fixes from the Wii U version have been amazing. The stats such as acceleration now reflect the actual acceleration. In wii U the stats would not adjust unless a FULL bar of stat was filled which really made switching between vehicles and stuff not nearly as fun once you found optimal combinations that filled full bars. Now any combination you will still get the stat bonus even if partially full. The battle modes are awesome. The new renegade round up is SO fun. Overall A++++++ and definitely the best Mario Kart I have ever played.

Super fun game. Never gets old and always fun to play with others

Colorful, engaging worlds and tracks, and interesting, fun characters and vehicle options make this enjoyment for everyone!

Such a super fun cool game that is very fun and unique I’m totally enjoying playing this game right now it’s new characters, new ideas and it’s very refreshing ❤️. And elephant Mario is really cool too!! I’m so glad that I preordered this game!!

This games is fun, and easy for kids ages 5+ to play even I love playing with with my son.

Really great gaming experience. Smooth as butter, great music, fun sound effects, very immersive. We've come a long way from Kart 64. 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, Nintendo.

Great game very kid friendly and a lot of fun for adults too! Lots of new tracks and old ones too!

Love Mario kart. This version is packed with karts and racers and tracks. Looks amazing on my big screen and in handheld.

A must have game for the Nintendo Switch. Loads of tracks. Fun to play online with friends.

For me, as I know it is true for a lot of us, we spent hours playing the original Mario Kart on Super NES & then later even more hours spent Of Mario Kart 64. What is so great about this latest installment is that it pays homage to the Mario Kart roots and still has enough new features to standalone as the best so far. Features like being able to hold onto two items instead of one, or the amount of upgrades and vehicle adaptations, new battle modes, and the beautiful, more colorful level designs. Don't miss out on this game.

Regardless of the full price for a repackaged game from the Wii U, this game is 100% worth it. With extra characters, tracks and Battle Royale this game will provide a TON of replayability to both the young and older generations. Controls are simple, graphics are amazing (in both handheld and docked modes) and overall just one of the best multiplayer experiences on any console. This is a MUST OWN for Switch owners.

“Mario Kart 8 is the best kart racing game Nintendo has made in a long time. It strikes a careful balance between refining old ideas while introducing fresh new ones. Admittedly, its gorgeous graphics and jazzy orchestrated soundtrack bolster its presentation, but you’re getting a lot more than just looks with this one – although I spent an awful lot of time gawking at the details in slow-motion, the fast and furious pace of racing with friends both locally and online is what really kept me coming back.”

I love love love Mario Kart and this one is great. Plays wonderfully on the switch and being able to play on the go is just beautiful.
