Customer Ratings & Reviews

Fun racing experience with a bunch of tracks and cosmetics.

Well, I was a little burnt out on Mario Kart for a while (last version I played was the one on the Wii back in 2008), but I decided to take the plunge on the new Switch version. Gotta honestly say it's an absolute blast to play. I know it's "more of the same", but the variety of tracks is great and couch multiplayer is awesome once again. Pro controller is best for me, but I want to keep practicing with the Joy-Cons so I don't hoard the good controller every time...

Just what the child wanted. Loves playing this game.

This game looks great for a Mario game! It is fun and easy to play! Beginners would like it too!

Beat game lots of race track choices not like original but close

Mario cart 8 great game was hard to find u need one Best Buy is the way to go

This game has been so fun to play. I can’t stop playing this game because it’s so awesome. There are a lot of things to get, cars to unlock. The race tracks are amazing and the fun just keeps on coming. My kids love this game, I had to buy 3 in order to have competition with the entire family on the go, and I do not regret it. If you don’t have a switch, you should just buy it for this game a lone. That’s how awsome this game is.

I loved this game on Nintendo 64 and this is similar. It makes me happy.

I had only played Mario Kart on a Nintendo 3DS; so, being able to play on a large TV screen is great. My kids and I have played in 3-player split-screen mode, and it's a blast. Two of us have been using the two halves of the joy-con controller, and while they are a little small to hold, they work fine. Eventually, you find a way to hold them that works. Also, having all the tracks, carts, etc. available without needing to purchase DLC makes this game a good value.

My 4-year-old loves this game. The auto-steering and auto-accelerating options help him tremendously and make it a lot of fun for him without getting frustrating or too challenging. I do feel like the steering wheel holders for the joy-cons are pretty vital for him to hold and steer correctly. He can play by himself or we can play with him. The delivery was fast as well!

Prior to playing Mario Kart 8, I have only played Mario Kart 7 on the Nintendo 3DS. While Mario Kart 7 was fun on the 3DS, the graphics were just okay, but the display on the 3DS was somewhat small. The graphics on Mario Kart 8 are very incredible and the display on the Nintendo Switch is much larger. I also like being able to play on the TV and with other people. This game will keep an entire family entertained. Mario Kart 8 is a very fun game!

Simply put, you can't go wrong with this game. Tons of options for game play and fun for all ages.

I usually play single player focused games offline, but still had lot of fun with this game. Quite a few characters, lots of amazing tracks and modes. Online modes are cherry on the cake. Havnt played the game on Wii U, so cant compare how better this is, but on switch, enjoying this game a lot.

What a great game 10/10 best group game for playing with friends or family

This game is lots of fun and easy to play. I would recommend this to anybody who likes the Mario franchise.

Great for family fun and portable! Fun for all ages! My only complaint is the wheel controller is too small.

The game can be played as a single player and up to 4 at one time. ( Additional joycon must be purchased.) We play with 2 players in a race mode. After a few races we earn enough points to gain customizable pieces and additional characters. Fun for kids and adults.

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've been a Mario Kart fan off and on for many years. The best part about these games is also the worst part for my egocentric approach to games. Even the most skilled and experienced players can end up losing miserably from a stroke of bad luck. However, this is great for parties or playing with your less game enthused or non-gamer friends. They have a fair shot at doing very well and staying engaged because of the tools at their disposal on the various, well designed racetracks, many of which play fantastic homage to the franchise's charming history. This is not to say that inexperienced players will win as often or do as well as the more experienced ones all the time, but they'll have a lot of fun and do well enough to enjoy themselves. If you want a more fast paced or intense racing experience, try one of the other racing games for the Switch and do your research. If you want a charming, family-friendly game that is easy to get into and enjoy with people of any level of gaming experience, this game won't disappoint.

Great game with a ton of characters. The gameplay is just like the old ones and adds some wrinkles.
