Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was a great game on the Wii U, but Battle Mode was horribly broken. Bringing all the expanded stages, characters and vehicles from the original (and adding a couple), then opening things up with a revamped Battle Mode including the classic balloon bash makes this the definitive version of Mario Kart. If you like racing, you must pick this one up!

This is the best Mario Kart game to date! Superb courses, nice characters and super smooth game play with a stable 60 fps. Also for time-trial fanatics there is enough to do with a Nintendo ghost to beat in every level and courses that let you master them in every detail, This is a no-brain er for every Nintendo Switch owner.

Had MK8 on the WiiU and the Switch version brings all that fun to the new console plus the expansion pass allows you to enjoy a whole bunch more tracks. Another great installment in the series

Mario Kart is my favorite switch game of all time! So much fun!

Awesone game, best Mario Kart yet! Great on the go w/ the Switch!

This Mario Kart is a lot of fun...great graphics and race tracks!

Nice improvements over the original Mario Kart 8. Classic style battle mode is a lot of fun. Hated the battle mode in the original game. The Boo item makes a return, missed that item since Mario Kart 64. Controls are great no matter which control style you are using. I prefer the pro controller. Graphics are beautiful and playing online is a lot of fun.

Easy to learn, and fun to play, whether solo or multi-player!

I was really excited to get this as my first game for the switch to see what has changed to make the game even better. The good: really crisp graphics, more precise motion steering, and the anti-gravity concept opens up a fun new way to find shortcuts. There are a few new battle modes as well which are much better than the old ones. The bad: it is so much like the wii game I don't feel like I'm playing a new game as much as an HD version of what I've played before. The other disappointing thing is it comes out of the box with all but one character unlocked and all the tracks unlocked. There's not nearly as much for me and my family to work for. Still a classic game but slightly disappointing.

My kids love it is nice and cool to play. Like family.

Always loved Mario Kart! I have this game on the Wii U as well as my Switch. Nintendo keeps the game to its roots and constantly provides quality, and fun-new maps to play!

I love this game. Great graphics and easy to play.

Great graphics. Fun for the whole family. Very Entertaining

Best MARIO kart game to date. Lots of tracks and fun online modes

Fun family game just like when I was a kid. The added handicap options for younger kids keeps them engaged when they are just learning how to play

All the reviews are on point. It is the best go kart game ever!

Really don't have much to say. If you've stuck with Nintendo/Mario for the past 30 years, any Mario game won't disappoint especially Mario kart. But for newcomers, this game won't disappoint, game will keep you occupied.

Fun Game for the Family! Had to grab it for the holidays!

Love playing Mario Kart 8, it’s one of my favorite games that bring me back to my childhood. A lot of new characters and the customization of the vehicles excites me every time I play.

Definitely one of the first games to buy with the Nintendo Switch. Since the Switch comes with two JoyCons, you can automatically have two players with the game. Excellent controls and has replayability with the different stages, customization of characters, unlockable characters, customization of vehicles, and fun multiplayer game scenarios.
