Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have played some of the Mario Kart titles on various Nintendo Systems and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch is my favorite for a number of reasons. Visually, it's stunning. The tracks are colorful and have a lot going on in the background, but not distracting. The shading when moving from a bright area to a dark or shadowy area is something to be appreciated. The characters are great, and especially more fun that you are able to race as a Mii with a costume after scanning a compatible amiibo. There is a fun selection of Nintendo characters, obviously mostly from the Super Mario series. I also enjoy playing updated versions of tracks from previous Mario Kart games from other consoles such as SNES, 3DS, etc. Tracks inspired by other Nintendo games such as Excite Bike and The Legend of Zelda are great, especially with music inspired by those games. Great game to play, especially with others locally.

Between this and Smash Bros, these are my big games to play with family. Plenty of characters to choose from and ways to modify your karts for racing to match your personality. Highly recommend for Switch 1 and 2 players.

This is so addicting and the online multiplayer is great too. There's a ton of tracks and multiple characters to pick from. This is enjoyable for all ages and a solid pickup for any switch owner.

They did a fantastic job with this game! They incorporated a lot of the classic tracks from past consoles. The graphics and the effects are sweet. So many characters and carts/cart accessories available to use. Great fun when playing with others.

Is a very fun game. The whole family enjoyed. We have so much fun

The best MarioKart game released to date. Love this game!

So happy with my purchase easy to carry fun to play

Mario Kart 8 for the Switch is an exhilarating joyride that delivers on all fronts. With its charming characters, vibrant tracks, and addictive gameplay, it's hard not to get hooked. Whether racing against friends or tackling challenging solo cups, this game offers endless hours of fun and pure racing bliss.

I had Mario Kart on the Wii U and thought that game was amazing. The switch version provides a few tweaks plus more maps and characters making it the best version available. Add the portability factor of the switch and getting this game is a no brainer.

Great game in the Mario Kart series. This is a deluxe version of Mario Kart 8 that was released for the Wii U. This game has all the great things that make Mario Kart fun. The tracks are great and varied with some popular tracks from older Mario Kart games. Controlling the game works great too. You can use the Joy-Cons, split the Joy-Cons for 2 player, and use the pro controller. They all work great and controlling the kart is responsive and tight. They also include a Smart controller mode which basically helps steer and accelerate, great for younger kids. They will feel they are actually racing and not have to worry about falling off the track. There a lot of content in this game: tracks, racers, different kart mods, and the online play is fun too. This is a must have for the Nintendo Switch!

MK is king of kart racers. Everybody knows. It's the best handling, best graphics and most all around game there is of this type. The tracks are great and there are tons of characters to play as.

This is a fantastic game by Nintendo. I played the original Mario kart 8 on the Wii U and I loved it. The expanded battle features, the ability to play anywhere, and the additional characters and karts are fantastic to play. I have no complaints at all.

There is more here than just a graphical update. The DLC from MK8's release on the Wii U is included, plus a new Battle mode from the older games. The online play seems a bit more stable (though still prone to failure) and the frame rate increase to 60 fps is very noticeable and welcome. It plays best with standard controls, the tilt controls are accurate, but require a lot of movement and yet are still quite sensitive. For beginners (or people just not good at the game) there are assistance tools in the game that help you steer and drive forward. I'd advice the average gamer to turn these off since the 3rd level drift boost is only available if they're off, but the tools are great for young kids or people who don't normally play. All in all, there is a great list of courses and characters, and enough custom race options to make this a great upgrade.

It’s Mariokart, what else can you say? It’s fun. If you liked previous version you’ll like this one. Lots of characters, cars, and tracks. You can also play online.

If your a Mario Kart enthusiast then get it, it keep the same game play with new maps and characters i keep loving every edition they come out with

Super fun game. Got it to play with the grandkids!

[Employee of bestbuy] This game is a blast whether I’m racing solo or with friends. The variety of tracks and characters keeps it fun, and the controls feel responsive. Great for casual or competitive play.

Mario Kart 8 is THE game for the family. It is fun, easy to learn, but hard to master. It brings a lot of family bonding time for our family during this pandemic. I started out late with Nintendo Switch and this game has been age like fine wine. Worth to give a try and as always, you can play with your friends and family. -Tracks: a lot of track to choose from and more cart to choose. I couldn't tell if I would be able to play all of these tracks by the next two months. -Graphics: are incredible good looking for a big TV screen or in the palm of your hands. -Tip and tricks: well, this game does not tell much for trick, but there is Youtube.

This is the definitive mario kart title and a must own for the switch. There are so many characters, tracks, and vehicle configurations! It is also great for younger kids because it has an auto-accelerate and lane-assist modes!

I had Mario Kart 8 for for Wii U but I never purchased the DLC, so picking up the deluxe version when I bought my Switch was a no brainer. The new tracks are a lot of fun and the tracks that have been ported from past Mario Karts bring a challenge to already familiar environments. This version of the game includes some "easy mode" features that will be a welcome addition to beginners. These include an option that allows the game to steer you away from leaving the track and to accelerate for you (each being a separate setting). As a seasoned player, I found these features annoying and quickly disabled them as they removed some of my control, but I see the benefit for beginners and others that are just looking for a fun game to play with friends and family.
