Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game beings lots of fun to familt and friends. It brings competitive fun and enjoyment for everyone. I highly recommend this game if you are looking for a way to have fun while still being competitive.

I should have done more research I guess, but I was under the impression there would be new content/improvement of some kind from the Wii U edition. There isn't. Same game. for what it's worth, it's an amazing game.. just don't expect anything new.

Cool 3d characters. Fun racing and throwing. The new school mario grapics are a plus compared to old school mario.

SUPER fun game! A little daunting at first (I'm over 60 years old)...but so much fun when you learn the ropes! I love that there are new tracks and I love that there are updated tracks from earlier versions.

Only reason its 4 stars is due to lack of voice chat without app (more switch itself problem tbh) and its a re release for $60. I bought and played it alot for wii u and its dlc. Def still worth double dip if you can get a sale or trade in credit or BB rewards (latter 2 I did) lol or if you never got dlc/ really want it for portability specifically. Otherwise seriously awesome game!! Def worth retail price if first foray into this game. Perfect multiplayer and super quick jump in/jump out casual play on the go or before bed etc. Highly recommend

Best version of Mario Kart released to date. Offers all of the content from vanilla Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U, but also includes all of the DLC, new characters and a new battle mode. Must own for any fan of Mario Kart. Great for casual and experienced players alike.

We have always been Mario Kart fans and this one blew us away with the graphics and how many tracks there were! This game is great for family night too!

Fun for the entire family. You can have up to 4 players which is really nice. Many of the switch games are difficult for my 6 year old to play, but she does well with Mario Kart. This is a much purchase!

I was never into racing games but with the release of Mario kart 8, I felt that I needed to try it out. I was glad I did and was able to enjoy all the characters, maps, and carts. There is always something that you will like in the game.

Fun play for everyone in the family. Was able to use the game on the switch, no configuration necessary. Lots of characters to play with. Difficulty level is great for beginners to expert level handling.

Love this game! Fun-spirited game suitable for all ages! Love the new tracks as well as some of the classics from previous systems. If you’re looking for the next Forza, this isn’t it, but if you’re looking for just a fun, exciting game, this is it!

You can say that the biggest reason for getting a switch was for this game and it does not disappoint. It’s very entertaining and creates a friendly environment to compete against friends or family. Tons of modes and tracks and characters....it’s awesome!!

I bought this because I wanted to be able to play with my parents and friends who are not that familiar with video games, it’s easy to play and doesn’t have that much commands, good to play with more than 2 people.

I had bought this for my 5yr old grandson to play. He loves it. What's better is that my oldest children in their 20's were absolutely excited to see all the scenes and races from older versions of Mario Kart. Good graphics. Easy to play and very entertaining.

By far the best Mario kart. Tons of characters and courses. Looks amazing, runs at 60 frames and has 4 player split screen. You do need 4 controllers if you want to play 4 player but totally worth it. A must buy for every Switch owner.

I stopped following the Mario Kart franchise a long time ago. In previous versions, gameplay was too difficult for little ones and the games were too kiddie for older ones. They were simultaneously way too easy yet frustratingly difficult. Did I mention Rainbow Road? Mario Kart 8 fixed all of these problems. It has an auto steer feature that keeps 5yr olds in the game with 15yr olds. They'll even finish on the same lap. When you drive off the road, it resets you quicker so one mistake doesn't end your chance of getting stars. The ai drivers are still a little too trigger happy though. One will strike and then 3 or 4 more will follow. ...And it's still frustrating when you're taken from first to last by relentless attacks, but it isn't as bad as it used to be. Overall, this game is the funnest of the whole series, so if you haven't played in a while, Mario Kart 8 is worth buying.

Fun game to play as a family. 4 players can play with one switch if you have extra remotes. You can add 4 more players with an additional switch. Has a lot of the classic Mario Kart tracks and features.

The family enjoys this game and its a blast to spend time with the family. Def recomment this game

I am a huge Mario Kart fan and this is one of the best iterations of the game on any Nintendo console. It is really accessible for newcomers and offers depth and challenge for veterans. You can play four players on one TV and four joy-con, and the assistant modes even allow my three year old to have a little bit of fun and actually control. I'm a bit disappointed in the $60 price-point since I already purchased the original. This version includes all the DLC, 8 new courses, but most "Game of the Year" editions are $20-$30, not the full $60 asking price. That's Nintendo.

After playing the 64 version of this game all i can say is how amazing it is. We often have Mario Kart meetups and have so much fun. The portability of the Switch really shines here. The graphics and game play make it a needed game on the Switch.
