Customer Ratings & Reviews

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!

My 6 year old has been playing this since he was 4. He loves this game.

Lots of fun with friends or even playing alone. All the favorites are here, lots of kart customization, and kots of memorable tracks from past MK games.

Pros: - Beautiful visuals. - Fun core loop and game mechanics - Easy to pick up and play - Variety of modes and characters. Cons - online is a hit or miss. - Menu navigation is lacking in some areas.

Buy it, buy it right away and release your inner racing skills, seriously. Very good game and has multiple different gaming ways that can make a fit for any gamer. It never gets boring, especially playing with good company or even online. Go buy it.

Love this product, we take it anywhere we go. Light and easy to fit in backpack

So much fun! My youngest daughter said I needed to buy this game since I bought a switch! We love playing as a family!

I had Mario Kart 8 on the Wii-U, but the Deluxe edition is a step above! The graphics have been improved, and the new additions like the characters, make it even better!

Our whole family (ages 4-40) enjoys this game. We like that we can all play it together. It has some old Nintendo game tracks that the adults appreciate. It's also an easy game for most people to play.

It’s one of those games that I put off only because the new and exciting games that were coming out on the switch caught my eye a lotttt more. (S/O to Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Odyssey) But you can’t mess with a multiplayer classic. Between my dissappointment with how splatoon 2 does multiplayer (I can’t play with the person sitting next to me unless they also have a switch and a copy of the game!) and the need for extra joy con to play 2 players in arms (you can use the joy con that come with the system but only with a second set can you both punch it out) Mario karts’ ability to have up to four players with two sets of joy con is hard to beat. Bonus: a friend of mine and I realized that with 4 Nintendo switches + 4 copies of MK8 + 8 sets of joy con= a Grand Prix with no computers. Now that’s the dream.

This is a great game to have if you like playing video games with your friends and family. There are a lot of familiar tracks, as well as a LOT of new ones from the wii game. We greatly enjoy it!

Mario Kart 8 DX is the best Mario Kart to date. I have the Wii U version as well and was waiting for price drop, but ended up getting the game which came with the Steel Book. This game has a large selection of characters, which are unlocked from the beginning. But you have to play to unlock the big roster of karts, wheels, and gliders. The races are challenging, and if you're good, then you can skip the 50/100 cc grand prix modes, since doing 150 cc will just give you the same ranking for 50/100 cc tournaments. There are a total of 48 tracks, all available from the beginning. On the Switch you can play it anywhere. Must have for any Mario Kart fans.

This game is fun and easy even for novices to learn to play. It has several different game modes to switch up playing. It's a bit hard to see on the Switch Lite in battle mode though.

Controls are somewhat different compared to previous versions if you've played on gamecube or wii but aren't bad once you get the hang of it. Definitely lots of fun to play and loved the use of courses from previous versions of the game.

This is our favorite game on Switch. I play it with my girls 8 and 5. The graphics are great and the tracks are pretty cool. We often play in 3 or 4 players mode and it’s a lot of fun.

This IS the best Mario Kart ever made from MANY view points. It is better than the Wii u version and that was the Definitive version ...UNTIL now. ...AND be able to play on the GO without it being a "3DS port" makes it even more appealing.

This game is timeless and just as fun as the originals. I love how it takes tracks from all of the different platforms. Game play is simple, even my 4 year old loves to play. Hours upon hours of enjoyment to be had with this game.

Really Cool game. Especially for those that’s not advanced in gaming as I am lol….. It’s a game the family can enjoy, or something you can enjoy by yourself.

I bought this game on Wii U as well as the DLC for it and this game might just be a re-release of that content, but it's the definitive version of the game. It's the culmination of everything great about Mario Kart in a package that is portable.

I haven't had so much fun playing Mario Kart since double dash and before then MK64. The graphics are nice and the racing is fun and hectic. I purchased it on the Wii U and enjoy it even more on my Switch. Don't think, just buy!
