Customer Ratings & Reviews

Fun from start to FINISH! Great graphics. Fun characters lots to do. Family hooked.

Mario Kart 8 is a beautiful, fun kart racer that introduces sound new ideas to Nintendo’s 22-year old franchise. While it doesn't reach Double Dash-levels of risk and experimentation, Mario Kart 8 builds on the series' most essential aspects better than any of its predecessors. Twisting U-turns, a blistering sense of speed, skillful track designs, robust tournament and online features, and gorgeous graphics fall into lockstep all at once. The end result shouldn't come as a surprise: Mario Kart 8 is the king of the mascot kart circuit, and it gave me hours of enjoyment.

We loved growing up with Nintendo 64 so this game is very loved. The graphics are great and the options easy to choose from.

Its a fun family night game that gets everyone involved.

Great game, my 5 year old loves it as much as my wife. Easy to play and has all of the original stuff built in. Highly recommend.

A new Nintendo system launch doesn't feel right unless it comes with a new Mario Kart. Even though this is just a port of the game for the Wii U, it adds all of the DLC add ons and even brings back some things that started in the very first Mario Kart. I always break this game out when friends come over and it never fails to be fun. My only complaint is that it shouldn't be a full price game just for a port from an older system, even if it has new DLC add ons, most people had to buy it twice for the full price just to have more games in their Nintendo Switch library.

Mario Kart just keeps getting better and better. Runs great on the Switch and looks incredible on the screen. A ton of fun, must own for any Switch owner

All characters except for two are playable from the beginning and auto steering is great for beginners. Super fun for those who are more competitive too!

Pretty fun iteration of the series. Very enjoyable, looks great, however, it does not offer much to those of us who played the wii U version a lot. From that perspective the $60 price tag can be tough to justify. The updates to the visuals make the game look great, especially on the Switch screen. Plenty of people seem be online already so the community is active and fun.

My Nephew LOVES this game! Super great gift idea! Can't go wrong with Mario Kart!

What can you say - it's a Mario Kart game and it's as fun as ever. Some new twists on tracks and being able to hold multiple items is nice.

As a owner of Mario Kart 8 on the WiiU I was hesitant about purchasing again, but after playing it on the Switch I'm comfortable saying it's completely worth it. New content is limited to some customizations, characters and the biggest change, new and expanded battle mode. Battle mode was sorely lacking in the WiiU version and welcome to have. And, in case you're wondering, you don't have to unlock any levels or characters again. This version not only looks great, but also plays fantastic and the online works perfectly. Definitely worth your time and money.

Ever since they took my driver’s license away, I’ve taken it upon myself to find a new hobby by playing racing games. And this my friend, is the peak of racing games. It’s epic

This game is a lot of fun. It is easy to learn and play and is perfect both docked and on the go. Playing with friends makes for a very fun night.

We have really enjoyed this and it says something that they have made 8 iterations. They kids have played a lot more than I have it it was fun to see them recognize tracks from other versions they have played and all the friendly competition. It is a great looking game with lots of things to see, unlock, and discover. Great family time (Ages 8-45) It was also nice to be able to split the controllers and have four people playing. I do recommending getting the wheels. We bought the Insignia ones as the nintendo brand wasn't available yet and they have been great too.

The games is a great game for kids and is fun for the whole family

Excellent game. We having fun with the kids and family.

This game is super fun with friends and very addictive online! It is a port of the Wii U Mario Kart 8 games with all the added DLC and extra characters. What sold me on the game is you can now hold 2 items instead of just one item in the Wii U version. Nintendo also revamped the Battle Mode. It's as fun as it was on the Nintendo 64 version! With all the new items, characters, Kart options, and revamped Battle Mode, I'd say this is the definitive Mario Kart experience. I had the Wii U version as well and I am loving this game all over again on the Nintendo Switch!!

My 6 year old son loves it. I also bought the table top wheel to go with also i like that.

One of the very best Mario kart games made to date. It's so much fun to play.
