First, if you aren't a gamer member with Bestbuy you are throwing money away every time you buy a game. This game has everything! It's especially fun once you master the steering wheel(sold separately) and don't need to use the directional buttons. The switch joy con is made to fit hands that are roughly the size of Trumps hands. If you have anything larger than a toddlers hand when playing with the joy con you need the steering wheel. There are tons of characters and vehicles to choose from. So many upgrades. The game is set up for the most novice players to the extremely talented with all the classes and cups available. Better option for party's of adults or children than 1-2 switch. Adults only below this...... Trying playing Drunk Cup The rules are: You are not allowed to drink and drive. You must pull over to drink. You must finish your adult beverage before finishing the race. Good luck!!!!

Awesome game with lots of modes, characters and tracks. Anybody that's a fan of any of the previous Mario Kart games will love this game

I'm not a big gamer so please don't underestimate my appreciation for this game. Let's start with the graphics. I can't thank the team behind them enough. The colors, and everything that went into the visuals is beautiful. Colors are really bright and always go well with the intense gameplay. Each track is also a beauty. Not all of the tracks are new, and it's even specified which tracks have been used in other systems such as DS. However, playing this game on a switch is an experience of its own. Doesn't matter if I played Cheep Cheep Beach when I was on my 3DS, playing on the switch was worth it. I've never been into the sound track behind games but each sound track has been so craftfully made. It takes the gameplay to another level, by not only complementing it, but giving it a sweet competitive edge. The antigravity feature is pretty neat; to explain when you bump into other players or the antigravity pieces in the middle of the track you'll be pulled forward with a little boost. With the exception of having all access to vehicle upgrades (available by gaining coins), the cars/wheels/gliders are all cool. A lot of times I see a new vehicle and I'm like, "Wow, they have this as an option!" There's luxury Mercedes Benz, and silly animal like vehicles. The ease of the user interface is like all previous years, but its the tracks that really gets your moneys worth. Sometimes I play and question if I'm playing a game or living in one. If that was the goal of Nintendo, they really came to surpass it. Please do yourself a favor and get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Mario Kart is a classic Nintendo game series. I've played every single entry of the series from the SNES to N64 to GCN to Wii to Wii U to Switch. I've also played the handheld entries of the series. This version of the game for Switch is basically the most current and up-to-date entry. It includes many different characters and race tracks to choose from. On the Switch, you can race with others locally via split screen or online. Honestly, it's a Mario Kart game. It's tons of fun, even playing single player mode.

It's a Mario Kart game. Gameplay is great. Soundtrack is great. Makes for a great time with friends and family. Only downside is the price vs amount of content. I wish it had more tracks from previous games.

If you have ever played MarioXart you'll automatically know and love this game. I havent found anything new and oustanding about the difference but this is great being portable now and able to just pop in and play immediately. I was even able to play with 4 people on the little screen during a break at work which was hilarious on the little screen and all of us crowding over each other and bumping elbows. Should have come out when the switch was released but worth the wait. If you have a switch... get this game.

Great game ! Fun to play wit friends really enjoy it with the upgraded graffics

Better tracks than old school and of course better graphics. Love as much as the old school with new twist and characters

Great game kids love it. We enjoy playing it as a family and the graphics are great too

Super Mario Kart was probably my first video game ever so please pardon my bias but Mario Kart is Nintendo's best franchise and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the best in the franchise. It provides hours of fun whether you play with friends/family on the same couch, gamers across the world online, or by yourself against the computer. Sure, it's nearly the same game as the one on the Wii U, but it's worth getting the Switch version so that you can play it on the go. Great for kids and kids at heart!

My aunt had this game on the Wii (non deluxe version) and we knew about the Mario Kart games, but I've played these games for years and loved this game. I wasn't any less disappointed in the Switch version. This is a core game I 100% recommend grabbing and is great fun with a group of 4 to play. The options to help beginners/younger players make it less frustrating and more fun for everyone to play as well. I couldn't recommend a console game on any platform more than I do this game..

I've grown up on this game and this version is keeping it fun! Good stuff, lots of tracks car upgrades and characters.

Pretty fun and easy to use. Was the perfect gift for my 4 year old nephew!

Awesome game love it. The different levels are all exciting and the acess to expand on the game is a great benfit too. It does bring back nastolga if you have been playing mario kart for awhile.

When I first got it, I played it practically all the time about. I got into it, especially with the online membership. It's a fun, addictive game that you should play. You don't need the online membership as you can play against the computer. My favorite course is the Zelda course. Nintendo just keeps adding courses! This game you can play forever and still have a fun time.

Best game ever created! Has 4 player mode . Good graphics

What more can you say about Mario Kart 8 deluxe? Infinite replay value and is a recipe for a good time. Game has many modes and will take some time for people to master it. Easy to play, hard to master is the reason why this game stood the test of time.

Great game for me and my son. Easy to play a 4 years old.

This has to be top tier Mario Kart experience. I purchased this digitally and play it on a regular basis with the family. I ultimately had to get the physical copy. Nintendo has done a great job adding additional content for drivers and tracks. Everyone needs to experience this ultimate Mario Kart experience. Recommended for all ages. Especially with the auto turn and acceleration assist. My 3 year old daughter was able to play and feel like she was part of the experience.
