Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you've never played Mario Kart 8 then just stop reading and buy this. It's unquestionably and by far the best Mario Kart game Nintendo's ever made. If you already own Mario Kart 8 on Wii U then the question is: is this still worth it. I own Mario Kart 8 on my Wii U including the DLC tracks (which come free in this version) but the addition of the best set of Battle mode options ever in a Mario Kart including the options for local or online play had kept me from having any regret on this purchase.

After playing all mario karts, loving the series since the first, I can safely say this is the best of the series. Visuals are sharp 1080p at 60 frames per second in TV mode, and beautiful colorful 720p also 60 frames per second in portable mode. 48 racing tracks, 8 battle stages, multiple battle modes that keep diversity and strategy in the battles. Online play is fast and fluid. Though when playing 3 or 4 players in same console frame rates drop to 30. Controls feature optional motion controls, and steering with auto-accelerate to players who are still learning to play. I highly recommend this game to players of all ages, for single player or crazy party fun. No matter if new to series, or like me following since first, this game is a must for Nintendo Switch owners.

Almost pointless to review this because everyone is gonna say the same thing: hours of fun to be had here, a timeless classic that only seems to get better. Play with others for an enhanced experience. Would recommend to anyone.

Fun game to play with friends and family! Always a fan of Mario games for the switch!

I bought this for my grandson’s 5th birthday….he absolutely loves it! Buying it online and picking it up was so easy! Thanks again!

Forgot how awesome this game was. Love the designs and characters.

Great fun for a night with friends! Nostalgic games from previous and current Mario Party editions make for hours of great gameplay.

Mario kart never fails to bring on different road maps and awesome characters. I was afraid to buy this for my switch since I have it for the Wii U and thought it would be exactly the same tracks but it wasn’t. Love it!!!

This game is single-handedly one for the ages. It is one of the best games I can say I have ever played because it is a classic but also amazing. It utilizes the Nintendo Switch's controllers well and it is just amazing.

My kids are 16. 10. & 6. The 16 yo insisted this is the ONE game to buy if no other- they all love it!! It’s pretty classic and just the most fun! If you purchase a Switch this season just go ahead and but MARIO Kart too!!

Lots of fun to play as a family. Plus you can play online with friends. Great game and reminds me of back when we played as kids.

Great game would definitely recommend, we all loved playing it.

Probably one of the best games for the Nintendo Switch! You know if you have a Switch, you HAVE to have this game. Everyone has it. Everyone plays it. I'm so glad I bought this game and a switch during the pandemic. Being able to play with other friends in other cities or states has brought us closer together. If you buy this, make sure you also purchase the DLC. They are releasing new courses and it's making the replay-ability of this game even higher than it was. Totally worth it!!

Love this game!! They have way more tracks and players to unlock!

Talk about bringing back my childhood in new modern fun ways! This game is just awesome. My cousins and I play it together for hours and get super competitive! It's been perfect through holiday get-togethers.

Great game for family time! My 5 year old son loves it!

This finally turned my 49yr young wife into a gamer and apparently into a sailor as well.

Always get MarioKart to play, so glad they were able to have it for Switch. Controls are familiar, video is good, and there is just a bit new and different than previous games.

I’m a huge Mario fan and this doesn’t disappoint! The graphics are excellent and the game is really fun. Nintendo has come a long way in improving Mario Kart. The races are awesome, with a variety of courses!

Mario Kart has always rocked, and 8 does not disappoint. What surprised me was how much better the Switch version is than the WiiU. The graphics were noticeably sharper and smoother. I'm also enjoying the new battle mode.
