Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is my second time buying this game - had it and the expansion on the Wii U. Still a beautiful game years after it was released and a great way to engage with my young son and enter him into the world of Mario. Controls are easy - you can have really basic controls if you use the joycons or more advanced if you use the pro controller or the included adapter that turns 2 joycons into a standard controller. The game’s online functionality keeps your kids safe from anyone acting inappropriately but does not protect them from bad drivers. Overall a wholesome recommendation!

If you have never played the original Mario kart 8, then this deluxe version is the version for you, as it has all characters, including the Wii U DLC, and new characters from the start, plus a brand new battle mode. As someone who had already played Mario kart 8 extensively, Mario kart 8 deluxe is fun, but doesn't add much else to the table from the original. I only put in 25 hours before it's novelty wore off. I can't say it's a must buy for people who already played through the original Wii U version.

It is a really fun game! I’m really enjoying playing it!!!

Its Mario Kart 8 on the go! How can you go wrong with this? It is basically the Wii U version with all the DLC and a few very minor changes. I hope they get us some extra DLC, but its worth the money just to have it portable!

Simpky Fantastic game. Lots of fun playing online or single/multi player with family

All Mario games are great, but this one really takes me back to my childhood. I love the addition of characters.

I get all my Switch games at Best Buy. Mario cart is a game that I've always enjoyed while playing with family and friends. This one has a lot of characters and stages. All the previous DLCs. Also, new fun battle modes :)

Mario Kart 8 is a great game to play alone or with friends. You will never get bored of its different game modes when you play by yourself and its fun to compete with friends. Its also great for children and family

Love it. It has a ton of tracks and is fun to play with friends.

Amazing graphics. Very cute charm. And plenty of characters and race categories to choose from this is an absolute must own. I play this with my 4 year old daughter and she loves it.

Great game! It has a lot of tracks, characters, and vehicles to choose from. You can customize the different karts/cars. Just a lot of fun in every way imaginable, even more fun with friends and family.

Haven't bought the last couple Mario Karts just becasue we haven't bought a Nintendo console in a few years since we've been focusing on xbox and pc gaming in the house. This game brings back memories of previous versions with a new fit and finish that makes it our go-to game on the switch so far. Like I said - can't compare it to the Wii version but I've heard it's similar. It's got great graphics, smooth gameplay, all of the characters you remember and updated versions of tracks from previous incarnations of Mario Kart from older consoles. All of the characters and levels are unlocked out of the box with only the vehicle modifications needing to be unlocked along the way. Great way to kill some time and super enjoyable overall. Great game.

Fun game - can't go wrong with Mario! Fun online!!

Really fun game, my nieces love it. I really recommend. The grapgics are also good.

I didn't have the WiiU so this was my first try at this version. It looks great and is so much fun. I play with my 6 and 8 year old and we have a great time going head to head and trying to win as a team. Highly recommend.

Mario Kart 8 is one of the best racing games around and this Switch version improves upon it. The added battle mode is something that should have been in the original and is as hectic and addictive as ever. However, the biggest improvement to me is being able to play the game on the go. Playing solo on the Switch's gorgeous screen is awesome but being able to pull the Joycons out and have a quick multiplayer session has been a dream come true. It's always been a bummer on past portable games that they required both people to have the system in order to have multiplayer but the Switch's design has now allowed you to past the time with a friend or friendly stranger. And what better pick up and play game is there to share than Mario Kart? Definitely recommended.

This game's crazy fun racing mayhem, and the new auto-steering/acceleration makes it even easier for newcomers to pick it up. It's better with friends, but if you're self-motivated, there's plenty to do on your own too.

Great game my 5 year old son loves the game. Easy for him to play and learn

I didn't think I was going to get this one - I already have the Wii U version. But my son really really wanted it and he was right; this is the definitive Mario Kart that should be a part of everyone's Switch collection.

Awesome game easy to play, great for younger kids .
