Mario Kart is perfect for everyone! I play competitively with my friends, my nephew of 4 enjoys cruising around (thanks to auto acceleration) and its plain fun. This game includes all of the DLC from the Wii U version so it has more characters and courses. Must have if you have a Nintendo Switch.

Who cares if switch doesn't have a 4k output? This thing looks amazing! Great tracks. The ability to customise cars is really cool. Since the Wii version they 've modified the way in which you can release objects, making it easier to cover your self while using a single joycons to steer

been a fan of the mario kart series since the super nintendo days. really good graphics, great game to play with friends. With throwback levels remade for the switch, it is really fun for even first time mario kart players. Lots of characters to choose from and many vehicles to choose as well.

I’m a fan of Mario and Iove playing the Mario Kart Games. Getting Mario Kart 8, is a must have for me.

This game is a re-master of the Wii U version of the same game. The switch version has 1080p graphics and looks great on the TV and on the handheld screen. The game includes all the DLC from the Wii U version. Multiplayer is a lot of fun. Is great to be able to play this game on the go on the Switch.

I love Mario Kart 8!! It's a great party game, and this version is easier to play. When you fall off the course track, it doesn't take as long to get you back in the game. You could be last for the first 2 laps, and still catch up by the 3rd lap. You just never know how the race will go. :)

As someone who's had fond memories of playing with friends on Mario Kart 64, this game is fantastic. Definitely sets the bar for the Mario Kart franchise. Has an excellent array of both new and old maps from the series. It boasts a fairly large character roster and the ability to customize karts to a (somewhat limited) degree. It can definitely get difficult at the higher levels against the cpu for those of you looking for a challenge. But for kids or newcomers who may find it daunting to control, the game has handicap options that will literally steer the kart for you, preventing you from driving off the map, and auto accelerating for you. So for those parents who would like to play with their kids, its an amazing game. It does have online races, but as I usually play with a group of friends on the couch, I can't attest to how that functions. However, as far as games go on the Switch, this is a great testament to the quality and polish Nintendo is capable of.

This game is a port of the original game that appeared on the Nintendo Wii U. In addition to having all the features of the original, this game now includes all the DLC from the original for free. Plus, there's a few new carts and characters to play as. In addition, the Battle Mode is much better than what is was in the Wii U version, featuring unique battle courses over just reusing racing tracks. Although one minor complaint is that there's no new stages, but that's fine since the base game already has so many. This game is perfect for anyone who never got to experience that Wii U version and want a nice racing game with mayhem and chaos at every turn. The online mode is fun as you show your racing skills around the world. Overall, this was a great purchase.

If you somehow missed MK8 on the Wii-U, this is absolutely a must own. All of that zany, fast moving fun is here, making it the best MK game of the series! If you already own it, I can still recommend it if you have the money to burn, as it adds the DLC and additional content, and it's portable!

I'm not sure if I'm just that good at Mario Kart (there's no way I am) or if this is just very easy, as there's no CPU difficulty setting and I often end up lapping other karts. It's fun with friends, though.

This video game is fun to just sit and play! It is worth it!

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is better than the original. Nintendo has taken an already amazing game and added new features to accentuate its already amazing game and removed issues that existed with the original. A new boost drift, redesigned battle mode, and all characters unlocked name just a few. Amazing!

This is hands down the best version of Mario kart 8 that you can get. I love bringing this game around with me and playing a game against my friends on the go. The new characters added to this game are also amazing. I bought this on the Wii U and double dipping was no problem for me and this game.

Ha so I got this for my son but I think I’ve been playing it more than him. Just love it reminds me of my childhood

If you missed out on mario kart on the wii u, this is a must buy. Even if you have played it on the wii u, you have to get it on switch. Plenty of playable characters and challengin tracks. Online have been a great experience as well. So far match pair has been quick and no lag during online play.

I made the the jump from the Wii to the Switch and I knew I had to have this game. I have been playing Mario Kart since N64; Nintendo continues to amaze me with ingenuity they display when coming out with new twists on the original game. The graphics were so crisp without hurting my eyes. It was nice to not have to unlock characters. (Punishing players for preferring certain aspects of the game was not appreciated. example: time trials) The new battle modes were refreshing and fun! My family loves the additional options to the replay mode. And as usual the stages are a lovely mix of old and new. The old stages have been given new depth because of the updated challenges and modifications. On a final note, they have added smart steering that will keep you from falling off the course. This is good for younger players that may not have the dexterity needed to play. Seasoned players might find it annoying as it may keep you from using shortcuts which require you to go off the course, luckily you can turn it on and off.

I've been playing racing games for a long time, especially Mario Kart ones. This is the best one I've played, which says a lot. It controls very smoothly, the tracks are fun and original. And overall, it's just so fun to play. Me and my wife have a blast, and she doesn't regularly play video games.

Purchased for daughter for christmast by request from her, she loves it and loves being able to hook it up to the larger tv and play it there

Bought for my kids as a game that my non video game loving wife said she would play. So she will play this with them from time to time. Kids love it!

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