This a essential for the Nintendo Switch, it improves upon the Wii U version with new characters, some twists on from previous versions, and a cool new VS mode only in this version. Get it now!

Love this Mario Kart version! So many tracks and characters it feels like endless options! Lots of fun to play and my grandson loves it!

Bottom Line: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is simplistic enough for young family members to play but has enough features and diversity to keep parents engaged. After doing a bit of research, I thought Mario Kart 8 Deluxe would be the perfect game to play with my five year old. The game is very accessible, since the easiest mode has auto accelerate and all small children have to worry about is steering (even this seems optional at times). The races are just about the right length to keep my daughter interested, and we’ve been having a lot of fun playing this game together.

Awesome game, so many tracks to race on, which include updated tracks from previous mario kart games. Anyone can pick up and play this, regardless of age. Fun for the whole family!

Bought for my son’s birthday. We’ve had a blast playing family game night Mario Kart tournaments!

Easy game for everyone in the family to play. Once my parents figured out the controls they didnt want to stop playing.

This game is a must own for the Nintendo Switch for both people who missed out on the original and played the original. It's includes all of the DLC from the original game, all new battle mode maps, new characters, returning items from previous Mario Kart games such as boo, and a few tweaks to make it much better than the original game. Runs at a smooth 60 FPS in single or 2 player, but frame rate drops with 3 or more players. Which is common and expected. A friend can join split screen to play online. Battle mode is actual battle maps now and adds more fun to the game than the original Wii U version. Controls great with the Joycon and pro controller. Buy this game today!

Bought this game as my first game because how can you not? It’s dope! I’ve always been a huge Mario kart fan, and this game is great. I love playing with other people. It’s always fun!

Like iterations before this new gen game, the races are much more detailed and varied. all the characters you've played with and more are all back to see who wins. lots of fun.

This latest iteration of the beloved Mario Kart series is no disappointment. The drafting, the drifting, the drift boosting, the starting line boost, the racing weapons, all of that is here. They have classic maps as well as new ones to feast your eyes on with updated graphics and great definition. I also liked the higher CC classes. I prefer fast racing so the 200CC class was a great addition for the speed demon. A few new weapons as well and you can hold two power-ups at once now as well. The battle rounds are also fun to play and you get to compete with people around the world. Very fun for local multiplayer as well as online play.

It’s a good game, little better graphics than the WiiU. All the tracks are available, that’s great. Must not be missing in your collection

This game is so fun! I played Mario Kart when I was a kid and every version of this game since it came out! I have played this game out over the years! I’ve gotten my kids and husband addicted to. It’s good natured fun and easy yet challenging enough for many ages. It makes for fun car travel and light nights at home.

Great game at a good price, lots of new tracks and characters

If you played the Wii U version, or really even the previous entry in the series on the Wii, you know what you're getting. It's a family friendly racing game with iconic characters. This version has upgraded visuals, which aren't that big of a deal to me personally with this style (i.e., Nintendo cartoonish) of visuals. It also has some additional modes. If you like Mario Kart, this is probably the most definitive modern version of the game (even if the original is still more iconic and better to me). It's definitely worth checking out.

This game is FUN!!! No other way to describe it! Definitely more fun with others though. Works very well on the switch. The computer controlled characters can get a little annoying at times.

Fun game. Same Mario Kart but new characters and new tracks as well as throwback tracks terror old Nintendo systems. My kid loves the game!

Many hours of gameplay are to be enjoyed here. From the long list of tracks and modes this is an excellent party game. The Deluxe version steps it up further with the new content.

Good game and lasting fun for kids of all ages. Very easy to use.

Great game! Lots of fun with some nostalgic (but also updated) tracks and some new ones. Great for groups and individuals. If you like the previous games, you'll love this one too.

I love all Mario games. Mario Kart has been a longtime favorite of mine. So it was a must for my new Nintendo Switch. Fun game for all ages.
