Customer Ratings & Reviews

I couldn't be any happier with this version of Mario Kart 8. The extra playable characters like the Splatoon characters are amazing! The online play has completely exceeded my expectations. It brings me back to the good ol' Mario Kart 7 days (which even with the original Mario Kart 8 for Wii U having been out, I still always resorted to playing MK7 for online play) until now with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The all new battle modes and new stages are pretty fantastic too. If I could go e this game a 10-star rating, I would.

Bought this to play with my fiance and it's been really fun so far. She enjoys video games much more than I do and we were looking for something that we could play together. I loved Mario Cart when I was a kid and so did she so this was a great choice. I can also play almost competitively with her already despite the fact that I'm not a gamer which makes it more fun. Great game. Couldn't be happier with it.

Love this game! Tons of fun to play with friends. Would recommend!

Fun game with friends and family many modes and characters as well as kart options

This is a fun and challenging game for children,my daughter loves it I recommend it to the fullest.

This game is so much fun to play with others! gets ultra competitive but still a blast and having multiple modes keeps the fun going!

Brings me back to my youth yet it's also new and exciting with new tracks and characters

Love this game. Always fun to play with others. Graphics are amazing to me.

The game has all the DLC included from the Wii U version, but also has new characters and some new gameplay modes. A great game!

This is an awesome game. Def worth the hype. Its super fun. It brings the old game back to life and adds new elements as well.

Another fun Mario cart game that includes race modes and new battle modes. The new tracks are fun and we enjoy having new characters

My boys absolutely love this game and it's their go to game on the switch. Great graphics, fun tracks, just a great game overall.

My friends and i love this game. Purchased for a road trip and it was a blast! Definitely a tradition for our friend group.

Don't get me wrong, this game is SO much fun! I absolutely love it! I do wish that the game would let you customize local races more. For example, you're only allowed to race in cups (4 tracks at a time) until you can switch characters/karts. I wish there were a way for us to be able to just race one track at a time, and perhaps change the number of laps as well. The battle mode is pretty fun, but kind of chaotic. I might be in the minority that can't really tell what the heck is going on, despite having played many car-battle games in the past. I also wish that there were more to unlock and a wider variety of characters to play as. All previously released DLC comes with the game and you can only unlock further kart parts and a variation of a certain character. As far as the characters, do we *really* need the 7 Koopalings? I would much rather have had 7 other characters from Nintendo franchises, but whatever. All that being said, I absolutely have a blast every time I play this game. It is fun to play on your own, online, or (especially) with a group of people. I would 100% label it as a Switch must-have.

my son is very happy with this game! fun and engaging

Great game for the price im a mario fan all my life fan mario game is good in my book

Kids love the game. Seems like a lot of fun. Multiple player supported.

Superb game! The graphic on Mario Kart Deluxe 8 is fabulous! For folks who are familiar with how to play the game, as it doesn't come with game play instructions would be to watch a game play video on YouTube. I was surprised that Nintendo assumes folks, adults and kids will figure out what to do with gold coins and bonus items to throw. Once you figure it all out, the game is a blast!! Purchase and enjoy!!!

My kids usually always fight over playing a game there 4&5 , with this one OMG life saver ! They just end up laughing when either one crashes or wins .. Im glad i bought this which i was debating but its a great game

I haven’t played Mario Kart since when I had the version for the Nintendo DS. Very reminiscent, and a lot of fun. Not very internet heavy when playing online, which is a huge plus if you have sub par internet like I do. I love racing games and this puts a fun twist on it, where drifts, items, and jumps can all change the race in the blink of an eye. Even when you lose, it’s with a smile. Such a fun game!
