    This game is a must have if you own a Nintendo Switch. It's still the best party kart racing that the title is known for, there are decent clones out there but this game just perfectly runs so smooth on the Switch, nice fun friendly racing and battle mode experience for everyone.

    The best Mario Kart! As a casual you are getting everything you want from this game. Many tracks and characters, a good online and battle mode. The only thing i would have wanted more of is unlockable Tracks or achievements or something in this direction.

    Hands down the best Mario Kart ever. The graphics, the variety of character-vehicle combinations, the smoothness of the gameplay, the possible strategies to run better laps... This is the ultimate must have Switch game.

    The most fun racing game ever, the perfect remaster of the WIi U game, it has neither too few nor too many elements, the perfect combination for a game of this style. It's fun, easy, very beautiful and with a great variety of characters, cars, objects, game modes and maps (especially now with the DLC). A must for any Nintendo user

    There's really no way any racing game will outpace this one. Beautiful, smooth, charming, and tons of fun. The only downside to this version is that there isn't much to unlock or earn. Otherwise, the best party game for switch.

    This definitely is the definitive version of Mario Kart! More courses than ever before and a killer roster makes this a great experience on the Nintendo Switch.

    The extra DLC booster course pack provides even more value and great courses. Some of the remaster/remade courses from previous games look stellar and it's nice to see a few new courses added in as well. There are a few characters from the Mario franchise that I think could've been added (Diddy Kong, goomba, etc).

    I would've also liked to see a "double dash" co-op option but I may be in the minority for a feature like that. Overall, it's the best Mario kart game I've ever played and Nintendo did a great job with this one. It absolutely deserves all the praise it has received.    … Expand

    I didn't play many Mario Kart games before but this one on Switch is a great party game. On one screen with four players, you never know whether you can be the first to the finish line no matter how far you lead. I generally don't play it solo or try to improve my skills, thus I can always find some interesting path when I play it with my friends and usually, I am not the first.

The DLC makes the game even better by adding new characters (currently only Birdo but there will most likely be more), new tracks from previous titles like Coconut Mall, Maple Treeway and Waluigi Pinball and even courses based off the real world! My only real complaint and the only reason why I didn't give this masterpiece a ten is that they made the AI a bit too hard in the latest update as it feels like they get the best item at the worst time for you and will always be closely behind you which now makes it an absolute pain to get 1st place in all four races in a Grand Prix. Besides that I totally recommend this to anyone who has a Nintendo Switch.… Expand

    the dlc is adding more maps, some good some bad, but it's something more, finally.

    One of the most fun games ever and the best Mario Kart, love to play it online and with friends.
    Hate the blue shell though, why a power up that doesnt help the one who gets it and is only good for making the 1st place get 2nd, but thats not why it isnt a 10 haha just the one thing i dont like about the game.
    Love the stable 60 fps and wish Nintendo would pursue for it more times.

    One of the best 4 player racing games available. It's hugely enjoyable with friends, with balanced game play and great graphics.

    1080p60 for single player and 2 player. 3-4 players and it drops to 30fps, but the drop is stable and the slower frame rate doesn't detract from the experience.

    I've not enjoyed a Mario Kart game as much since Mario Kart 64. A true classic.

    If you're playing with friends or online mario kart 8 is a great game, tonnes of tracks, tonnes of modes, and the 200cc mode is excellent. If however you're going to play single player, you're not going to have a very rewarding experience.

    Time trials are pretty fun, but the GP is just an infuriatinf mess most of time. Probably the worst since mario kart 64 (where ai controlled cars would go faster if you over took them preventing you getting a substantial lead.) What makes mario kart 8 gp so bad is the number of cars, theres 12 in a race and they are all gunning for you. You can pretty much predict the order that they'll all finish every race, which is annoying when you don't win a cup after being hammered by everyone on the last lap, even though you placed 1st in the other races. Double dash still remains the best in the series in terms of gameplay. This one is by far the best in terms of content though.    … Expand

    It's fun, but if you're doing well, you'll never get any items worth squat. I know that's sort of an issue in every other Mario Kart game I've played, but it's compounded by the fact that you often won't get good items if you're doing poorly!

    The AI seems to get lightning bolts constantly and conveniently times them as you're jumping over a pit. It happens too often to be coincidence.

Online racing is still smooth as it was on Wii U, and you will have a lot of fun racing other real world players. Battle mode on the deluxe version has been fixed to give us the battle mode we all love. All the fun modes from Shine Runners to Bomb-Omb Blast are back and the new cops and robbers mode is a fun idea.

Es divertido como todos, las nuevas funciones de 2 items, 200cc y modo batalla me parecen unos buenos añadidos sin lugar a dudas.
    Lo mejor que tiene es que es un juego que gusta a todo el mundo, y se echa muy buenas partidas en casa con amigos. El plato fuerte debería estar en el online, pero en mi caso se queda a medio camino (por eso le doy un 8 y no un sobresaliente). Me hubiera gustado que sea más competitivo, me explico, añadir rangos o niveles como en la mayoría de juegos online, una manera para que vean cómo eres en ese juego. El simple hecho de mostrar una puntuación de por ejemplo 3000 puntos no quiere decir que seas un hacha en el online, ya que lo más fácil es puntuar en las carreras (por encima de la posición 9). Sé que está el modo torneo, pero no creo que eso equivalga a obtener rangos por así decirlo. También ese notable lo doy por se un juego de sesiones cortas, ya que no apetece estar jugando muchas horas seguidas, se hace monótono y fácilmente lo dejas de lado al cabo de semanas, jugando nuevamente tiempo después en ocasiones puntuales.
    De todas formas, es un gran juego que merece ser comprado sin duda.    … Expand

There can't even be arguments for licensing since Smash has so many others.

    I also noticed that unlike all other games on the Switch that I've played so far, only Mario Kart 8 Deluxe seems to have issues with the multi-player joy-con analog sticks shifting slightly left or right depending on the controller.

    unfortunately, if you owned the original game on Wii U, this won't be the best time for you, so take it with a grain of salt... it feels like the same game, nothing's different (coming from someone who put 100+ hours into MK8), after around 10 hours of gameplay, it got boring.... and I haven't really used much since around June...

    the 2nd problem (for me) are the character selection, you can be the most amount of characters in this Mario Kart than anyone before it, but there are a lot of shovel ware characters here, Metal Mario, Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy and Baby Rosalina to name a few... you also can't forget the infamous Pink Gold Peach, personally I'd rather have them get rid of these characters than have them at all....

    Basically, if you haven't played this game (or little of it) than I highly suggest this game, but if you have played this (around 5 hours or more) You should rather buy BOTW or Mario O, overall a good game with a little bit more content, but, that's what you should expect from a port....    … Expand

But the gameplay is still as fun and chaotic as it has always been since the original. With classic items from the Mario franchise such as green shells, red shells, and bananas, to new items like the super horn, allowing you to blast away nearby opponents or even the pesky blue shell. The game provides the most amount of tracks in any game with twelve cups to race on, each with four tracks, adding up to a total of 48 tracks. And it doesn't stop with just the tracks, the game also provides you with many body frames, tires, and gliders for you to use, with a total of 78 unique vehicle parts ranging from bikes and karts to even real life vehicles such as GLA and BMW. But overall this game will provide you with many laughs and good times when you and a few friends get together with one another or online.

It seems that each episode just brings a few new races, a few new characters and episodically, new objects, but that's it. And even with this in mind, it worries me to see that Nintendo has to go and get characters/levels from its other licenses to bring something new, a sign that good old Mario cannot renew the concept of his karting game by himself.

    Obviously MK8D remains a very good game, hence the 8 score, but it bothers me than this license I love so much can't innovate.    … Expand

Overall, I gave this an 8.16/10 with my judgement, making it my second favorite title.… Expand

    This game is always a blast to play, both with friends and alone, both online and offline. The driving mechanics are great and intuitive and they work perfectly with the amazing and original tracks. Every single track is really fun to both drive on and look at (except for toad's turnpike) This is just an all around great game that everyone could enjoy.

    This might be one of the best Mario Kart game in the franchise. Too bad it isn't a new one.

    When I first picked the game up when I got my Switch, I was excited to play as the new characters and all that. It's a really good game and you should pick this up for the family if you're looking for a game to play. You won't regret it.

    Mario Kart 8 is a great game, no doubt about it. But compared to other games, it's a little boring, and I personally think it's overrated. But, the tracks are still pretty interesting, and the character roster is all right. I can have a good time with this game.

    This is a good MK game. It has great control, easy to learn and it must be really cool to play with other people, almost as much as Double Dash. But sadly the game has several flaws that restrain it from being a 10.

    -50cc and 100cc and much to easy, especially for a veteran player who did every MK games
    -150cc and 200cc are almost unfair in some ways, since you pretty much always have a race where you get hit by a blue shell 2 seconds before the finish line, get passed by 1-2 or 3 others players and then your score is **** It's sincerely systematic. When you go through every 12 cups, it happens at least once per cup. So since I gave up doing the 100% thing with 3 stars everywhere, I don't really give a damn anymore, but for anyone who tries to do it perfectly, it's gonna be a frustrating experience since this gimmick make the game much harder than it should be.

    -There is also a weird mechanic in the game where if you tend to get out a little out of the path, it forced you to go back on track. It's subtle, but thing can ruin races. It literally happened to me on a race where I wanted to do a short curve drift, and it suddenly shifted to make me take a shortcut I couldn't take because I didn't have a boost. So I fell in the water for no reason and it was (of course) on the last turn. It doesn't happen quite often, but this feels like this mechanics was integrated in the game so beginner players wouldn't constantly fly off road, which can be OK if you are on assist-mode, but never on a full speed mode. It kinda crushes the point since you feel you cannot your kart perfectly.

    -Also too bad some items are gone because it feels less diversified (after 36 cups).

    -They literally changed some races from the past, which is not really a nice hommage since it blow up the point of taking old tracks. I'm not talking about bugs, but about some things that made those races unique. Yoshi's valley is a great exemple. On the N64 version, you could never know who was first during the race because the icon were all switched up with ? marks. Which gave so much suspens and made that race unforgettable. This was took out in the Switch version, which is kinda sad and less exciting.

    You feel that's a really good game with great quality, but the laziness of Nintendo (as usual) to do a deluxe version instead of a new one, and the poor additions or changes they did, doesn't really gives a nice picture of the game.

    So it's worth a good 8, but far behind what it could have been (which feels like a bad habits Nintendo seem to have with their AAA games).    … Expand

    You could see Mario Kart 8 Deluxe as an easy port, because it is to a certain extent. But it would be silly to disregard the ultimate fun this kart experience offers because of this. If you have a Nintendo Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is an essential purchase you will play for over three years and never regret buying.

    Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a refinement rather than a remaster, but one that corrects the few flaws of its predecessor. It would be nice if there was just a bit more new content to help justify the full price release, or if you didn't have to unlock kart mods all over again, but for the foreseeable future, this is the definitive – and best – Mario Kart experience.
