    O jogo trouxe tudo que era bom no Wii U, mas com novidades, como o modo batalha que esta fantastico, personagens novos e muito mais! E a portabilidade do Switch é o que faz querer comprar novamente o jogo tambem!

    One of the funniest and most entertaining games I’ve been playing. So happy I bought this. Maybe Mario tennis will be fun too, if it has multiplayer that is

    Great game. Playing it pretty often, when I have the time to play my switch. I recently bought a switch, so i think it'll take some time before i get bored of it

    I don't care if this is just a port from the Wii U. Mario Kart has always been my favorite game franchise and it always will be. This game is amazing. Love it love it love it!

    Best arcade racing game. In arcade, I think it is better than Forza-Horizon.

    It was hard at the begining to accustom to the driftings and other things because I was marioKart64 user, but, after playing for a while it is one of the best games to have fun with your family and friends

    IT’S LIKE IT’S NOT A PORT AND INSTEAD A WHOLE NEW GAME. That’s how great this entry is. The sheer amount of courses (all very good, different and appealing) and characters (a few are useless excuses, but otherwise the character roster is understandable) is amazing. The mechanics are intuitive as always, and the controls are solid. The toy con implementation is innovative. One complaint isIT’S LIKE IT’S NOT A PORT AND INSTEAD A WHOLE NEW GAME.

One complaint is that you shouldn’t play in table top mode; either have 1 foot between you and the console, have multiplayer, or get tunnel vision. That doesn’t make my score lower, though. If you have a switch, pick up this truly definitive version of Mario Kart… Expand

    This game is too good to even describe. The graphics are stunning, the tracks are (mostly) amazing, and the character selection is phenomenal. Don't fall for those kart racing rip-offs. This is truly the DELUXE package and a must-have for Switch users.

    Es, desde luego, el juego que cualquier usuario de Switch debería tener. Tremendamente entretenido, da para echarse carreras sin fin, el online va de maravilla, es frenético en el modo de 200cc, perfecto para jugar solo o en compañía de familia o amigos... En definitiva, uno de los juegos más completos que existen.

    This is not just the best mario kart game, but also the best kart and even racing game to date. I had a lot of fun with the Wii U version, and the Switch version is even better, with all DLC unlocked and better graphics.

    this is definitely the definitive Mario kart experience. the culmination of years of perfecting the Mario kart formula has lead to this.

    Perfect playability, graphics, IA, sound, vibration...
    The only thing that is missing is the story mode that had the mario kart for DS.
    I don't recomend this game if you already have the 8 in Wii U.

    A staple of racing game, I'm pretty convinced that this game is the reason why it is hard to find better racing games, Mario Kart sets the bar really high.

    The best game to play on line in your Nintendo Switch. It´s very competitive and fun.

    Love to play this game with my wife.

    It´s a must have game for Nintendo Switch owners.

    It's exactly like I remember it to be from Mario Kart Wii, except with improved graphics and some new mechanics. I already thought Mario Kart Wii was a 10, so this is an even bigger 10.

    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.
