06-04-2025I love Mario Kart. Its been one of the best racing games available since the first SNES game. I havent owned a Nintendo System since the original NES when I was a kid. My wife bought me a Switch recently and I knew Mario Kart was a must own. I could play this game all day and never get bored. I love that you can do smart steering like youre using a Wii remote, or you can just use the joystick for normal functionality. Great Game. Must own for all Switch Owners.

> 3 dayGreat game. We had it on the Wii U, and just recently purchased a switch. I was hesitant to buy this version, since it didnt seem there is a huge difference from the Wii U version. However, we have so much fun all playing together on the switch, I believe this game is a must have. I dont feel bad at all about purchasing both. I love having two sets of joy cons so my husband, myself, and our two kids can all get in on the fun! I did have a slight delivery issue-- my game was delivered to the wrong house. However, amazons customer service was top notch and refunded my money promptly, since we did run out and purchase it elsewhere when it did not arrive. Still 5 stars in my book.

04-04-2025I was a huge fan of the Mario Kart version for the Nintendo Wii, and this version is so much better!!! It takes awhile to get used to, but the graphics are so realistic. The courses are very unique and fun! I also feel like this version has more options for characters, karts, etc. which is a plus!

> 3 dayOne of the main reasons I purchased a Nintendo Switch aside from its hybrid functionality is its ease of playing with others and enjoying a variety of game experiences. Mario Kart offers such awesome experience that its perfect for a married couple. My wife and I constantly play together when we can and truly have fun! The game itself is very colorful and runs smoothly no matter how you decide to play. Its easy to pick-up and play for newcomers or people that are not into video games yet it also offers challenging modes for veterans of the series. My only 2 gripes for the game itself is the character roster as well as unlockables or lack there of. The roster is comprised of some familiar faces but I wish there was more variety. It feels as if the koopa characters and other costume/baby variants of characters are fillers. It would have been nice to see characters from other franchises similar to super smash bros. That brings me into the second point which is the absence of unlockables. From the start all the characters and courses are available to you. The only items you are able to unlock are parts to customize your ride but I wish other forms of rewards were introduced such as more characters, courses, and an achievement list. Despite the two drawbacks of the game this is the definitive edition and it does not take away from the overall experience of having a great time playing with other people. It is easily a must own game the defines what the Nintendo Switch is all about!

> 3 dayMario Kart 8 Deluxe is the most visually impressive Mario game of all time, has the most content of any Mario Kart game, but does that make it the best? Pros: - Massive roster of characters! - 48 tracks! - Beautiful graphics (out does the Wii U) - Stats menu is much better done - You can hold 2 items again (this is a major game changer in a great way) - Boo item and feather return - Menu looks better - Controls are simple - Many different control options - You can play 2 player as long as you own the Switch since the Switch comes with a pair of Joy-Con controllers - Battle Mode is back and better than ever! - Nice variety of Battle Mode battles - Music is wonderful - Online seems to work great Cons: - Smart steering is annoying to keep turned off, very easy to turn it on by mistake - Still no proper trophy celebration - All characters and tracks are unlocked from the start of the game except for 1 character As you can see the pros really out weigh the cons by a lot! I was not a big fan of Mario Kart 8 on Wii U (I wrote a review here on Amazon), but I can safely say that every major flaw that game had has been fixed perfectly with this game! And I failed to mention one of the biggest pros and that is the fact that you can play this game anywhere! The Nintendo Switch allows you to take it with you and play this game wherever you want, and you will always have 2 controllers with you in case you want to play with a friend. The Nintendo Switch is a safe buy for any gamer, we already have Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild and now we have possibly the greatest Mario Kart game ever made! Not to mention the impressive lineup of games we know that are coming for the Switch later this year. Ill end this review now, as Bowser and I have some races to win! See you on the race track fellow Nintendo fans!
