Mario Kart 8 was already a great game on the Wii U. Now on the Nintendo Switch it's even better. Bringing everything from the previous games into one package and putting it on a new system was a great call.

As I pointed out above, this is the same exceptional racing game that bowed in 2014, but as my review hopefully attests, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the definitive version of it. Everything that made Mario Kart 8 special has returned and been amplified, and the additions (including new characters, plus...

At first, I thought I got ripped off, but I didn't. I played for 3 minutes and loved it. I used to play mario kart wii until I found this game

I used to be garbage at Mario Kart. I hated that even when I got overpowered upgrades in 11th place I still would only pull up to 6th. But once you set your mind to understanding all of the mechanics that are presented, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe does what every Mario Kart before it couldn't get right- you...

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the definitive version of Mario Kart 8, the most comprehensive Mario Kart game yet, and a must-buy game for the Nintendo Switch. It's a port of a three-year-old Wii U game, but it's an immaculate, great-looking port that fixes the original version's flaws, adds all the DLC...

Completely overhauled Battle Mode; Tons of tracks, including DLC content; Lots of local and online multiplayer options

Some stuttering with four-player split-screen in testing

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is the first ever port of a Mario Kart game (excluding Virtual Console), porting over Mario Kart 8 from the Wii U. This game isn't just a basic port, however; it includes some major changes to its battle mode, while also adding some other small changes and additions.

Extremely fun; excellent battle mode; tons of characters and tracks to choose from

Online mode is wonky (at the moment

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe takes the best and makes it better. The original's awesome collection of courses, characters, and customization are only enhanced by Smart Steering and the welcomed return of Battle Mode.
